Intro to Hardware Reversing: Finding a UART and getting a shell

This video is part of the Figurable project, which is geared toward people who are curious about IoT security and looking for that first bite of the apple. If you’re interested in hardware but haven’t had a chance to play with any yet, this one’s for you. In this “hello world“-level reversing project we’re checking out a UART (serial port) and using it to access a shell on a *very* soft target. If you decide to try it on your own you’ll find an equipment list, walkthrough references, and some troubleshooting ideas at the link below.
