Introduction to IoT Reverse Engineering

Explore the process of IoT firmware reverse engineering in this 40-minute conference talk from Hack in Paris. Delve into a practical example of analyzing a home router, covering information gathering on hardware and software components, building an emulation environment using QEMU, and applying techniques to analyze, hack, and modify firmware. Learn to identify device components, locate interfaces, use hardware and software tools, and set up an emulation environment with Buildroot. Discover methods for overcoming manufacturer obstacles, running and debugging binaries, and analyzing device functionality. Gain insights into finding vulnerabilities, hacking systems, and creating a Firmware Modification Kit to streamline the firmware modification process.
