CanSecWest is only a few weeks away. I don't run my Hardware Implants class very often, and rarely outside the USA, so if you want to take it, this might be your last chance for at least a year. If you're considering it but haven't registered yet, let us know asap!

The clock is ticking! This is the last week for early registration prices at @BlackHatEvents USA. I have a new class this year: How to use Secure Boot and Encrypted Firmware. blackhat.com/us-26/training/…

Having trouble learning hardware hacking from some clanker assistant? You probably need some hands-on time with real hardware. Applied Physical Attacks # 1 is the perfect intro to understand what's going to happen to a hardware device the moment it gets into attacker's hands.

Hardware Hacking and AI* all using LLMs*: I've been teaching courses about *Attacking *IoT at Black Hat for over a decade - often using tools that include *Logic *Level *MOSFETs. Here's my take on some of the hardware courses and what pairs well for different skill levels:

I had more than one request folks who are antsy to start spending their 2025 training budget tomorrow, but were bummed to miss the sale - so I extended the coupon through the end of the week. 20% off online training, now through Saturday.
Got 2024 training budget left over? Need to use it or lose it? I set up coupon code "useitorloseit" for 20% off all my self-paced hardware hacking training.

If you're looking to get started with hardware hacking this is a great place to start!

I highly recommend Joe's courses. They're a great mix of CS/EE degree program foundations/theory and "I need to check that when I get home" practical. Even if you're not particularly into the hardware side of things, learning about it changes the way you think about software.

I‘m quite excited to get started with the Applied Physical Attacks courses by @securinghw - expecting to learn a lot 😀

I'll be speaking Saturday at @OTapeout about setting and clearing bits... Why does that matter? Just this week, the "2021 Most Important Hardware Weaknesses" highlighted "CWE-1231: Improper Prevention of Lock Bit Modification" Tune in (free!) & hear more: opentapeout.dev/
Ever wondered what makes an ASIC secure? If yes, don't miss out on Joe Fitz' @securelyfitz talk about ASIC security. He'll show us 101 ways to flip a bit and 100 ways to prevent it.... wait what?!

Despite 115° highs in PDX, toolkits for @BlackHatEvents USA remote training and @crowd_supply self-paced training are packed and shipped. Register ASAP for Black hat, registration will cut off before the earlybird deadline if hardware runs out. blackhat.com/us-21/training/…

OK good news intrepid hardware hackers - you can interact with the SPI flash entirely from test points on the airtag, I should try this with a Tigard as well for the @securinghw buzz (test points as posted at github.com/colinoflynn/airta…).

Decided to model a 3D printable case for my #Tigard last night. Almost perfect for a first test-fit! Just need to sort out some printable switch extension for access to those switches. Printed in orange, of course! @securelyfitz @crowd_supply @securinghw #FreeCAD
