Firmware exploitation refers to the process where attackers target and manipulate the low-level software embedded in hardware devices - known as firmware - to gain unauthorized access, control, or persistence on a system. Firmware operates below the operating system and manages hardware functions, making it a critical component for device security. Exploiting firmware can allow attackers to bypass traditional security measures, install persistent malware, or even render devices unusable. Such attacks are challenging to detect and remediate because firmware updates are less frequent and often lack robust security protections. As a result, firmware exploitation poses significant risks to computers, IoT devices, and critical infrastructure.
