Hardware
UART: From Signal to Shell
UART is the most common debug interface left exposed on IoT devices. This course takes you from understanding the electrical signal all the way to getting a root shell — the exact path a hardware hacker follows in the field. Every major embedded device you'll ever audit has UART. Learn it once, use it everywhere.
