Getting Started With Reverse Engineering Hardware - PSW #802

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