Hardware Security Testing to Uncover and Mitigate Device Vulnerabilities
Reduce breach and audit risk with hands-on device testing, firmware analysis, and real-world attack simulation
Why Hardware Pentesting Matters?
Hardware compromise yields persistent access, leaked credentials, and audit failures. Pentesting verifies whether physical devices, firmware, and communications can be exploited in live conditions
Prevent Device Exploits
Protect Enterprise Deals
Meet Compliance Requirements
Mitigate Insider Risk and Stolen Hardware
Avoid Costly Recalls and Outages
Software Secured’s Hardware Pentesting
We validate exploitability across device hardware, firmware, and communications using real-world techniques and produce prioritized remediation mapped to impact and compliance
Reconnaissance and Research
Collect datasheets, FCC IDs, manuals, vendor advisories, and CVEs
- Identify high-risk components for focused testing
- Tailor tests to device-specific weaknesses
Firmware and Binary Analysis
Dump and inspect firmware with Binwalk and Ghidra to locate secrets
- Expose embedded secrets for rapid remediation
- Enable secure boot and signed updates
Physical Interface and Component Analysis
Enumerate UART, JTAG, SWD, and flash memory chips for access vectors
- Confirm tamper defenses prevent hardware access
- Validate companion apps can't compromise device
Network and Protocol Testing
Intercept HTTP, MQTT, BLE, RF and proprietary protocols with mitmrouter and Wireshark
- Identify plaintext channels for encryption
- Prove backend isolation limits exposure
Advanced Exploitation and Reporting
Perform fault injection, bypass read-out protections, and attempt reflashing to escalate access
- Prioritize remediation using severity scores
- Provide developers clear fixes and mappings

“I was impressed at how thorough the test plan was, and how "deep" some of the issues were that their testing uncovered. Also, the onboarding process was simple and painless: they were able to articulate exactly what they needed from us, and showed a clear understanding of the product they would be testing during our initial demo”

Frequently Asked Questions
What environments do you need for testing?
We prefer lab or production-like access plus sample devices or development units; physical access, device photos, and firmware accelerate deep coverage and reduce scope time.
Can you test devices without disassembly?
Yes. We scale from remote network and radio analysis to full teardown. Disassembly must be scoped; some tests require board-level access and specific adapters.
Do you need firmware or source code?
Providing unencrypted firmware or unstripped binaries speeds reverse engineering and enables deeper coverage, but we will still test and extract firmware if necessary.
How do you handle device risk of breakage?
We treat devices carefully and ask permission for teardown. Some tests risk bricking units; we require scope confirmation and replacement or acceptance of that risk.
Will results help compliance and audits?
Yes. Findings include repro steps, impact, remediation, and mapping to controls so technical leaders and compliance officers can present audit-ready evidence.
