Routersploit
Exploitation Framework for Embedded Devices.
Overview
The Routersploit Framework is an open-source exploitation framework similar to Metasploit but dedicated to embedded devices such as routers, cameras, and other IoT devices. It consists of various modules that aid a penetration testing operation, including exploits, scanners, and payload generators.
✨ Key Features
- Focus on embedded device and IoT vulnerabilities
- Metasploit-like interface and command structure
- Modules for exploits, credential checking (creds), and scanning (scanners)
- Payload generation for various architectures (MIPS, ARM)
- Scanner modules for discovering vulnerable devices
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Niche focus on embedded and IoT devices.
- Easy-to-use, Metasploit-like console.
- Collection of exploits specifically for common IoT products.
Unique Value: Provides a specialized, easy-to-use framework for testing the security of embedded devices, an area often overlooked by general-purpose exploitation tools.
🎯 Use Cases (3)
✅ Best For
- Scanning a network for vulnerable IoT devices.
- Exploiting known vulnerabilities in common router firmwares.
- Brute-forcing default credentials on embedded systems.
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- General purpose server or desktop exploitation.
- Web application security testing.
🏆 Alternatives
While Metasploit has some IoT exploits, Routersploit is entirely dedicated to this domain, offering a more curated and focused set of modules for embedded device testing.
