What we look for
Hardware and firmware flaws
we hunt for
Connected devices expose attack surfaces most security programs never see. We test at the firmware, interface, and physical layers to find the flaws before they reach the field.
Firmware Weaknesses
Extractable or poorly protected firmware that reveals keys, credentials, and device logic.
We test for
- Firmware extraction and analysis
- Hardcoded secrets and keys
- Insecure update mechanisms
- Signature and integrity checks
Debug & Physical Interfaces
Exposed ports that give an attacker direct access to the device internals.
We test for
- UART, JTAG, and SWD access
- SPI and I2C flash readout
- Boot process manipulation
- Console and debug shells
Wireless & Radio Protocols
Insecure communication an attacker can intercept, replay, or spoof.
We test for
- BLE, Wi-Fi, and RF review
- Replay and relay attacks
- Weak or absent encryption
- Pairing and authentication flaws
Physical & Side-Channel
Tamper and analysis attacks against the physical hardware itself.
We test for
- Tamper resistance review
- Chip-off and fault injection
- Side-channel leakage
- Secure element usage
How it works

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What teams most often ask before
scoping hardware penetration testing.
01What kinds of devices do you test?
We test IoT, embedded, medical, automotive, and operational technology hardware, covering the firmware, debug interfaces, wireless protocols, physical layer, and any companion apps or APIs.
02Do you need physical access to the device?
Yes. Hardware testing involves hands-on work with the device, so we agree how units are shipped or accessed during scoping. Companion applications and cloud services can also be tested remotely.
03How long does a hardware penetration test take?
Timelines depend on the device complexity and the number of interfaces, but most engagements run one to a few weeks, followed by reporting and a complimentary retest.
