Embedded Computing Tools for Wireless Hardware Hacking

A hands-on exploration of embedded hardware tools implementing multiple wireless communication standards. Experiment with Wi-Fi wireless local area network (WLAN) technology and Bluetooth personal area network (PAN) technology. Stream audio to and from a variety of endpoints. Configure a Nordic nRF52 Bluetooth sniffer to capture and analyze wireless communications using Wireshark. Examine the design and manufacture of an exclusive dual-core embedded hardware target supporting both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Leverage the target to experiment with microcontroller-based wireless hardware hacking. Practice both sinking and sourcing Bluetooth audio streams into and out of the hardware target. Capture Wi-Fi packets using the hardware target for offline analysis. Perform example security exploits and countermeasures using embedded wireless hardware tools.
