  • Challenges in Firmware Re-Hosting, Emulation, and Analysis
    Challenges in Firmware Re-Hosting, Emulation, and Analysis CHRISTOPHER WRIGHT, Purdue University WILLIAM A. MOEGLEIN, Sandia National Laboratories SAURABH BAGCHI, Purdue University MILIND KULKARNI, Purdue University ABRAHAM A. CLEMENTS, Sandia National Laboratories System emulation and firmware re-hosting have become popular techniques to answer various security and performance related questions, such as, does a firmware contain security vulnerabilities or meet timing requirements when run on a specific hardware platform. While this motivation for emulation and binary analysis has previously been explored and reported, starting to either work or research in the field is difficult. To this end, we provide a comprehensive guide for the practitioner or system emulation researcher. We layout common challenges faced during firmware re-hosting, explaining successive steps and surveying common tools used to overcome these challenges. We provide classification techniques on five different axes, including emulator methods, system type, fidelity, emulator purpose, and control. These classifications and comparison criteria enable the practitioner to determine the appropriate tool for emulation. We use our classifications to categorize popular works in the field and present 28 common challenges faced when creating, emulating and analyzing a system, from obtaining firmwares to post emulation analysis. CCS Concepts: • Computer systems organization → Embedded and cyber-physical systems; Firmware; Embedded hardware; Embedded software; Real-time systems; • Hardware → Simulation and emulation. Additional Key Words and Phrases: Firmware re-hosting, system emulation, embedded systems, emulation fidelity, emulator classification, binary analysis, reverse engineering, emulation challenges ACM Reference Format: Christopher Wright, William A. Moeglein, Saurabh Bagchi, Milind Kulkarni, and Abraham A. Clements. 2020. Challenges in Firmware Re-Hosting, Emulation, and Analysis.
