Presented at CackalackyCon 1 (2019), June 1, 2019, 8 p.m. (60 minutes)

During this presentation I will be discussing and demoing various methods to gain root console access to embedded devices via UART. As part of this presentation I will detail methods around analyzing the circuits boards using logic analyzer to help identify UART pinouts. The discussions and demos will also including covering attack methods for gain access to UBOOT console, and further attacks via boot arguments, environment variables changes, and passwords alterations, which can lead to root level access.
