Practical Hardware Pentesting, 2nd edition (Early Release)

Practical Hardware Pentesting Second Edition is an example-driven guide that will help you plan attacks hack your embedded devices and secure the hardware infrastructure. Throughout the book you ll explore the functional and security aspects of a device and learn how a system senses and communicates with the outside world. You ll set up a lab from scratch and gradually work towards an advanced hardware lab. The first part of this book will get you attacking the software of an embedded device. This will get you thinking from an attacker point of view; you ll understand how devices are attacked compromised and how you can harden a device against the most common hardware attack vectors. As you progress you ll get to grips with the global architecture of an embedded system and sniff on-board traffic learn how to identify and formalize threats to the embedded system and understand its relationship with its ecosystem. This 2nd Edition covers real-world examples featuring various devices like smart TVs baby monitors or pacemakers you ll discover how to analyze hardware and locate its possible vulnerabilities before going on to explore firmware dumping analysis and exploitation. By the end of this book you ll and understand how to implement best practices to secure your hardware Practical Hardware Pentesting Second Edition Learn attack and defense techniques for embedded systems in IoT and other devices Feedback Prerequisites the basics you will need Approach to buying test equipment The component pantry Sample labs Summary Questions Feedback Technical requirements Introduction to the boards Why C and not Arduino The toolchain Introduction to C Summary Questions Further reading Feedback Technical requirements Understanding I2C Understanding SPI Understanding UART Understanding D1W Summary Questions Feedback Technical requirements Finding the data Extracting the data Understanding unknown storage structures Mounting filesystems Repacking Summary Questions Further reading
