FAT — Firmware Analysis Toolkit

![FAT release]()
Download the latest release · Changelog · Installation

Firmware Analysis Toolkit is a security research toolkit for in firmware security for IoT, Physical AI, Mobile Devices & Robotics. It is primarily built for the "Offensive IoT Exploitation" training conducted by Attify.

It has been built based on actual hands-on field experience of what really matters when it comes to real firmware security in that matter.

FAT's goal is not just to build an exceptional world-class cutting-edge toolkit for Firmware Security Research, but also forge professionals and practitioners who operate at their peak, where the tool becomes a cogniti if used in certain ways, while being easy enough to be used by those who are new to the field.

Some of the features include classifying unknown firmware, extracts filesystems, maps trust-relevant code, traces taint, and coordinating QEMU emulation.

What FAT can analyze

Quick start

Download a binary bundle from Releases, or build the latest regular release with Rust 1.90 or newer:

On Arch Linux or Omarchy, start with the Arch installation steps for prerequisite packages and optional tools.

One-Shot Installer for supported hosts:

See INSTALL.md for installer options and optional tools.

Quick Command Ref.

First contact with an unknown file

fat ./firmware.bin is shorthand for fat identify --file ./firmware.bin.
It gives a compact o of the file's identity and structure.
Add --details for supporting tables.
For raw MCU images, inspect the mapping, startup, interrupts, and hardware:

Both commands support --json for the full structured analysis report.

Image to Runtime

The pipeline from Quick start, end to end:

Binary triage and data flow

Shell script data flow

Stripped binaries

Find sinks statically, then prepare runtime hooks for the same addresses:

Filesystem-wide e sweep

Source-backed in query
