Hardware hacking methodology

The following are the steps involved in a Hardware hacking methodology methodology:

• Information gathering and recon
• External and internal analysis of the device
• Identifying communication interfaces
• Acquiring data using hardware communication techniques
• Software exploitation using hardware exploitation methods
• Backdooring (optional)

Let's go into each of them, one by one, and understand each of these steps at a deeper level.
