Inhaltsangabe

Ever wondered what’s really going on inside your favorite gadgets? Maybe you want to tweak your smart home devices, analyze firmware like a pro, or just finally unlock that one feature your manufacturer swears you don’t need. Welcome to Hacking the Machine: Reverse Engineering Hardware & Embedded Systems, where we turn black-box devices into open books—and have a blast doing it.

This isn’t just another dry, technical manual. Nope. This book is for the tinkerers, the curious minds, and the security researchers who can’t help but ask, “But what if I could make it do this instead?” Whether you’re just getting started with hardware hacking or already comfortable wielding a logic analyzer like a pro, this book will take you deeper into the world of embedded systems, firmware analysis, debugging, and security bypasses.

You’ll learn how to:

• Reverse engineer IoT devices, embedded systems, and consumer electronics
• Extract, analyze, and modify firmware (because the real magic happens in the code)
• Use JTAG, UART, SPI, and I2C to uncover hidden device functions
• Debug live systems and break through secure boot protections
• Launch cryptographic and hardware-based attacks (all in the name of research, of course)
• Analyze automotive and industrial control systems for security flaws
• Hack FPGAs, software-defined radios, and more to manipulate hardware at its core

This book is part of The Ultimate Reverse Engineering Guide: From Beginner to Expert series, designed to take you from a curious beginner to an elite reverse engineer. If you’re new to the field, start with Reverse Engineering 101: A Beginner’s Guide to Software Deconstruction. If software is your game, check out Cracking the Code for reverse engineering software protections or Exploiting the Unknown for advanced vulnerability research. And if you want to master disassembly, Mastering IDA Pro and Ghidra Unleashed will make you unstoppable.

By the time you turn the last page, you’ll have the knowledge (and the tools) to reverse engineer hardware like a pro. Whether you’re hacking for security research, curiosity, or just for fun, this book will help you see technology in an entirely new way.

So grab your screwdriver, fire up your logic analyzer, and let’s start breaking things—for science!
