Why? With the passing of the years, we feel the need to keep ourselves updated when it comes to bleeding-edge technology — whatever the reasons may be: security, constant updates, fear of missing out, etc. However, it is important to remember that what we used before, back in the good old days, is not totally useless.

Even though it’s a pretty outdated device, I figured I could still learn a lot about hardware hacking—especially about how firmware extraction works. So, what is firmware exactly? Firmware is a low-lev...
