    How to Discover & Handle IoT Firmware Vulnerabilities | Terry Dunlap, Co-Founder & CEO, ReFirm Labs | #IoTFounders E027

    Terry Dunlap, Co-Founder & CEO of ReFirm Labs, explains how his background in offensive cyber operations at the NSA led to the creation of a platform for proactive IoT firmware security. He details the discovery of hard-coded credentials in IoT devices that enabled the Mirai botnet and discusses how low-cost manufacturers often ignore security until faced with legal liability. Dunlap highlights ReFirm Labs' work with telecom providers like AT&T and Charter to vet firmware before deployment, and explores emerging markets like cyber insurance and automotive security, including a demonstration of vulnerabilities in an OBD-II dongle.

    Hardware Security with Matt Brown

    Matt Brown of Brown Find Security discusses hardware security best practices and reverse engineering techniques, using his analysis of a smart charcoal smoker as a primary case study. He explains how unencrypted flash storage and lack of key rotation on an ESP32-based device allowed him to extract private keys and intercept TLS traffic. The conversation covers the importance of threat modeling, the role of secure elements like the ATECC608, and the tools used for firmware dumping and RF analysis.

    Offensive Cybersecurity with Ryan Torvik

    Ryan Torvik, founder and CEO of Tulip Tree Technology, explains the offensive cybersecurity mindset and how it applies to securing embedded systems. He details techniques for extracting and analyzing firmware using tools like IDA Pro and Ghidra, and discusses the importance of designing security from the start, including using standard libraries and secure languages like Rust. Torvik also describes Tulip Tree's emulation technology, which models hardware behavior to allow developers to test firmware and detect vulnerabilities without physical hardware.

    Biggest Firmware Vulnerabilities & How to Fix Them | NetRise's Thomas Pace | Internet of Things Podcast

    Thomas Pace, co-founder and CEO of NetRise, explains how automated firmware analysis provides visibility into extended IoT (XIOT) devices, including industrial control systems and medical devices. He details the process of extracting firmware from embedded Linux and RTOS environments to identify vulnerabilities, weak credentials, and exposed keys. Pace emphasizes the critical importance of generating a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) to enable vulnerability correlation and risk prioritization for both device manufacturers and enterprise customers.

    192: Button Connected To Nothing

    Terry Dunlap, founder and CEO of Tactical Network Solutions, discusses the critical lack of security in Internet of Things (IoT) devices, citing the Mirai botnet, the TrendNet FTC lawsuit, and the St. Jude Medical defibrillator alert as key examples of failure. He explains that common vulnerabilities stem from insecure coding practices, such as buffer overflows and hardcoded keys, often exacerbated by outsourcing firmware development without source code visibility. Dunlap highlights the emergence of standards like UL 2900 and the work of organizations like CableLabs to enforce firmware evaluation, while noting that consumers often remain vulnerable due to poor router configurations and a lack of firmware update support. He advises manufacturers to implement secure coding practices, use source code auditing tools, and encrypt firmware images to reduce the attack surface before devices reach the field.
