Introduction
MACOBOX is the world's first all-in-one solution for hardware auditing and firmware vulnerability analysis. Typically firmware extraction, analysis and vulnerability testing require multiple steps across a variety of different tools: power supplies, level-shifters, interface-dependant devices and specialised connectors. Even when connected, firmware extraction requires an intimate knowledge of chipsets and manufactures. Finally, when firmware is extracted, analysis and vulnerability testing requires multiple tools and custom code.
The MACOBOX changes everything: it incorporates the entire hardware penetration testing life-cycle: from connection, firmware extraction - and automated firmware vulnerability analysis. Every step is streamlined and automated - vastly accelerating the onerous steps, allowing penetration testers to create rapid, repeatable workflows with just one tool.
The MACOBOX is not just useful - for professional hardware audit, penetration testing and security firms - it's essential.
