+THE INTELLIGENCE BEHIND THE TESTING

Private inference.
Parallel investigation.

Separately hosted models. More attack paths explored at once. Two deliberate choices behind every assessment.

01 / SEPARATELY HOSTED MODELS
PRIVATE TESTING ENVIRONMENTYOUR IPPRIVATE INFERENCEOPEN-SOURCE-DERIVEDFINDINGSCONTROLLED PROCESSING · PRIVATE RESULTS

Your IP stays yours.

We run models derived from open-source foundations in a separately hosted inference environment. Your firmware, source code, and vulnerability findings are kept out of external model-provider APIs and shared-model training.

02 / COORDINATED AGENT SWARMS

More agents. More angles.

Coordinated agent swarms investigate firmware logic, network interfaces, and update mechanisms in parallel. Their results converge in a shared validation workflow, turning potential weaknesses into reproducible findings and actionable fixes.

+FROM SIGNAL TO CERTAINTY

A finding is a start.
A verified fix is
the finish line.

AI agents explore your attack surface. Reproducible test cases establish what’s exploitable. Your engineers get the evidence and guidance to close the loop.

Depth, without the noise.

Prioritize validated vulnerabilities with clear impact and reproduction evidence.

Built for the people writing the fix.

Practical remediation guidance and retesting that fits your engineering workflow.

+GOOD QUESTIONS. CLEAR ANSWERS.

A little more
under the hood.

Wondering how this fits your product?

01What kinds of devices do you test?

Our initial focus is network-connected embedded products built on ESP32 and ESP8266, including smart building controls, commercial sensors, and connected hardware. We confirm platform and interface coverage when we scope your assessment.

02Do you need access to our source code?

Not always. An assessment can start with firmware binaries and an authorized test device. Source access lets us investigate security-critical logic more deeply and provide more specific remediation guidance. We agree on the required access before testing begins.

03Where are our firmware and findings processed?

We use separately hosted models derived from open-source foundations. Assessment inputs and vulnerability findings are processed within that private inference environment, kept out of external model-provider APIs, and excluded from shared-model training.

04How do agent swarms improve testing?

Specialist agents investigate different attack paths concurrently, including firmware logic, network interfaces, and update mechanisms. Their results come together for reproduction and validation, so an agent-generated hypothesis is evaluated before it becomes a confirmed finding.

05What does our engineering team receive?

A prioritized technical report with validated findings, reproduction evidence, and practical remediation guidance. Depending on your scope, we can also help with patches, retest your fixes, and retain reusable regression tests for future releases.

06Can you test each new firmware release?

Yes. Start with a defined device family and firmware release, then establish a repeatable assessment for subsequent builds. Per-release testing checks relevant changes and verifies that previously fixed vulnerabilities stay resolved.

07How is an engagement scoped?

We start with your device, its interfaces, your development stage, and your next release. Together we define the testing boundaries, required access, deliverables, and timeline before any testing begins. Testing is limited to explicitly authorized systems.

+BUILD BOLDLY. SHIP CONFIDENTLY.

OTA-003 HIGH · CWE-347

Unsigned firmware accepted by update handler

Impact
An attacker with access to the scoped update path could install a modified firmware image.
Reproduction
A modified test image is submitted to the authorized test device. The update handler accepts it without validating a trusted signature.
Remediation
Verify the image signature against an authorized signing key before writing to flash. Reject invalid or unsigned images.
Verification
The same modified image is rejected after the fix. The expected signed image is accepted. Retain both cases as regression tests.
