Embedded Device Assessment
Authorized Use Only
Embedded testing can damage hardware or interrupt operations. Confirm explicit authorization, safe handling procedures, and recovery plans before interacting with devices.
Objectives
- Evaluate device security from physical access through runtime operation.
- Identify weaknesses in firmware, interfaces, and update paths.
- Determine practical exploitability and fleet-level impact.
Workflow
- Define test environment:
- Device models, firmware versions, accessories, and network topology
- Recovery procedures, spare hardware, and fail-safe boundaries
- Enumerate interfaces:
- Physical (UART/JTAG/SWD), wireless, network services, companion apps

pt-scanning
Performs authorized security scanning using static, dynamic, and vulnerability-focused methods. Use when mapping exposed services, profiling application behavior, and identifying known weaknesses for validation.
1pt-report-creation
Creates penetration test deliverables for executive and technical audiences, including prioritized findings and remediation plans. Use when drafting, structuring, or finalizing pen test reports from collected evidence.
1pt-fuzzing-web-api
Performs authorized fuzzing of web applications and APIs to discover input validation failures, parser bugs, and stability issues. Use when testing HTTP endpoints, request parameters, payload handling, and error behavior under malformed or unexpected inputs.
1pt-analysis-reporting
Produces penetration test reports with executive summary, technical findings, and remediation guidance. Use when consolidating test evidence, prioritizing risk, and preparing stakeholder-ready deliverables.
1pt-post-exploitation
Performs authorized post-exploitation activities to assess impact, lateral movement paths, credential exposure, and detection gaps after initial compromise. Use when a foothold has been validated and the test requires controlled impact expansion analysis.
1pt-maintaining-access
Evaluates whether an attacker could retain foothold and move laterally after initial compromise, within strict authorization limits. Use when testing persistence, session resilience, and detection/response effectiveness during a pen test.
