🛡 IoT Security Digest - #7

Introducing Brown Fine Security Training

I'm excited to announce something I've been working on for a while: Brown Fine Security Training. It’s a new platform dedicated to practical, hands-on IoT and hardware security education.

This has been a long time coming. After years of teaching on YouTube and private engagements, I wanted to create a way for more people to learn these skills at their own pace, with real hardware and real challenges.

First Course: Digital Signal Analysis for Hardware Hackers

The inaugural course is now live: Digital Signal Analysis for Hardware Hackers

This course takes you from zero electronics experience to confidently intercepting and decoding the signals that embedded devices use to communicate. If you've ever stared at a PCB and wondered what data is flying between those chips, this is for you.

What you'll learn:

• Digital signal fundamentals (voltage levels, probing techniques, when to use a multimeter vs logic analyzer vs oscilloscope)

• UART: decoding serial communications, calculating non-standard baud rates, and scripting interactions with Python

• SPI: intercepting flash reads, exporting data, and extracting firmware from captured signals

• I2C: decoding multi-device bus communications

• much more!

Who Is This For?

• Pentesters looking to add hardware skills

• Bug bounty hunters expanding into IoT

• Security researchers curious about embedded systems

• Anyone who wants to understand what's actually happening on those wires

More courses are in the pipeline!

Let's hack some hardware!
