New Skill Forged

The Hardware Hacking Handbook: Breaking Embedded Security with Hardware Attacks by Jasper van Woudenberg & Colin O’Flynn. 446 pages.

Comprehensive hardware security attack guide — finding debug interfaces (JTAG/UART), firmware extraction (SPI/JTAG), fault injection techniques (voltage/clock/EM/optical), power analysis attacks (SPA/DPA/CPA with Python), real-world examples (PS3, Trezor One, Philips Hue), and countermeasure design.

What this skill teaches Claude to do:

  • Build hardware attack trees: enumerate assets, threats, paths, and scoring
  • Identify and exploit UART/SPI/I2C/JTAG/SWD debug interfaces on PCBs
  • Extract firmware via SPI flash dump (flashrom) and JTAG memory read (OpenOCD)
  • …and 5 more
