From firmware image
to clear evidence.

A software-focused review of supplied firmware, with the target, checks and deliverable agreed in advance. No hardware testing or full IoT ecosystem assessment.

The engagement, step by step

Start with one accessible image or a specific question about software inside the firmware.

  1. Scope the review.

    Discuss the firmware, version, question and available files. Check feasibility and fit, then agree authorization, handling requirements, checks, deliverables, fee and schedule. The customer supplies the image; physical extraction is outside the service.

  2. Map the contents.

    Identify the supplied image and examine its structure, architecture and accessible contents. Document selected components and configuration. If encryption or an unsupported format prevents analysis, explain the limitation and agree whether suitable inputs can be provided.

  3. Examine the software.

    Review the agreed components, configuration or release changes. Investigate relevant observations and preserve evidence. Any software-based validation depends on feasibility; device behavior and hardware protections are not validated by an offline review.

  4. Explain the evidence.

    Provide a written account of the checks, observations, impact where established and practical next steps. Distinguish verified findings from hypotheses and untested areas. Agree any further firmware research or fix review separately.

A firm scope boundary.

Kedloc provides software-focused firmware work only. Hardware, physical extraction, debug interfaces, radio testing, cloud platforms, companion apps and complete IoT ecosystem testing are outside the service.

Conclusions match the access.

A component version or scanner match is a lead for investigation, not proof of exploitability. An image review cannot establish the security of a whole device or validate hardware-backed protections. Those limits remain explicit in the report.

The intended deliverable

A firmware report
your team can use.

This is the proposed reporting format. Depth depends on the agreed checks and accessible material; this outline is not a completed client report.

Discuss your review
  1. Decision summaryKey observations, priorities and recommended next actions.
  2. Image and scopeSupplied firmware, versions, identifiers and agreed boundaries.
  3. Methods and coverageSoftware checks performed, available inputs and exclusions.
  4. Observations and evidenceSupporting artifacts and a clear distinction between findings and hypotheses.
  5. Impact and remediationImplications and practical improvements where the evidence supports them.
  6. Limitations and follow-upUnverified behavior, access constraints and separately scoped next steps.
