Thank you for your feedback!
The Discord server serves as a platform for feedback and discussions about hardware hacking and HardBreak. Do you have any suggestions for alternative ways to offer these features?

You are right! I encountered the same problem. Unfortunately, I didn't find a setting in Gitbook to change the preview text, just the preview image. It seems like it just takes the name of the first page 'Welcome to HardBreak' and adds the site name 'HardBreak' at the end. So I'd have to change the name of the first page, but a name like 'HardBreak - a Hardware Hacking Wiki' or something similar would look weird on the website, I think. I haven't found a good solution for that yet.

I was thinking about it, but the Guidelines include this:
>Off topic: blog posts, sign-up pages, newsletters, lists, and other reading material. Those can't be tried out, so can't be Show HNs. Make a regular submission instead.
so I made a regular submission, as I think HardBreak is reading material. @Mods feel free to move my post, if this is considered a Show HN post.

I just don't want anyone to copy the content and sell it. It's meant to be freely accessible to everyone.

I think I searched for the corresponding SDK back then, but couldn't find anything. Maybe I was just too stupid haha
Yeah I learned a lot doing it!

For context, this drone was reversed back in 2018 as part of my bachelor thesis. At the time, the SDK hadn’t been released yet I believe, so reversing was the only available option. Recently, I revisited this work and decided to include it on my new hardware hacking wiki - HardBreak.

Hey everyone!
I’ve been working on HardBreak (https://www.hardbreak.wiki/), an open-source Hardware Hacking Wiki that aims to gather all the essential knowledge for hardware hackers in one place. Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, I hope you’ll find it useful!
Here’s what’s already in: -Methodology (How to approach a hw hacking project) -Basics (common protocols,tools) -Reconnaissance (Board Analysis) -Interface Interaction (How to find, connect to, and exploit UART, JTAG, SPI, etc.) -Bypassing Security Measures (An introduction to voltage glitching techniques) -Hands-On Examples ---Case study on hacking an Asus router (led to a CVE update) ---Reversing drone communication (land it with your PC) -Network Analysis and Radio Hacking (in progress)
If you’re curious, check it out at hardbreak.wiki! Feedback is very appriciated —this is my first project like this, and I’m always looking to improve it. If you’re feeling generous, contributions over Github (https://github.com/f3nter/HardBreak) are more than welcome—there’s way more to cover than I can manage alone (wish I had more free time, haha). Thanks for reading, and happy hacking!
