Take a practioner’s approach in analyzing the Internet of Things (IoT) devices and the security issues facing an IoT architecture. You’ll review the architecture's central components, from hardware communication interfaces, such as UARTand SPI, to radio protocols, such as BLE or ZigBee. You'll also learn to assess a device physically by opening it, looking at the PCB, and identifying the chipsets and interfaces. You'll then use that information to gain entry to the device or to perform other actions, such as dumping encryption keys and firmware. As the IoT rises to one of the most popular tech trends, manufactures need to take necessary steps to secure devices and protect them from attackers. The IoT Hacker's Handbook breaks down the Internet of Things, exploits it, and reveals how these devices can be built securely. What You’ll Learn
<ul>
<li>Perform a threat model of a real-world IoT device and locate all possible attacker entry points 
</li>
<li>Use reverse engineering of firmware binaries to identify security issues 
</li>
<li>Analyze,assess, and identify security issues in exploited ARM and MIPS based binaries</li>
<li>Sniff, capture, and exploit radio communication protocols, such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and ZigBee 
</li>
</ul>
Who This Book is ForThose interested in learning about IoT security, such as pentesters working in different domains, embedded device developers, or IT people wanting to move to an Internet of Things security role.

Playing Minecraft is a lot of fun, but the game is more engaging, entertaining, and educational when kids learn how to build mods—small programs that let them modify game elements and add content. This family-friendly guide teaches kids and parents how to create mods of different types, using the Minecraft Forge modding tool. No programming experience is needed.
You’ll not only build some amazing mods with the book’s easy-to-follow instructions, but you’ll also learn how to work with Java, the same programming language that Minecraft uses. Why wait? Get started with computer programming and be more creative with Minecraft while you’re at it!
This book will help you:
<ul>
<li>Learn the fundamentals of Minecraft Forge and other tools, such as Eclipse</li>
<li>Start out by building and testing a simple chat message mod</li>
<li>Build cool mods that make things explode on contact, and help entities jump higher and climb walls</li>
<li>Introduce new Minecraft content, including commands, blocks, items, and recipes and textures</li>
<li>Work with Java fundamentals such as classes, methods, annotations, control structures, and arrays</li>
<li>Learn techniques for creating your own mods</li>
</ul>
This guide is based on workshops the authors deliver to kids around the world.

Android is the most popular mobile smartphone operating system at present, with over a million applications. Every day hundreds of applications are published to the PlayStore, which users from all over the world download and use. Often, these applications have serious security weaknesses in them, which could lead an attacker to exploit the application and get access to sensitive information. This is where penetration testing comes into play to check for various vulnerabilities.  Learning Pentesting for Android is a practical and hands-on guide to take you from the very basic level of Android Security gradually to pentesting and auditing Android. It is a step-by-step guide, covering a variety of techniques and methodologies that you can learn and use in order to perform real life penetration testing on Android devices and applications. The book starts with the basics of Android Security and the permission model, which we will bypass using a custom application, written by us. Thereafter we will move to the internals of Android applications from a security point of view, and will reverse and audit them to find the security weaknesses using manual analysis as well as using automated tools.   We will then move to a dynamic analysis of Android applications, where we will learn how to capture and analyze network traffic on Android devices and extract sensitive information and files from a packet capture from an Android device. We will look into SQLite databases, and learn to find and exploit the injection vulnerabilities. Also, we will look into root exploits, and how to exploit devices to get full access along with a reverse connect shell. Finally, we will learn how to write a penetration testing report for an Android application auditing project.

2017 has seen IoT devices being hacked like never before. We have seen attacks such as the Mirai Botnet, vulnerabilities in popular cars, hacking of IoT rifles, attackers taking advantage of smart toys and the list goes on. Everything is getting connected like never-before, yet, security is one of the last thoughts during the product launch stage for most of the manufacturers. This book can be treated as a technical journey into mistakes which manufacturers make while building IoT devices, or the so-called “smart things”. IoT Hackers Handbook is written in a beginner-friendly way covering everything from the extreme basics and then using exercises and labs to have the readers learn-by-doing. Some of the contents that are covered in the book include: Embedded Device Exploitation Firmware Exploitation and Emulation Hardware communication protocols – UART, SPI etc. JTAG debugging and exploitation Software Defined Radio, ZigBee and BLE Exploitation After reading the book, you will be able to understand the various security vulnerabilities crippling the Internet of Things devices, and how you can play a major role in identifying these security issues, thus making the IoT ecosystem safer.
