Getting Started With Reverse Engineering Hardware - PSW #802
Resources we mentioned:
* The Hardware Hackers Handbook is a great start
* Do a badge challenge: https://www.cyberark.com/resources/threat-research-blog/an-introduction-to-hardware-hacking
* Take some classes
* Do some Arduino stuff: https://www.arduino.cc/
* Take free courses on electrical engineering: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-01sc-introduction-to-electrical-engineering-and-computer-science-i-spring-2011/ (And here: https://www.tinkerforge.com/en/doc/ and here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSQf3iuluYo&list=PLoFdAHrZtKkhcd9k8ZcR4th8Q8PNOx7iU )
Building a lab - The list:
* Soldering iron (and tools and parts such as Solder, Flux, Tweezer, Soldering wick, Cutter, Wire stripper)
* Hot air rework station (can be bundled with soldering iron)
* Multi-meter (and lots of associated cables)
* Jumper and pinout wires
* Breadboard
* USB microscope
* Bench power supply
* Specific lighting (e.g. my document camera has an LED light that works great)
* Magnification - magnifying lenses and a headset (esp. if you are old, like us)
