Preface

This book focuses on hardware security.

It will teach you how hardware systems are architected and how to understand the general architecture of a system. You will also learn where to find information about a system, which may exist in unexpected places.

We will examine the basic protocols that electronic devices use, look at how to attack the protocols, and learn how to leverage these attacks against the device as a whole.

You will learn how to identify the scenarios that matter for impacting the way a system works, how to test for them during a hardware assessment, and how to reach a system's 'crown jewels'.

In this book, we will teach you how to leverage attacks against hardware, with very cheap tools, to reach the software that runs on the device. You will learn how to extract and analyze this software, and how to alter the software's behavior through direct hardware/software interaction.
