All About UART

This introductory course teaches you all about UART, one of the oldest and still one of the most commonly encountered embedded communication protocols. You'll learn the basics of how devices communicate with electronic signals, how UART works down to the voltage on the wire level, how to identify UART signals and most importantly how to interact with them. In addition to teaching about UART this course also teaches you fundamental hardware hacking skills such as how to use a multimeter, logic analyzer, UART adapter and even optionally how to solder.

Beginner's Guide to IoT and Hardware Hacking

The Beginner’s Guide to IoT and Hardware Hacking course teaches foundational skills and techniques required to get started performing security research and testing on IoT devices and hardware. This course focuses mainly on the hardware aspects of IoT hacking and how to use the underlying access to physical hardware to aid in and amplify the ability to hunt for vulnerabilities. While this course is a “beginner” level for IoT and Hardware Hacking the difficulty level as an overall cybersecurity course is intermediate. This course is open to everyone but has been specifically created for students who are familiar with software-based penetration testing (such as network, web, and mobile) and want to learn how to bridge those skills over to IoT and Hardware testing.

Digital Signal Analysis for Hardware Hackers

Master the essential skill of intercepting and analyzing embedded device communications through hands-on exercises with real hardware. This course takes you from digital signal fundamentals to decoding live UART, SPI and I2C signals that represent real-world IoT devices. NOTICE: LAB EXERCISES REQUIRE EQUIPMENT NOT INCLUDED. See the public REQUIRED EQUIPMENT lesson for detailed gear buying guide. Using a custom Raspberry Pi Pico target board and industry-standard logic analyzer software, you'll capture flags through progressively challenging exercises that mirror real-world hardware penetration testing scenarios. No prior electronics experience required.
