firmware attacks on embedded systems
Firmware attacks on embedded systems refer to malicious activities or methods that exploit vulnerabilities in the software code (firmware) controlling devices such as smartphones, home automation systems, or industrial machinery. These attacks can manipulate or compromise the firmware, allowing unauthorized access, unauthorized control, or the introduction of harmful commands to the embedded system, potentially leading to data breaches, system malfunctions, or other security threats.
