Abstract:
Methods, systems, and media for inhibiting attacks on embedded devices are provided. In some embodiments, a system for inhibiting on embedded devices is provided, the system comprises a processor that is configured to: identify an embedded device that is configured to provide one or more services to one or more digital processing devices within a communications network; receive a first firmware associated with the embedded device; generate a second firmware that is functionally equivalent to the first firmware by: determining unused code within the first firmware; removing the unused code within the second firmware; and restructuring remaining code portions of the first firmware into memory positions within the second firmware; and inject the second firmware into the embedded device.
