FACT (Firmware Analysis and Comparison Tool) is a self-hosted Python application that automates firmware security analysis for devices like routers, IoT gadgets, UEFI images, webcams, and drones. It provides a web UI and REST API for browsing, searching, and comparing analysis results across firmware samples, with an extensible plugin system.
Use cases
- analyze router firmware for security vulnerabilities
- unpack and inspect IoT device firmware images
- compare two firmware versions to find changes
- scan UEFI images for suspicious components
- search firmware files for hardcoded credentials
- automate firmware analysis via REST API
- browse firmware file trees and analysis results in a web UI
When to choose
- you need automated, repeatable analysis of black-box firmware samples
- you want a web interface with searchable, comparable results across many firmware images
- you need an extensible analysis platform with a plugin system and REST API for integration
- you analyze IoT, router, UEFI, or embedded device firmware for security research
When to avoid
- you only need quick one-off binary string extraction without a full analysis platform
- you require a lightweight CLI-only tool with no web server or database dependencies
- you need a commercially supported product rather than a research prototype
- your target is not firmware or embedded binaries
