Enabling the Large-Scale Emulation of Internet of Things Firmware With Heuristic Workarounds

Abstract

To evaluate Internet of Things device security, researchers have attempted to emulate and dynamically analyze firmware. However, this approach cannot deal with complex hardware/environmental diversities. We show that heuristic workarounds can enable firmware emulation and facilitate the discovery of vulnerabilities.
