Hexagon Fuzz

Welcome to the Hexagon baseband fuzzing project! This project focuses on fuzzing baseband firmware, specifically targeting Qualcomm Hexagon processors, to uncover vulnerabilities and improve the security of mobile devices. Below, you'll find a guide to get started, set up your environment, and dive into the exciting world of baseband fuzzing.

Quick Start

To directly kickstart with fuzzing, follow the steps in readme.md

Getting the baseband firmware

The iPhone firmware can be downloaded freely, which contains the Qualcomm Hexagon baseband firmware. The iOS Firmware and Extraction guide follows through the steps for downloading and extracting the baseband firmware.

Getting the tools required for the project

The Qualcomm tools such as QXDM and HEXAGON specific tools are helpful in debugging the firmware, capturing logs. The guide Toolchains and Setup goes through these steps along with some helpful manuals from Qualcomm.

Getting started with fuzzing

To begin your journey into using the project, follow the steps in Getting Started. The guide helps to setup the fuzzer and using tmux session.

Reversing the baseband firmware

Ghidra is a freely available tool for reverse engineering and it also supports a plugin for hexagon firmware. Reversing can be helpful to identify functions that can be targeted for fuzzing and understanding the overall code flow. The guide Reverse Engineering using Ghidra explains the steps for setting up Ghidra.

Emulating the baseband firmware

Another approach to communicate with the baseband firmware is to emulate using QEMU and debug the flow. The guide Emulation and Debugging walks through the steps required to setup the qemu-hexagon and running the emulation.
