While I await my CHIP to arrive, I thought I'd note some of the other new items that have popped up in the last few months in terms of new boards for IoT. I think most should be aware of these, but some may not be aware of all of these.

Resources for the Internet of Things Security
At the HackMiami Conference on May 16, 2015, I did a presentation on an Introduction to Internet of Things Security. The presentation is now up on YouTube. I have the link below.
As a tie-in to the presentation, I am providing here links to the various resources that I covered in the presentation, along with others I didn't have the time to. If you come across other items of interest, please add them to the comments.

GeorgiaTech Researchers can hack your iPhone via charger
The use of small hardware devices (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone) to hack systems is one I've touched on before. At the recent HackMiami Conference there was a very good presentation on this. I think this is a vector that not too many security professionals are aware of, to their detriment.
HERE is a recent article on some researchers at the Georgia Tech who say they can infect an iPhone via a charger. They will be showing how they did it at the upcoming Black Hat conference.
Apparently it's done with a BeagleBoard, which is a sizable device. A BeagleBone would have been smaller, and easier to fit into a surge protector/power strip then a BeagleBoard. But maybe they were looking for more proof of concept.

Mini Android PC
In a previous entry, I pointed out some of the interesting mini-computers that are now out there. The most well known of these are the Rasberry Pi and the BeagleBoard. These mainly run Linux, tho there is work being done to put other OSs on them.
I think from a research perspective, these give some interesting avenues of investigation for security matters. Especially at such low cost, one could have several devices to test against. Instead of having a rack of full blown PCs, one could have several such mini PCs.
For those wanting to research Android security, things seem kind of slim. I don't like the idea of using my own smartphone for such work, tho I could see using a separate pre-paid Android phone for this. But that could still get costly.
