The ever-increasing security threats to our digital infrastructure im- pose the training of a sufficient number of engineers on real-world equipment and attacks. A significant investment in equipment is often needed to teach hardware security. Additionally, the global COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated that online-accessible educational systems are crucial to the continuity of the teaching process. In this work, we describe our experiment with teaching hardware security using a centralized shared setup that can be accessed remotely by students. Our setup reduces the cost and makes teaching such advanced topics more accessible while keeping the benefits of using real hardware to gain practical experience.
