EEPROM is read-only non-volatile memory whose contents can be erased and reprogrammed using a pulsed voltage often time used in embedded systems (network routers) and smart IoT devices. EEPROM holds firmware data and bootloader, in this post we will explore non-destructive way to read data from EEPROM for security assements purposes.

As someone who likes to tinker with hardware, we often find ourselves opening up a device to find UART pins which are originally meant for debugging and testing We often use these to connect to the device.
