By [Author Name] | TechSecurity Insight Introduction: Beyond the Hardware Screwdriver We have witnessed four distinct waves of product hacking. Wave 1 was physical modification (jailbreaking game consoles, overclocking CPUs). Wave 2 was software keygens and cracks. Wave 3 was network exploitation (IoT botnets, Mirai). Wave 4 was supply chain attacks (compromised firmware updates, hardware Trojans).
Now, we have entered —a paradigm where the product itself is no longer the target; rather, the ecosystem surrounding the product is the vulnerability. In Phase 5, attackers do not "break" products. They re-engineer the relationship between the product, the cloud, the user, and the AI models that govern them. hack of products 5
