IoT UART Console (picocom)

About

This skill provides Claude with specialized tools to interface with hardware via serial consoles using picocom and a robust Python helper script. It streamlines embedded device pentesting by automating prompt detection, handling complex timeout logic, and providing specialized support for AT command sets used by cellular and satellite modems. Whether you are manipulating bootloaders, monitoring passive debug logs, or exploring root shells, this skill ensures reliable and transparent serial communication for IoT security research.

Key Features

• Real-time session logging to /tmp for transparent monitoring of AI interactions
