authentic

Authorized hardware and embedded interface security research: UART/JTAG discovery, debug-pad triage, secure-boot overview, and offline firmware analysis.

When to use

• Physical security review of a device you own or are authorized to test.
• Locating and documenting exposed debug interfaces.

When not to use

• Requires physical access and basic HW tooling (adapters, multimeter).
• Soldered or disabled debug ports raise the difficulty sharply.
