Wizardry. I’ve spent 18 years programming professionally and I can barely comprehend this. I want to know how in the world people get into this hobby in the first place. How does anyone intuit what gadgets they need to buy to discover meaningful info about arbitrary hardware, or make sense of the info when they get it? The barrier to entry just seems insurmountably high, yet… people do it.
I gained remote code execution via MIDI messages to trick my synth into playing Bad Apple on its LCD. This blog post is about my journey with this reverse engineering project.

Fascinating work!
Random question about RE: given that most hardware/software these days has some kind of "You may not decompile or reverse engineer the software, for any purpose or under any circumstance" clause in their EULA, have you (or others here doing RE like this and blogging about it) ever had any concern or even pushback (legal/takedown/etc) from companies about posting blog posts like this that reveal internal workings and code? I know there are all kinds of exceptions that carve out space for RE under certain circumstances (at least in the US, understandably this can be highly jurisdiction dependant) but things I've read such as https://www.eff.org/issues/coders/reverse-engineering-faq seem to suggest that even then it can still be infringing of copyright/EULA. Curious what others take on this is (I'm absolutely all for it, I love these kinds of posts)

Mad props to those who can.
