Vulnerability research¶

Purpose: Safely investigate firmware for security issues.

Sections:

• Static analysis methods

  • Disassembly and inspection of binaries

  • Hardcoded credentials, default settings, protocol misconfigurations

  • Error messages and unusual firmware behaviour

• Lab-only emulation

  • Sandboxed simulation of device firmware

  • Safe experimentation without touching production devices

• Documentation

  • Detailed notes, screenshots, extracted artefacts

  • Unsafe or sensitive items clearly flagged

  • Mapping of vulnerabilities to firmware versions
