Tools and techniques used to "break" hardware wallets demystified ...
"Why do I need to care worry about technical details 'n' stuff?!" you might ask.
"I've been down with crypto currency for over a decade!" you say.
"Crypto is secure!" you say.
"I'm a crypto legend!" you say.
This doesn't mean that despite your best efforts there aren't risks you've either avoided or somehow passed over which you might want to know about ...

Per Wikiedia:
"In cryptography, a side-channel attack is any attack based on information gained from the physical implementation of a cryptosystem, rather than brute force or theoretical weaknesses in the algorithms (compare cryptanalysis).
For example, timing information, power consumption, electromagnetic leaks or even sound can provide an extra source of information, which can be exploited to break the system.
Some side-channel attacks require technical knowledge of the internal operation of the system on which the cryptography is implemented, although others such as differential power analysis are effective as black-box attacks."

@ DIY
If you aren't into soldering, a local shop ought be able to help you out.
ChipWhisperer-Lite (CW1173) Two-Part Version
@ $325.00 USD
If you'd rather not solder (just how many more hours do you need to work to cover the additional $75?) and just "get to it", this step above the entry level option is a good balance of bang for the buck.
Side-Channel & Glitching Starter Pack (Level 1)
@ $550.00 USD
If you expect to be performing this type of research regularly, you might want to consider this package with a helpful few extras. The extras are available individually also so, you are free to build your test lab as you grow.
SAKURA-X
@ ¥ 370,000 (Roughly $3,500 USD!)
If you've secured Gov't funding, this might be up your ally!
