Basic Tutorial on ARM Assembly Language

Basic Tutorial on ARM Assembly Language

This tutorial includes some sample programs that can be debugged hands-on to deepen understanding. To debug ARM programs, we need an environment that can run ARM programs and a debugger that supports the ARM architecture. This tutorial will introduce how to set up an ARM cross-compilation, running, and debugging environment based on the x86 platform … Read more

Design of a Firmware Bluetooth Protocol Vulnerability Mining Framework Based on Virtualization

Design of a Firmware Bluetooth Protocol Vulnerability Mining Framework Based on Virtualization

Abstract:In recent years, the application of Bluetooth devices has become increasingly widespread. If there are vulnerabilities in Bluetooth devices, it may lead to information leakage, economic losses, and other consequences. However, the firmware updates for Bluetooth devices are often delayed, and some cannot even perform hot updates. Currently, there is a relative lack of tools … Read more

Remote Debugging of MIPS Executables with QEMU and IDA

Remote Debugging of MIPS Executables with QEMU and IDA

Introduction Remote debugging with QEMU is quite simple; just enable the -g parameter to bind to a local port. However, IDA requires some configuration to debug MIPS architecture binary files and pause processes for debugging. (There are many online tutorials on how to run IDA in Linux and set up the buildroot environment, or feel … Read more
