We’ve seen several Security-based hardware projects from Koko (@justcallmekoko) in the past, including the Masterkey keylogger which we explored a few days back. Looking through his projects on GitHub today, I stumbled on another security-based project called the Tinyduck. A cheap alternative to the popular Rubber Ducky, the Tiny Duck is an Attiny85 microcontroller-based pentest […]

Top 10 Popular Microcontrollers Among Makers


https://www.electronics-lab.com/top-10-popular-microcontrollers-among-makers/

At the heart of any embedded electronics device, either on a DIY or professional product level is a microcontroller. They run the codes/firmware that helps developers obtain inputs from sensors and tie it to actions executed through actuators. While they are usually developed as general-purpose components, MCUs are built with certain features and functionalities that […]
