firmware-pentest

authentic

Firmware penetration testing following the OWASP FSTM nine-stage flow: extraction, EMBA automation, Firmadyne/QEMU emulation, AFL++ fuzzing, and hands-on exploitation in authorized labs.

When to use

• Assessing device firmware within an authorized engagement.
• Building an emulated environment for repeatable firmware analysis.

When not to use

• Emulation of proprietary kernels often fails; hardware debugging may be required.
• Some extraction paths need physical access (UART/JTAG/SPI).
