When attacking IoT devices, it is often beneficial to bypass software and interact with the device’s hardware directly. Doing so allows for much greater access and control, but requires more specialized knowledge and hardware. In this stream, we will provide a quick intro to in-circuit programmers, from a hardware-hacking perspective. Using open-source software and $3 in hardware, we will interact with and modify firmware on the DEFCON Furs DEF CON 26 #badgelife badge.
