Extracting Firmware from 360 Router Using UART Debugging

During the process of vulnerability exploitation for smart devices, firmware extraction is the first step in analysis and the first step towards success. In previous analyses, the firmware was stored in TSOP8 package NOR flash, which could be extracted directly using a chip clip or by soldering the flash chip for extraction, followed by using … Read more
