Can someone who does hardware hacking tell me how to hardware hack

We’re can I learn hardware hacking as a beginner into hardware hacking because I am interested in learning about hardware
Do you have a soldering iron? That's #1 tool.

Look into Arduino.

Nice cheap starter sets too:

Is that the type of Hardware Hacking you're speaking about?

I’m talking about like hacking hardware like PlayStation hardware and Xbox hardware and probably also Nintendo hardware like the switch

No just hardware and jailbreak not trying to get free dlc or anything just want to learn hardware hacking

ok i saw a tito in cracked.io u can go and check it for ps3 and switch
first learn arduino/microcontrollers in depth for a practical sense of learning(basic arduino and circuit knowledge wont help, u need to go deeper) and how computers work(theory part). Then you can start researching how how these consoles have been hacked, and then try to replicate them yrself. Then u can try make ur own hacks with ur new knowledge and experience.
Depends on what you mean by "hardware hacking", do you mean microcontrollers(Deauthers and populare Amazon IoT Devices) or like actually using A soldering iron and modifying existing hardware to repurpose it or for example jailbreak a PS5.
In the dark we hide, in fear we thrive.
if I'm not mistaken i think he means dumping firmware and altering IOT devices

if this is correct then ow boy prepare to spend a long time it's not easy

is good start he explains it all pretty well and actually turned it into a job

Its fun but costly hobby one thing I will say is when you get comfortable to start buying tools for this sort of thing don't go too cheap
cheap ain't always the best and a lot of the non branded cheap tools will cause you more headache due to there shit build then anything else

Jailbreaking a ps5 need skill and you need to be a expert on hardware hacking as the ps5 come with a lot of built in strong security as it might not be easy for a new person compared to a experienced hardware hacker.

I know that person I follow him on YouTube he post good content that I like
I have an E3 Flasher for jailbreaking ps3's. I just follow tutorials on the internet but the videos explain it in depth.
JTAG first. IC Lookup. PCB Trace. Solder and GPIO understanding will help. LabJacks are slick. Cha Cha Cha
You can try to connect the pins of a miracle box and look into its code and modify its code as your wanted things to happen.
