The original Firmadyne/FirmAE kernel that was used in our emulation engine was version 4.1.17 and is from Jan-2016

I just realized that @heisec.bsky.social has written a nice article about some vulnerabilities we reported to Siemens in the Sentron PAC1260 device. Check it out here www.heise.de/en/news/Root...
Root vulnerabilities in Siemens Sentron 7KT PAC1260 Data Manager remain open
Because support for a Siemens multi-channel current meter has expired, there are no more security updates.

Automatically password cracking with EMBA in action for a real world vulnerability in Edimax firmware
CVE-2024-57040 could apply to MANY IoT devices as passwords for root-level accounts are not difficult to discover and crack. The Edimax IC-7100 (recently in the news) has hashes that were cracked automatically by EMBA. The IC-7100 default creds are also in the docs, do we need CVEs for these?

Free tip of the week: You need to verify every component that your SBOM tool is so proud to show you. Ensure your SBOM tooling is not fooling you :-D
