Learning objectives

  • Understand the challenges of modifying embedded firmwares.
  • Install and configure Firmware Mod Kit on a Linux environment.
  • Extract, analyze, and modify firmwares from various devices.
  • Automate firmware processing for pentesting or security research.
  • Avoid common pitfalls and adopt best practices for software integrity.

The Learni story

Founded by engineers and learning experts, Learni's mission is to make high-impact tech training accessible to teams everywhere. We work remotely with organizations across the US and Canada, in your time zone, to help teams upskill fast.

Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without this upskilling, your team accumulates a technological gap that translates directly into productivity loss.

  • Organizations that don't train their talents on key topics see their competitiveness drop.

  • Every quarter without training is a gap widening with competitors who invest.

  • The cost of inaction quickly exceeds that of well-targeted training.

Program

Module 1Fundamentals of Embedded Systems and Firmwares

• Introduction to embedded systems and firmwares: typologies, formats, lifecycle • Analysis of common hardware architectures (ARM, MIPS, x86...) • Presentation of the toolchain for firmware analysis • Hands-on with the Linux environment for firmware handling • Installation and configuration of Firmware Mod Kit • Case study: exploration of main firmware file types

Module 2Firmware Extraction and Modification with Firmware Mod Kit

• Detailed presentation of tools integrated in Firmware Mod Kit (unsquashfs, squashfs, binwalk, etc.) • Step-by-step extraction of a real firmware (router or IoT) • Analysis of the extracted filesystem, detection of potential vulnerabilities and backdoors • Modification of configuration, insertion or removal of software modules, customization of boot scripts • Repackaging of the modified firmware without compromising signature or compatibility • Practical exercises: common modifications and automations

Module 3Automation, Security, and Best Practices

• Advanced scripting for firmware modding automation • Case study: preparation for pentesting embedded devices • Risk management during modification (bricking, integrity loss, compatibility) • Security analysis of modified firmwares, testing, and validation • Tips for documenting the process and maintaining traceability • Summary: review of advanced use cases for Firmware Mod Kit • Validation quiz and closing workshop: modification of a complete target firmware

Evaluation method

  • Multiple-choice quiz to verify learning outcomes at the end of the training
  • Continuous evaluation through practical exercises on various firmwares, with work presentations at each step
  • Final workshop: complete autonomous customization of a firmware

Learning method

  • Theoretical presentations supported by step-by-step demonstrations
  • Practical exercises on real firmwares
  • Concrete case studies (IoT, routers, NAS, etc.)
  • Access to firmware images for training
  • Complete course materials (slides, scripts, documentation)

Methods, materials and delivery

The Training: Mastering Embedded Firmware Modification with Firmware Mod Kit program is delivered onsite or remote (blended-learning, virtual classroom, remote presence). At Learni, an industry-certified training organization, every program is built to maximize skills acquisition regardless of the chosen format.

The trainer alternates between demonstrative, interrogative and active methods (through hands-on labs and/or scenarios). This pedagogical approach guarantees concrete learning that's immediately applicable at work.

Equipment required

For the smooth delivery of the Training: Mastering Embedded Firmware Modification with Firmware Mod Kit program, the following equipment is required:

  • Mac or PC computers, high-speed fiber internet, whiteboard or flipchart, projector or interactive touch screen (for remote sessions)
  • Training environments installed on workstations or accessible online
  • Course materials, hands-on exercises and complementary resources
  • Post-training access to materials and educational resources

For intra-company training on a site outside Learni, the client commits to providing all required teaching materials (computers, internet, etc.) for the smooth delivery of the program in line with the prerequisites in the communicated program.

Skills assessment methods

Assessment of skills acquired during the Training: Mastering Embedded Firmware Modification with Firmware Mod Kit program is performed through:

  • During training: case studies, hands-on labs and professional scenarios
  • End of training: self-assessment questionnaire and skills evaluation by the trainer
  • After training: completion certificate detailing acquired skills

Program accessibility

Learni is committed to making its programs accessible. All our programs are accessible to people with disabilities. Our teams are available to adapt the pedagogical methods to your specific needs. Please contact us for any adjustment request.

Enrollment terms and lead times

Registration is possible up to 48 business hours before the start of training. All our programs are built for corporate L&D budgets and delivered onsite or remotely.

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
