Getting Started With Reverse Engineering Hardware - PSW #802

<p>Resources we mentioned:</p> <p>* The Hardware Hackers Handbook is a great start<br /> * Do a badge challenge: <a href= "https://www.cyberark.com/resources/threat-research-blog/an-introduction-to-hardware-hacking"> https://www.cyberark.com/resources/threat-research-blog/an-introduction-to-hardware-hacking</a> <br /> * Take some classes<br /> * Do some Arduino stuff: <a href= "https://www.arduino.cc/">https://www.arduino.cc/</a> <br /> * Take free courses on electrical engineering: <a href= "https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-01sc-introduction-to-electrical-engineering-and-computer-science-i-spring-2011/"> https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-01sc-introduction-to-electrical-engineering-and-computer-science-i-spring-2011/</a>  (And here: <a href= "https://www.tinkerforge.com/en/doc/">https://www.tinkerforge.com/en/doc/</a>  and here: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSQf3iuluYo&list=PLoFdAHrZtKkhcd9k8ZcR4th8Q8PNOx7iU"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSQf3iuluYo&list=PLoFdAHrZtKkhcd9k8ZcR4th8Q8PNOx7iU</a> )</p> <p>Building a lab - The list:</p> <p>* Soldering iron (and tools and parts such as Solder, Flux, Tweezer, Soldering wick, Cutter, Wire stripper)<br /> * Hot air rework station (can be bundled with soldering iron)<br /> * Multi-meter (and lots of associated cables)<br /> * Jumper and pinout wires<br /> * Breadboard<br /> * USB microscope<br /> * Bench power supply<br /> * Specific lighting (e.g. my document camera has an LED light that works great)<br /> * Magnification - magnifying lenses and a headset (esp. if you are old, like us)<br /> * USB serial devices (or Bus Pirate if you fancy)</p> <p>Show Notes: <a href="https://securityweekly.com/psw-802" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">https://securityweekly.com/psw-802</a></p>
