Now that we've seen how to program the chip, let's apply it to an application and use it to actually start attacking systems. We will do that by looking into a number of standard protocols that are used to communicate between chips and the outside world. They usually define only the physical layer for chip-to-chip communication and (almost) never go into higher levels of abstractions. In this chapter, we will learn how to operate, sniff, and attack I2C, SPI, UART, and Dallas 1-Wire (D1W).

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Understanding I2C
  • Understanding, sniffing, and attacking SPI
  • Understanding, sniffing, and attacking UART
  • Understanding, sniffing, and attacking ...
