The closest you will get to a VM for testing IoT devices. The ARM-X IoT Firmware Emulation Framework is a tried-and-tested framework which has led to four 0-days discovered on SoHo routers, IP cameras and VoIP exchanges. In this talk, I shall cover the evolution of ARM-X, demonstrate a few use cases and discuss future directions of IoT firmware emulation.
