As technology matures we are seeing a trend of products that are now "smart." The problem is that once we discover how these devices are programmed we can see the flaws but unfortunately the hardware aspect scares some people away. This talk is to show people how easy it really is to get into embedded device hacking while also expanding their knowledge outside of the x86/x86_64 space. By the end of this talk the audience will be encouraged to go out and start their journey into the embedded device world while having the tools that they need without the need of spending money unless absolutely necessary. This talk will also cover the reasoning behind purchasing products such as a logic analyzer and the bricks walls I personally went through to justify the needs.
