Release EMBA v1.4.0 - ICS testing Edt. · e-m-b-a/emba

As we do a lot of ICS/OT testing in our daily business, we thought this release should reflect our usual EMBA usage scenario. Welcome to another huge EMBA release with a lot new features: EMBA v1.4.0 - ICS testing Editition

This time we have collected the following highlights for you:

less bugs -> more code -> more bugs? -> report all our bugs here
Extended binary analysis via semgrep (see module s16)
New static perl analysis via zarn (see module s27)
Toolchain identification (see wiki)
Improved update checking (see wiki)
New scan interface (with integrated status bar) automatically enabled in most scan-profiles
Improved multiple backend workflows
Massive speedup of multiple EMBA modules (see #1006 / #996)
Updated docker base image (see wiki)
You can get in contact with us on the following social networks: X / Mastodon / NEW: Bluesky
We can meet in real life at BlackHat Asia this year (see Arsenal schedule)
Special thanks to our awesome community for releasing multiple new articles around EMBA - see our dedicated section in the wiki

Now, start your fresh Kali Linux (put enough CPU power and RAM into it) and install EMBA:

└─$ git clone https://github.com/e-m-b-a/emba.git
└─$ cd emba 
└─$ sudo ./installer.sh -d

This will install all pre-requisites, including the docker base image and the cve database, which will need some bandwith, harddrive space and time.

Afterwards, you are ready to analyse your first firmware with EMBA:

└─$ sudo ./emba -l ~/log -f ~/firmware -p ./scan-profiles/quick-scan.emba

Beside your ongoing support with feedback, testing, working on issues and spreading EMBA you can now also support EMBA as a sponsor.

Check it out here and start being an essential part of the future of EMBA
