METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND MEDIA FOR INHIBITING ATTACKS ON EMBEDDED DEVICES

摘要

Methods, systems, and media for inhibiting attacks on embedded devices are provided. In some embodiments, a system fur inhibiting on embedded devices is provided, the system comprises a processor that is configured to: identify an embedded device that is configured to provide one or more services to one or more digital processing devices within a communications network; receive a first firmware associated with the embedded device; generate a second firmware that is functionally equivalent to the first firmware by: determining unused code within the first firmware; removing the unused code within the second firmware; and restructuring remaining code portions of the first firmware into memory positions within the second firmware; and inject the second firmware into the embedded device.

1. A system for inhibiting attacks on embedded devices, the system comprising a processor configured to:
identify an embedded device that is configured to provide one or more services to one or more digital processing devices within a communications network; receive a first firmware associated with the embedded device; generate a second firmware that is functionally equivalent to the first firmware by:
determining unused code within the first firmware;removing the unused code within the second firmware to create free memory locations; andusing the free memory locations to restructure remaining program instructions from the first firmware into memory positions within the second firmware and insert at least one defensive payload and at least one policy; and inject the second firmware into the embedded device.
