There is a growing interest of IoT manufacturers to incorporate firmware analysis tools in their development pipeline to evaluate the security of new embedded devices. This has the advantage of discovering security issues before the device is marketed. However, each device has its own design, including different architectures, services and communication protocols, programmed and configured in different programming languages. This diversity results in potentially complete categories of vulnerabilities discarded by the firmware security analysis tools. Hence, a positive outcome of such tools may result in incorrect conclusions.
