Firmware is a set of software that takes control of the device's hardware. Analyzing the firmware is a critical step for IoT penetration testing. In order to achieve that, you can use a lot of tools and utilities. One of them is binwalk, which is a great tool developed also by Craig Heffner that helps pentesters to analyze the firmware of an IoT device. You can simply grab it from this GitHub link: https://github.com/ReFirmLabs/binwalk/blob/master/INSTALL.md. Let's run the following commands:
