Firmware & Embedded Systems
Below the operating system, before the software — where most people stop looking.
Most security analysis stops at the operating system. Firmware analysis starts below it.
Embedded systems, IoT devices, network appliances, industrial controllers, hardware security modules — these run firmware that is rarely reviewed, rarely updated, and often full of vulnerabilities that no scanner will ever find because the scanners were not built for that layer.
Our firmware engineers extract, unpack, and analyze firmware images. They identify the operating system underneath, the libraries in use, the services running, the authentication mechanisms in place, and the attack surface exposed. They find hardcoded credentials, unprotected debug interfaces, unsigned update mechanisms, and logic flaws that exist at a layer most engineers never look at.
They work with the full range of embedded architectures — ARM, MIPS, x86, RISC-V — because the architecture is just another variable. The goal is the same regardless: understand completely how it works, find what is wrong with it, and tell you what to do about it. Right now. Not after a lengthy engagement process. Now.
