WORLD'S FIRST MIDI SHELLCODE

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

This blog post discusses how researchers gained control of a Yamaha PSR-E433 synth by sending MIDI messages to make it play a song on the LCD screen. The researchers discovered a powerful chip inside the synth and found ways to manipulate its memory through MIDI commands. By using clever tricks and assembly snippets, they were able to create the world's first MIDI shellcode without needing special interfaces like JTAG or UART.
