In today's world, embedded systems are ubiquitous. From smartphones and smart TVs to self-driving cars and industrial robots, they are the brains behind countless devices that make our lives easier and more efficient. But what if you could go beyond simply using these devices and actually understand how they work? What if you could hack them to do things that they were never designed to do?

The Hardware Hacking Handbook is your ultimate guide to the world of embedded systems. Written by two experienced hardware hackers, the book covers everything from basic electronics to advanced reverse engineering techniques. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned pro, you'll find something to learn in this book.

In this book, you'll learn how to:

This book is for anyone who wants to learn more about embedded systems. Whether you're a hobbyist, a student, or a professional engineer, you'll find something to learn in this book.

The Hardware Hacking Handbook is written by two experienced hardware hackers:

Mike Ossmann is a software engineer and hardware hacker. He has written several books on embedded systems, including The Embedded Systems Handbook and The Reverse Engineering Handbook.
Dragan Misic is a hardware hacker and security researcher. He has worked on a variety of projects, including developing a new type of electromagnetic lock and hacking a commercial drone.

The Hardware Hacking Handbook is divided into 10 chapters:

to Electronics 2. Multimeters and Electrical Measurements 3. Building Basic Electronic Circuits 4. Programming Microcontrollers 5. Reverse Engineering Embedded Systems 6. Hacking Embedded Systems 7. Embedded Systems Security 8. Advanced Topics in Embedded Systems 9. Projects 10. Resources

The following is a sample chapter from The Hardware Hacking Handbook:

Chapter 1: to Electronics

Electronics is the study of the flow of electricity and the devices that use it. Embedded systems are electronic systems that are designed to perform a specific set of tasks. They are typically found in devices such as smartphones, smart TVs, and self-driving cars.

The basic building block of electronics is the transistor. Transistors are semiconductor devices that can amplify or switch electrical signals. They are used in a wide variety of electronic circuits, from simple amplifiers to complex microprocessors.

In this chapter, we will learn the basics of electronics, including:

Voltage
Current
Resistance
Capacitance
Inductance
Transistors

We will also learn how to use a multimeter to measure and troubleshoot electrical circuits.

The Hardware Hacking Handbook is your ultimate guide to the world of embedded systems. Whether you're a hobbyist, a student, or a professional engineer, you'll find something to learn in this book.
