Hardware Hacking: Hacking Real Things

Embedded systems are difficult to attack. There are too many different designs of boards, processors, and operating systems, making reverse engineering challenging. But now everything will become easier – you will be taught by two leading world experts in hardware... hacking. Take an accelerated course on the architecture and security of embedded devices, learn about electrical signals, firmware analysis, and much more. The authors combine theory with practical instructions that you can apply to real hardware. The book concludes with descriptions of attacks on devices such as the Sony PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Philips Hue lamps. An appendix provides a list of all the equipment you will need for a home lab, whether you plan to modify a circuit board or gather and analyze power consumption graphs.
