What is UART? The serial port hidden on circuit boards. Find TX, RX and GND, work out the baud rate and safely read the boot console of a device you own.

Hardware CTF challenges explained: radio, NFC, BLE, serial buses, firmware and side-channel. Public write-ups worth reading and the minimum kit to take part.

Free resources to learn hardware hacking: books, YouTube channels, CTF platforms (Hackropole, Microcorruption, RHme), European conferences and a 3-month plan.

USB logic analyzer tutorial: install PulseView, then decode an Arduino's UART, a sensor's I2C and an SPI flash chip. Plus: cheap clone or Saleae?
