Abstract: In the process of vulnerability detection, because of the limited physical device and closed operating system, we cant confirm and utilize the bug discovered by Fuzzing test in time. So this paper concentrated on embedded firmware and proposed a firmware vulnerability analysis and utilization method based on stain tracking. The method uses dynamic analysis technique in the simulation environment. With the help of this method, we could rapidly locate the exception position and trace back to the origin, then its possible to assess the corresponding solution rapidly. Furthermore, we did experiments on many devices such as router and IP camera and successfully utilized many 0day bugs on ARM and MIPS architecture. According to the results, the firmware vulnerability analysis and utilization method based on device simulation debugging is referable to vulnerability positioning and utilization of embedded firmware.

Key words: equipment simulation, vulnerability positioning, dynamic analysis, stain tracking
