"Helping Researchers with IoT Firmware Vulnerability Discovery"

According to John Toterhi, a security researcher at Finite State, making IoT firmware more transparent is the key to strengthening IoT device security. IoT device manufacturers are encouraged to allow their firmware to be public and follow GPL practices. The transparency of IoT firmware would enable the discovery and proper disclosure of vulnerabilities by security researchers as well as the improvement of IoT security. This article continues to discuss the challenges faced in IoT vulnerability research, the difficulty in securing IoT devices, and the problem of code duplication across IoT devices.
