ABSTRACT:
The Offensive Hardware Hacking Training is a hands-on course designed to fulfill the skills gap that in the 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. Moreover, the students' workbook contains more than 40 practical exercises involving real hardware devices and will allow each student to physically work on them during the training AND also to bring it at home together with their own first HW Hacking Lab Kit worth around 300 USD.

STUDENT REQUIREMENTS:
  • Basic knowledge of Linux OS
  • Basic knowledge of  bash scripting & python
  • Basic exposure to OWASP terminology
 
WHAT STUDENTS SHOULD BRING:
Students must bring their own laptop with VMware Workstation. Local Administrative privileges to the host laptop may be required to ensure proper virtual machine functionality (this is absolutely required. If your company will not permit this access for the duration of the course, then you should make arrangements to bring a different system). VM images will be provided to students;
A minimum of 100GB free disk space is required.
The laptop must have with a RJ45 connector and at least 2 USB-A ports (or an external docking station with USB-A ports and RJ45).
Would be also beneficial the possibility to load a Linux LiveOS from USB flashdrive. You must be able to access your system's BIOS throughout the class. If your BIOS is password-protected, you must have the password. Note: Apple computers are heavily discouraged due to their instability in running Vmware.

WHAT STUDENTS WILL BRING HOME:
  • A dedicated vulnerable WiFi CPE Router for practical hands-on exercises.
  • A complete soldering kit and two soldering training sets (SMD and THT)
  • Hardware Tools for hands-on: Multimeter, SOC-8/16 sockets clips, SPI Flash chips, Logic Analyzer,  Micro Probes, multi-protocol JTAG/UART/SPI/I2C detector and analyzer, etc
  • Slides, Scripts, Tools, etc.
  • A BRUSCHETTAboard (a multi-purpose programmer and memory dumper with embedded voltage level-shifters)
  • A 200 pages paper workbook with more than 40 walkthrough exercises and valuable tips
  • A 64GB USB 3.0 flashdrive with NdujaOS: A Live distro Fully Customized for Hardware Hacking
  • A free voucher to attempt the exam for the CH2 (Certified Hardware Hacker) certification
NON DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT:
A NDA will have to be signed before starting the class (you can’t do the class if you don’t sign it): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bXNvkUQrpZ4Jly5E6oo61VAsRu8LzhZ2/view
