Hey everyone! I’ve been working on HardBreak (https://www.hardbreak.wiki/), an open-source Hardware Hacking Wiki that aims to gather all the essential knowledge for hardware hackers in one place. Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, I hope you’ll find it useful! Here’s what’s already in: -Methodology (How to approach a hw hacking project) -Basics (common protocols,tools) -Reconnaissance (Board Analysis) -Interface Interaction (How to find, connect to, and exploit UART, JTAG, SPI, etc.) -Bypassing Security Measures (An introduction to voltage glitching techniques) -Hands-On Examples ---Case study on hacking an Asus router (led to a CVE update) ---Reversing drone communication (land it with your PC) -Network Analysis and Radio Hacking (in progress) If you’re curious, check it out at hardbreak.wiki!

is is my first project like this, and I’m always looking to improve it. If you’re feeling generous, contributions over Github (https://github.com/f3nter/HardBreak) are more than welcome—there’s way more to cover than I can manage alone (wish I had more free time, haha). Thanks for reading, and happy hacking!
