For over a decade, Andrew "bunnie" Huang, one of the world's most esteemed hackers, has shaped the fields of hacking and hardware, from his cult-classic book Hacking the Xbox to the open-source laptop Novena and his mentorship of various hardware startups and developers. In The Hardware Hacker, Huang shares his experiences in manufacturing and open hardware, creating an illuminating and compelling career retrospective.
Huang’s journey starts with his first visit to the staggering electronics markets in Shenzhen, with booths overflowing with capacitors, memory chips, voltmeters, and possibility. He shares how he navigated the overwhelming world of Chinese factories to bring chumby, Novena, and Chibitronics to life, covering everything from creating a Bill of Materials to choosing the factory to best fit his needs.
Through this collection of personal essays and interviews on topics ranging from the legality of reverse engineering to a comparison of intellectual property practices between China and the United States, bunnie weaves engineering, law, and society into the tapestry of open hardware.
With highly detailed passages on the ins and outs of manufacturing and a comprehensive take on the issues associated with open source hardware, The Hardware Hacker is an invaluable resource for aspiring hackers and makers.

The Hardware Hacker Adventures in Making and Breaking Hardware Andrew Bunnie Huang 9781593279783 Books Reviews
- This book is incredible. The author uses first-hand experience to discuss the concept of "hackable" hardware. When I first heard of this book on AdaFruit's blog, I figured their hype was due to kickbacks or something, but that couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, their words pale in significance to how incredibly fabulous this book is. This book is not just conceptual material -- it has very practical information on how to go from concept, to design, to manufacturing to final product and support -- and it's not just an outline; ever step of the way is presented in deep detail. The content is a little "how to" mixed in with the author's personal experiences, even thoughts on how these processes and techniques can be used for non-technical things. This book will remain on my shelf for a very long time and I'm sure I will be referring back to it quite often.
- In college, I switched my major away from EE specifically because of intro circuit analysis. Thus, I was pleasantly surprised to find this a very readable, relatable account of the path I didn't follow. Having worked in structural design for more than two decades, I think that it is neat to see that while the details are different, engineering problems have similar themes regardless of the specific discipline.
- Andrew "bunnie" Huang's new book "The Hardware Hacker" is full of surprises. The most notable is that the final chapter is all about biohacking from a reverse engineering hardware developer perspective. While you might know Bunnie as a guru of reverse engineering he admits at the end of the book that he flipped a coin when he went to MIT about his major. The EE side of the coin toss won, but biology was the road not taken.
As an open hardware developer I loved the first nine chapters. Bunnie shares all of his trials and experiences offering many valuable lessons about designing hardware which he learned the hard way. He goes further than most and gets into laptop, phone and FPGA adventures where as many of us have not ventured passed simple microcontroller projects. The book is easy to follow as it is loaded with stories, people and factories from around the world.
"The Hardware Hacker's" final chapter blew my mind. Bunnie dives into H1N1 virus compared to computer viruses, analyzing DNA sequences with UNIX CLI tools, decompiling protein sequences and patching our genome. These topics are often explained by biologists, but it was much easier to absorb when the biology was explained with hardware analogies. - An enjoyable read with all sorts of valuable thoughts about hardware design and manufacturing. Even as someone who has followed the author's online writing I have found the book to be a great presentation of this topic.
- Having no experience in outsourced custom electronic manufacturing, this book was enlightening on many levels. Almost makes you feel like an intern along for a ride with a great engineer as he navigates and conqueres the cultural differences exposed in chinese physical manufacturing and managerial oversight.
- Great for the beginner starting to create projects in electronics and want to take it further for a potential money making project beyond the hobbyist who only want to entertain themselves with their own creations. I like the explanation on counterfeit section i briefly read over... Nicely written by "bunnie"
- This book will save me a lot of trouble as we bring our product to market.
Not perfect, just an excellent sharing of information well above other books on the topic. - Give great insight into how complex it is to take any technical ideas all the way through to marketing and final sales.
