Wireless sensors will soon be part of many industrial, military, and home networks. Of the various networking protocols, which include Zigbee, ISA100, Wireless HART, 6LowPAN, and others, none has yet become a definitive standard. Neither have vendors standardized upon a given operating system, compiler, or microcontroller. Users of these sensor networks are often given no command-line, no internal documentation, and no access to the internals of each device. This paper provides a thorough introduction to reverse engineering such devices, both in hardware and in software.
