This two-day comprehensive course teaches fundamental hardware hacking concepts and techniques used to explore, manipulate, and exploit electronic devices, including product teardown, component identification, circuit board reverse engineering, soldering and desoldering, signal monitoring and analysis, and memory extraction. Combining lecture and hands-on exercises, it culminates with a final challenge where you’ll identify and defeat the security mechanism of a custom hardware target.

This class premiered in 2005 and is the longest-running hardware hacking training of its kind. It is continually updated to reflect the current state-of-the-art.
