The Hardware Hacking Training 101 is a hands-on course designed to fulfill the skills gap that in recent years emerged within the InfoSec scene in respect of the (I)IoT landscape. In it, students will be able to gather the needed theoretical knowledge and practical skills to engage with confidence hardware security audits involving those devices, that started to flood both consumer and corporate markets. The course is structured to be accessible to both junior and senior security personnel: it goes from a generic panoramic of the theory behind electronics, protocols, memories, microprocessors & tools-of-the-trade; then proceeds deeper into the topics by reviewing various TTPs. This course is a unique opportunity to enhance the skills of InfoSec professionals who are going to be involved in engagements or applied research involving unusual devices: IoT appliances, hardware implants, ATM skimmers, smart devices, Industrial IoT gateways/sensors, etc.
