   Not super practical, but neat attack

      That is peanuts for a nation-state actor.

         Sure, but if you’re defending against a nation state actor hopefully you aren’t expecting a raspberry pi to keep you secure.

            The RP2350 is an inexpensive microcontroller IC with reasonable performance and some very useful (and somewhat unusual) features in its PIO blocks.

            Why wouldn't a person build that into the heart of something important?

               "Important" and "tamper proof against a determined adversary" are very different goals.

                  Tamper proof against a determined adversary starts at 'call us' not at '$10'.
