Abstract:
    This project aims to extract the firmware of a given device, then decrypt if the firmware is encrypted. Now do the reverse engineering and find any backdoors.
What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ?
    Most of the electronic devices we use these days are exposed to cyber-attacks due to some kind of vulnerabilities in their firmware, using firmware extraction these attacks can be avoided.
Who needs it ? How many would benefit ?
   Such institutions which have access to sensitive information. IT specialists, Industrialists, Heath care, etc.
How will the solution works
    Use reverse engineering for firmware extraction. Decryption of encrypted firmware. Analyze the decrypted firmware. Find any vulnerabilities in the firmware.
Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different
    Firms that provide vulnerability analysis and their solutions. Mostly work is done on routers, but our work focuses on IP Cameras, Firewall, Smart Watches, and Healthcare devices.
