In this 5-day course, students will learn the basics of introductory hardware hacking and interfacing with IoT devices to gain console access, dump firmware, and debug IoT devices. Additionally, they will learn the techniques for performing vulnerability research by firmware analysis using emulation, fuzzing, decompilation, static analysis, and code review. For many of the physical interfacing labs, the BUSSide hardware hacking tool, created by the trainer, will be used for interfacing. Students will learn practical skills, tool usage, vulnerability research techniques, and some underlying theory.
