SKILL.md

This skill enables interaction with IoT device UART consoles using picocom for security testing and penetration testing operations. It supports bootloader interaction, shell access (with or without authentication), device enumeration, and vulnerability discovery.

IMPORTANT: This skill includes a Python helper script (serialhelper.py) that provides a clean, reliable interface for serial communication. This is the RECOMMENDED method for interacting with IoT devices.

ALL commands run by Claude will be logged to /tmp/serialsession.log by default.
