EMBA - Open-Source Firmware Security Testing

Presented at DEF CON 30 (2022), Aug. 12, 2022, noon (115 minutes)

Penetration testing of current embedded devices is quite complex as we have to deal with different architectures, optimized operating systems and special protocols. EMBA is an open-source firmware analyzer with the goal to simplify, optimize and automate the complex task of firmware security analysis.

Audience: Offense (penetration testers) and defense (security team and developers).
