Hardware Exploitation & Attack Simulation
Simulate Attacks. Strengthen Hardware Defences.
Threat actors increasingly target embedded environments and critical systems. We simulate those threats, testing your defences across hardware, firmware, and software to identify exploitable vulnerabilities and assess your real risk exposure.
Why Traditional Assessments Miss the Mark
As embedded systems, OT, and IoT devices proliferate, they become attractive targets for threat actors. But most security assessments focus on networks and applications—ignoring what lies beneath. Hardware, firmware, and low-level software often remain untested, creating blind spots that can be exploited for persistence, control, or data exfiltration.
Many assessments rely on documentation review or automated scans, failing to simulate real-world tampering, side-channel attacks, or physical access scenarios. In critical environments, this lack of depth leaves organisations vulnerable to risks that traditional tools simply aren’t designed to uncover.
We take a hands-on, threat-informed approach to testing. Our team replicates advanced hardware-level attack vectors using real-world tools and techniques to simulate how adversaries compromise embedded systems. We validate the security of your environment through practical exploitation—delivering clear, actionable insights that help reduce risk and improve resilience where it matters most.
How We Deliver Real Value
End-to-End Attack Simulation
We assess hardware, firmware, and software together, mirroring how threat actors chain vulnerabilities across layers.
Advanced Physical Testing Techniques
From glitching and probing to interface abuse, we simulate real-world hardware tampering scenarios to reveal critical weaknesses.
Threat-Informed Methodology
Our approach reflects the tactics used by sophisticated adversaries, ensuring testing aligns with real-world risk—not theoretical models.
Firmware Exploitation Advisory
We identify vulnerabilities in firmware and advise on mitigation strategies to prevent tampering, reverse engineering, or modification.
ICS, OT, and IoT Focus
Our testing addresses unique risks in industrial, operational, and embedded environments, providing insights tailored to your ecosystem.
Actionable, Contextual Guidance
We translate complex technical findings into clear, prioritised remediation advice aligned with your business and engineering context.

What Our Clients Say
Seeing What Others Don’t
Morrisec’s hardware exploitation and attack simulation services uncover the risks traditional assessments overlook. Our team combines deep technical expertise with real-world testing techniques to simulate how adversaries exploit embedded systems and critical devices. We focus on validating risk through action—not just reviewing documents or running scans.
Whether you’re securing medical devices, ICS systems, or embedded tech in high-assurance environments, we help you identify exploitable paths and deliver practical guidance for closing them. It’s not just about knowing what’s vulnerable—it’s about knowing what matters and how to fix it.
