This guide outlines essential strategies for ensuring that complex physical or scientific measurements are fully reproducible by external parties, long after the original testbed is decommissioned. It mandates capturing detailed provenance data, including energy measurement methods, hardware specifications, firmware toolchains, environmental conditions, and ground-truth protocols, thus transforming raw data into verifiable, sharable scientific artifacts.

A comprehensive methodology for rigorous scientific research in operating systems and complex systems. This guide details how to pin environments (OS, firmware, hardware), automate data capture, and script all figures to ensure that experimental results are auditable and fully reproducible, protecting findings against review challenges.

This specialized skill is designed for advanced reverse engineering of firmware images in CTF environments. It guides users to map partition tables, trace complex boot chains (bootloader, kernel, init), analyze update packages, and recover embedded secrets or credentials. Use it when understanding the device's core architecture and execution path is necessary to find the decisive artifact.

This guide outlines the methodology for conducting hardware security research on embedded systems. It covers physical interface analysis (UART, JTAG, SWD), debug pad triage, secure boot evaluation, and offline firmware extraction. It emphasizes systematic, non-destructive testing protocols and responsible handling of physical devices.
