Independent firmware security research Direct collaboration with Manish Sharma # Firmware security. Inside the image. Kedloc is my independent practice for software-focused firmware security. Engagements focus on supplied firmware images, selected software components and changes between releases. No hardware testing or full IoT ecosystem assessments. [Discuss your firmware](https://kedloc.com/contact.html) [Explore services and scope](https://kedloc.com/services.html) Firmware engineering teamsProduct-security teamsSecurity consultancies A defined software scope Understand what is in your firmware, where to investigate and what changed. ## Three ways to work together [View service details](https://kedloc.com/services.html) [ ### Firmware image review Examine an accessible image, identify components and review selected configuration. Receive documented observations and priorities. View scope ↗](https://kedloc.com/services.html#firmware) [ ### Focused firmware research Investigate a specific binary, software component or security question within the firmware. Agree the depth before work begins. View scope ↗](https://kedloc.com/services.html#research) [ ### Firmware release review Compare selected components or configuration across supplied releases. Review a proposed fix where the available evidence supports it. View scope ↗](https://kedloc.com/services.html#release) Firmware is a developing specialty within this practice. Initial engagements are assessed against the target, available inputs and demonstrated capabilities. Know what you are commissioning ## A firmware review. A clear boundary. Start with an accessible firmware image or selected software component. A useful result explains the evidence, its significance and what remains unverified. ### Software analysis within the agreed scope Image contents, embedded software, configuration and release changes. The precise checks depend on the supplied material and project question. ### Outside the service No device teardown, physical firmware extraction, hardware interface testing, radio testing or hardware attacks. Kedloc does not provide full IoT ecosystem, cloud, companion-app or network assessments. [See how an engagement works](https://kedloc.com/approach.html) ## Independent work. Direct collaboration. [Meet Manish Sharma](https://kedloc.com/about.html) My background is in exploit development and low-level security research. I’m bringing that foundation to a focused firmware practice under Kedloc, while continuing to build and demonstrate the assessment workflow. You work directly with me. Scope, feasibility, deliverables and fees are agreed before an engagement begins. [Discuss a firmware project](https://kedloc.com/contact.html) Source: [Home](https://kedloc.com/)
