IoT and embedded device security testing methodology. Covers hardware reconnaissance (UART, JTAG, SWD, SPI flash, I2C EEPROM, eMMC chip-off), firmware acquisition (vendor portals, OTA capture, flash dump, binwalk extraction), firmware analysis (filesystem mounting, binary triage, hardcoded secrets, default credential discovery), bootloader attacks (U-Boot console, secure-boot bypass, fault injection), runtime attacks on embedded Linux/RTOS (busybox CVEs, MTD writes, /dev/mem), wireless…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# IoT & Embedded — Offensive Testing Methodology ## Quick Workflow 1. **Recon the device physically** — identify SoC, flash, debug interfaces, radios 2. **Get the firmware** — vendor download, OTA capture, hardware dump, or chip-off 3. **Unpack and analyze** — filesystems, services, secrets, default creds, vuln components 4. **Establish runtime access** — UART shell, telnet/SSH default creds, exploit chain 5. **Pivot** — to companion app, cloud API, neighboring devices via mesh / wireless --- ## Hardware Reconnaissance ### PCB Inspection - ID the **SoC** by markings (Realtek, Mediatek, Espressif, Broadcom, Allwinner, NXP, STM32, etc.) - ID **flash** (8-pin SOIC = SPI NOR; BGA = eMMC; TSOP = NAND) - Find **debug headers**: TX/RX/GND/VCC pads (UART), 4–10 pin (JTAG), 4 pin (SWD) - Find test points labeled `TX`, `RX`, `TCK`, `TMS`, `TDO`, `TDI`, `RST`, `BOOT` ### Tools | Tool | Use | |------|-----| | Multimeter | Identify GND, VCC rails before connecting | | Logic analyzer (Saleae, DSLogic) | Find UART baud, SPI clock, identify protocols | | USB-UART (FT232, CP2102) | UART console | | Bus Pirate / Glasgow | UART, SPI, I2C, JTAG generic | …

How to install
mdr add miosa-osa/osa/offensive-iot@sha256:294569f39ee1d172The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260913.e13b6b8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
