Analyze IoT/OT device firmware with Microsoft Defender for IoT

SocInABox WaleOlas -Prayas thanks for your comments. Today the firmware analysis feature works with unencrypted images running embedded Linux (any distro). So if a particular vendor / device it built with embedded Linux you should get results. Between the Firmware Analysis feature and its predecessor (ReFirm Labs Binwalk Enterprise) we've seen a wide variety of devices / vendors scanned. Other types of firmware that are bare metal microcontroller code, various flavors of RTOS or Windows IoT are not currently supported.

SocInABox to answer your question RTOS and embedded linux are very different from an analysis point of view. For an example image I suggest searching for OpenWRT downloads; you can look at analysis results of older releases vs. newer. If you have questions / feedback please don't hesitate to reach out.
