Hands On EMUX: Emulating ARM and MIPS IoT Firmware

EMUX (formerly known as ARMX) has been under regular development for over 5 years. The latest release brings MIPS emulation capabilities to the framework, expanding the set of targets that can be emulated. This workshop shall be in two parts:

Part 1 (30 minutes)
- Setting up EMUX in 7 minutes
- A tour of EMUX internals
- Case study of how IoT devices are emulated

Part 2 (90 minutes)
- Emulating an IP Camera from flash firmware
- Firmware extraction hands-on
- Building a emulation compatible kernel from scratch
- Managing the root file system
- Putting it all together in EMUX

Students are expected to bring their laptops with a working Docker instance. EMUX is publicly available as a Docker image on https://github.com/therealsaumil
