Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
Learn how to pentest your hardware with the most common attract techniques and patterns Key FeaturesExplore various pentesting tools and techniques to secure your hardware infrastructureProtect your hardware by finding potential entry points like glitchesFind the best practices for securely designing your productsBook Description If you're looking for hands-on introduction to pentesting that delivers, then Practical Hardware Pentesting is for you. This book will help you plan attacks, hack your embedded devices, and secure the hardware infrastructure. Throughout the book, you will see how a specific device works, explore the functional and security aspects, and learn how a system senses and communicates with the outside world. You'll set up a lab from scratch and then gradually work towards an advanced hardware lab—but you'll still be able to follow along with a basic setup. As you progress, you'll get to grips with the global architecture of an embedded system and sniff on-board traffic, learn how to identify and formalize threats to the embedded system, and understand its relationship with its ecosystem. You'll discover how to analyze your hardware and locate its possible system vulnerabilities before going on to explore firmware dumping, analysis, and exploitation. The reverse engineering chapter will get you thinking from an attacker point of view; you'll understand how devices are attacked, how they are compromised, and how you can harden a device against the most common hardware attack vectors. By the end of this book, you will be well-versed with security best practices and understand how they can be implemented to secure your hardware. What you will learnPerform an embedded system test and identify security critical functionalitiesLocate critical security components and buses and learn how to attack them Discover how to dump and modify stored informationUnderstand and exploit the relationship between the firmware and hardwareIdentify and attack the security functions supported by the functional blocks of the deviceDevelop an attack lab to support advanced device analysis and attacksWho this book is for If you're a researcher or a security professional who wants a comprehensive introduction into hardware security assessment, then this book is for you. Electrical engineers who want to understand the vulnerabilities of their devices and design them with security in mind will also find this book useful. You won't need any prior knowledge with hardware pentensting before you get started; everything you need is in the chapters.

Book Description
Hardware Security: A Hands-On Learning Approach provides a broad, comprehensive and practical overview of hardware security that encompasses all levels of the electronic hardware infrastructure. It covers basic concepts like advanced attack techniques and countermeasures that are illustrated through theory, case studies and well-designed, hands-on laboratory exercises for each key concept. The book is ideal as a textbook for upper-level undergraduate students studying computer engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, and biomedical engineering, but is also a handy reference for graduate students, researchers and industry professionals. For academic courses, the book contains a robust suite of teaching ancillaries. Users will be able to access schematic, layout and design files for a printed circuit board for hardware hacking (i.e. the HaHa board) that can be used by instructors to fabricate boards, a suite of videos that demonstrate different hardware vulnerabilities, hardware attacks and countermeasures, and a detailed description and user manual for companion materials. - Provides a thorough overview of computer hardware, including the fundamentals of computer systems and the implications of security risks - Includes discussion of the liability, safety and privacy implications of hardware and software security and interaction - Gives insights on a wide range of security, trust issues and emerging attacks and protection mechanisms in the electronic hardware lifecycle, from design, fabrication, test, and distribution, straight through to supply chain and deployment in the field - A full range of instructor and student support materials can be found on the authors' own website for the book: http://hwsecuritybook.org
