What is embedded device hacking?
Embedded device hacking is the exploiting of vulnerabilities in embedded software to gain control of the device. Attackers have hacked embedded systems to spy on the devices, to take control of them or simply to disable (brick) them.
What is malware and how does it affect embedded systems?
Malware attacks on embedded systems work the same way as with any other system: a hacker deploys a piece of malicious code that tries to intercept the data stored inside the system, take control over the victim system, or harm it. Usually, hackers fake firmware updates, drivers, or security patches to deliver malware.
What are the most widespread software-based attacks on embedded systems?
The most widespread software-based attacks involve: Malware attacks on embedded systems work the same way as with any other system: a hacker deploys a piece of malicious code that tries to intercept the data stored inside the system, take control over the victim system, or harm it.
What skills do you need to become an embedded systems engineer?
Development expertise is required to create embedded software and design hardware with security in mind. Network connectivity and poor access control is common for embedded systems. Physical exposure allows hackers to study a system as long as they need.
