Firmware Dynamic Analysis & Emulation

Run extracted firmware in controlled environments for dynamic analysis, debugging, and vulnerability testing. This skill provides comprehensive workflows for both automated and manual emulation approaches.

Emulation Strategy Decision Tree

Before starting emulation, determine the best approach:

Use AUTOMATED (Firmadyne/FirmAE) when:

• Analyzing multiple router/IoT firmware images quickly
• Need quick initial assessment
• Firmware is Linux-based embedded system
• You want network services automatically configured
• Time-constrained analysis
