Project Summary
Project name | EMBA Firmware Downloader |
Project mission | The mission of this project is to create a fully automated and modularized firmware crawler, that can crawl vendor websites regularly and unsupervised for previously unknown firmware images. The found images are then added to EMBArk, where the vulnerability analysis is executed, logged and visualized. |
Industry partner | Siemens Energy |

Project summary | Our project consisted of two major tasks. 1. Building modules that crawl the different vendors’ website and download the available firmware files and 2. to have a robust framework, which calls the modules and handles the connection to the database and EMBArk. As vendor websites might change their design or their location over time, which might cause errors, we focused on making the framework and the modules as error tolerant as possible. This focus limited the number of vendor modules that were developed. The framework could be finished by the end of the project, as well as some modules, that proof the functionality of the software. Extending the number of modules is a possible future task. |
