Dive into VxWorks Based IoT Device: Debug the Undebugable Device

Presented at Black Hat Asia 2019, March 29, 2019, 9 a.m. (60 minutes).

VxWorks is the industry's leading real-time operating system. It has been widely used in various industry scenarios, which require real-time, deterministic performance and, in many cases, safety and security certifications. There has been a great deal of research on Linux based Router and camera, rarely seen research of VxWorks based device.

Most of VxWorks based IoT devices on the market did't contain any built-in debugger like WDB(VxWorks WDB Debug Agent) or command line debugger. Without debugger it's almost impossible to analyze the root cause of a vulnerability or exploit vulnerabilities.

Our talk introduces how to find vulnerabilities with memory fuzzing and debug VxWorks based IoT Device without built-in debugger.
