    Name:device access exploitation

    Complexity: Since hardware devices are, in general, at least as complex as software devices, the complexity of detecting such a flaw would appear to be at least NP-complete. Injecting such a flaw, on the other hand, appears to be quite simple - given physical access to a device.
