Guides acquiring boot sectors, disassembling MBR/VBR, probing UEFI firmware, and hunting kernel rootkit artifacts to investigate persistent bootkits and rootkits that survive OS reinstallation or Secure Boot tampering.

Performs firmware image examination to uncover embedded malware, backdoors, or unauthorized modifications in routers, IoT units, UEFI/BIOS, and other embedded systems, covering extraction, filesystem inspection, reverse engineering, and bootkit hunting.

Performs comprehensive IoT device security assessments, combining hardware interface testing, firmware extraction, runtime exploitation, and network/cloud/mobile analysis to find vulnerabilities before deployment or for product reviews.

Analyzes PLC firmware to uncover vulnerabilities such as hardcoded credentials, insecure updates, backdoors, memory corruption, and undocumented debug interfaces. Covers extraction from Siemens, Allen-Bradley, and Schneider platforms, static and dynamic inspection, and baseline comparison to detect tampering.

A hands-on methodology for testing IoT and embedded devices, covering hardware reconnaissance, firmware extraction and analysis, bootloader access, runtime exploitation, wireless protocol attacks, companion app review, and cloud API abuse.
