In our first segment: the PSW hosts drop valuable insight on how to start your own journey into reverse engineering hardware!

Resources we mentioned:

Building a lab - The list:

  • Soldering iron (and tools and parts such as Solder, Flux, Tweezer, Soldering wick, Cutter, Wire stripper)
  • Hot air rework station (can be bundled with soldering iron)
  • Multi-meter (and lots of associated cables)
  • Jumper and pinout wires
  • Breadboard
  • USB microscope
  • Bench power supply
  • Specific lighting (e.g. my document camera has an LED light that works great)
  • Magnification - magnifying lenses and a headset (esp. if you are old, like us)
  • USB serial devices (or Bus Pirate if you fancy)

Then, in the Security News: Windows 11 tries to fix legacy authentication, Rapid resets and the world’s largest DDoS attack, we finally get to see the cURL vulnerability, and its pretty ugly, turns out Android TV boxes with pre-installed malware are a hot topic, patch your Netscaler, root for everyone with emergency responder software, learn THIS hacking Tools First, long live Wayland, how to actually hack a WiFi device with a Flipper Zero, scanning open source packages, GNOME bugs and a bonus, security is a great idea until there is a bypass in apparmor,a tool that everyone should have in their kit, and we could talk for hours about 25 hard hitting lessons from Cybersecurity! All that and more on this episode of Paul’s Security Weekly!
