Hardware Hacking and AI* all using LLMs*:
I've been teaching courses about *Attacking *IoT at Black Hat for over a decade - often using tools that include *Logic *Level *MOSFETs.
Here's my take on some of the hardware courses and what pairs well for different skill levels:
This is a great opportunity for practical/industry research that has an academic value to be present. It is also quite soft requirements in terms of paper lenght.
Wheeeee the fine folk of @BSidesPDX will have @Blackhoodie_RE back this year, with a training about microarchitectural security by the one and only @barbieauglend

⚡ Lenovo webcams can be hacked into remote BadUSB weapons.
Flawed firmware checks let attackers send or infect a camera to inject keystrokes, survive wipes, and spread to other hosts.
