Harvesting information — researching on the internet

Scour the internet for all the information you can find – anything that could be useful for your project.

The following information sources are of particular interest:

Manuals for the main system or add-ons.
Support/repair manuals for the main system or add-ons.
Patents related to the system.
Academic articles and known flaws and attacks on the technologies you know the system uses.
User groups and wikis.
Previous research that's been done regarding the system (existing vulnerabilities, articles, "Maker" analysis of the product, and more).
Mobile phone application stores.
If the system uses radio communication and is sold in the US, there will be a Federal Communication Commission (FCC) filing with an FCC number indicated on the system.

Now, let's look at what we'll need for the Furby.
