Everything you need to secure firmware

From upload to detailed report — FirmShield covers every angle of firmware security analysis with 12 sequential analysis steps.

CVE Detection

Extracts component versions and queries the NVD API in real-time to match known CVEs against BusyBox, OpenSSL, OpenSSH, curl, and 10+ more libraries.

NVD API

Hardcoded Secrets

Detects hardcoded passwords, private RSA/EC keys, API tokens, database credentials, and URLs with embedded auth — all via pattern-based string analysis.

High Priority

SBOM Generation

Automatically builds a Software Bill of Materials by scanning package databases (opkg, dpkg, rpm) and binary strings — with vulnerability cross-referencing.

SBOM Ready

Attack Surface Mapping

Identifies exposed network services (Telnet, FTP, SNMP, UPnP, MQTT), inetd/xinetd config, init scripts, and listening daemons that expand the attack surface.

Network Scan

Firmware Comparison

Compare any two firmware versions side-by-side — track new and fixed vulnerabilities, changed component versions, and the risk score delta.

Version Diff

Bilingual PDF Reports

Professional security reports exported in both Arabic and English using Cairo font — with risk score, vulnerability breakdown, remediation steps, and CVSS scoring.

How It Works

12-step deep analysis in minutes

FirmShield's scan engine runs a comprehensive pipeline — from binary identification and filesystem extraction to CVE matching, ELF hardening checks, and report generation.

Automatic filesystem extraction (SQUASHFS, JFFS2, EXT4, CRAMFS)
NX, PIE, RELRO, Stack Canary checks on all ELF binaries
Entropy analysis to detect encrypted or obfuscated sections
Real-time NVD API queries for component CVEs
Email notification + PDF download when scan completes

Process

From upload to report in 4 steps

No complex setup, no CLI required. Upload your firmware file and get actionable security insights in minutes.

01

Upload Firmware

Upload any firmware file — .bin, .img, .elf, .tar.gz, .zip, .fwp. Up to 500MB supported.

02

Auto Extraction

FirmShield extracts the filesystem, detects architecture and OS, and maps the complete file tree.

03

Deep Scan

12 analysis steps run sequentially — CVEs, credentials, backdoors, ELF hardening, attack surface, crypto, and more.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What firmware formats does FirmShield support?
FirmShield supports .bin, .hex, .img, .elf, .fw, .fwp, .zip, .gz, .tar, .bz2, and .xz formats — covering virtually all embedded/IoT firmware packaging formats.
How long does a scan take?
Most scans complete in 3–7 minutes depending on firmware size and complexity. Real-time progress updates are shown via WebSocket — no need to refresh the page.
Is my firmware data secure?
Firmware files are stored on isolated servers and are deleted after processing. Each file is namespaced with a UUID prefix. Database credentials and secrets are managed via environment variables, never hardcoded.
Can I pay in Algerian Dinar (DZD)?
Yes! FirmShield supports both Stripe (international cards) and Chargily (Algerian payment gateway with DZD). Starter plan is 4,900 DZD/month and Business is 14,900 DZD/month.
Does FirmShield work on encrypted firmware?
FirmShield attempts several decryption strategies including XOR (common keys), AES-CBC (header-derived), and binwalk extraction. For fully encrypted firmware, it performs string-level analysis on the raw binary and reports entropy metrics.
Can my team collaborate on scans?
Yes. Starter plan includes up to 5 team members and Business supports unlimited members. Invite members by email, assign roles (admin/viewer), and share scan results and reports across your organization.
