IoT Penetration Testing Cookbook

Getting ready

To perform MIPS exploitation, we would primarily do it using the QEMU and chroot technique which we glossed over earlier in this chapter. We will look into things such as how to perform buffer overflow exploitation on MIPS binaries and subvert the program execution flow to what we want it to be instead of what the binary is supposed to perform. We won't go into concepts such as Return Oriented Programming (ROP) for now and keep things simple.
