Secure the Internet of Things. Analyze firmware, audit hardware interfaces (UART/JTAG), and dissect IoT communication protocols.
From smart bulbs to industrial sensors, IoT is everywhere and often insecure. This advanced course teaches you to audit connected devices. You will learn to extract and reverse engineer Firmware using Binwalk, interact with hardware interfaces like UART and JTAG to gain root shells, and analyze wireless protocols like MQTT, Zigbee, and BLE. We cover the entire attack surface: Hardware, Firmware, Network, and Cloud API, preparing you to secure the next generation of devices.
