Introduction


So far, we have covered the basics of what an IoT ecosystem consists of and identifying threats with their respective risks via threat modeling to assist with our testing.

We will roll up our sleeves, so to speak, and discuss how to disassemble firmware, how to analyze firmware contents, its architecture, using common firmware tools, and how to modify firmware for malicious purposes. Similar to other software reverse engineering methodologies, analyzing firmware is definitely an art in itself. You will learn that a number of tools will assist us in looking for common flaws; however, analyzing the security of a firmware binary image is very much a manual process.
