Overview

An experimental comparison evaluates firmware security analysis performance in cloud services and standalone servers, indicating trade-offs.

Key Points

  • This research aims to compare the performance of EMBA firmware security analysis in cloud and standalone environments.
  • Conducted analysis using EMBA configurations on both standalone personal computer and Microsoft Azure cloud-based machine.
  • Analyzed firmware images of varying sizes to assess execution time and resource utilization.
  • Systematically recorded detected vulnerabilities and execution context during analysis.
  • Scan duration varied with firmware size and execution context, with larger files taking longer in the cloud.
  • A 25.5 MB firmware image took approximately 14 hours on a standalone system compared to over 25 hours in the cloud.
  • For a 30.2 MB image, completion times were about 18 hours locally and 17 hours in the cloud.
  • The type and number of vulnerabilities detected were consistent across both environments.
