Why read it?

1 author picked The Hardware Hacking Handbook as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love the wonderful collection of expert knowledge and practical experience on side-channel analysis, fault attacks, and corresponding countermeasures created by Colin O'Flynn and Jasper van Woudenberg.

When reading through this one, I always remember my time as a PhD student, when my colleagues and I performed several tricky hardware attacks in our lab... That was definitely challenging but also a lot of fun!

From Dominik's list on embedded system security enthusiasts.
