Firmware Analysis

Use for firmware image analysis (router/IoT dumps) — binwalk extract, filesystem recovery, light emulation pointers. Authorized hardware/firmware only. Prefer official tool docs from local catalog.

Firmware Analysis

Authorization

Only on firmware/images you own or have written permission to analyze.

Local catalog / mirrors

  • E:\Code\skills\catalog\sources.yamlfirmware
  • Awesome lists under sources/re-security-mirrors\ (related security lists)
  • Tools (install separately): Binwalk, FirmAE, Firmadyne, EMBA — URLs in catalog

Minimal flow

  1. Identify image type (file, entropy, headers)
  2. binwalk -e / signature scan; extract FS
  3. Inventory: busybox, web UI, hardcoded keys, outdated libs
  4. Optional: emulated runtime (FirmAE etc.) only if needed and licensed
  5. Notes + findings; no weaponized exploit delivery by default
