Anyone can hack IoT - Beginner's Guide to Hacking Your First IoT Device

By Andrew Bellini

Staying Safe

  • Never work on high voltage (120v/240v)
  • Never used damaged or modified power supplies
  • Power off circuits when not in use
    • Easy to bridge something accidentally and cause a short circuit, bricking the device
  • Watch out for large capacitors
    • They can be charged for awhile after the board is unplugged
