Fuzzware - Automating & Scaling Fuzzing For Firmware

Explore the challenges and solutions in automated firmware testing with this conference talk on Fuzzware, a project designed to enable scalable fuzz testing for deeply embedded firmware. Learn how Tobias Scharnowski and Marius Muench tackle the complexities of analyzing device-specific software on proprietary hardware platforms. Discover their innovative approach combining program analysis and emulation to test firmware independently of its hardware. Gain insights into the vulnerabilities they uncovered in popular embedded network stacks and understand the potential impact of this open-source tool on the security analysis community. Delve into the speakers' expertise in embedded systems security, binary exploitation, and CTF competitions as they present their quest to automate and scale firmware analysis without the need for physical devices.
