Setting up FirmWire for vulnerability validation

Now, we will proceed with setting up the harness for the FirmWire emulator, which emulates the CP (baseband processor) of a Samsung device. The setup instructions, as taken from the web page, are straightforward:

$ sudo apt-get -y install docker docker.io
$ git clone https://github.com/FirmWire/FirmWire.git
$ cd FirmWire
#fix for afl crash
$ sudo su
# this command must be run as root
$ echo core >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
# we go out from the root command line
$ exit
$ git clone https://github.com/FirmWire/panda.git
# This will take some time
docker build -t firmwire .
# Now enter the docker with
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/firmwire firmwire

The following command will start QEMU+Avatar2 with the Samsung Exynos baseband. It will also directly download the modem binary:

# Within the container you can run the firmware like this
$ ./firmwire.py https://github.com/grant-h/ShannonFirmware/raw/master/modem_files/CP_G973FXXU3ASG8_CP13372649_CL16487963_QB24948473_REV01_user_low_ship...
