CEREBRUM

Turn opaque firmware into actionable security intelligence — in minutes, across every architecture.

CEREBRUM is purpose-built for red teams, product security engineers, and operators of critical infrastructure. Upload firmware or binaries and receive decompiled source, CycloneDX SBOMs, crypto inventories, CVE correlations, exploit proof-of-concepts, and remediation guidance — cross-validated by three independent LLMs.

01 / Overview

IT scanners cannot inspect firmware. Manual reverse engineering does not scale. CEREBRUM automates the kill chain.

Users upload firmware or binaries via UI or API. The system automatically unpacks filesystems, detects CPU architecture, and routes the artifact through a multi-stage pipeline. Headless Ghidra performs decompilation. FindCrypt identifies cryptographic algorithms. Mandiant CAPA maps behaviors to MITRE ATT&CK. Three independent LLMs cross-validate every finding through a consensus engine that acts as the SME verification layer. Deliverables include decompiled source, SBOMs, crypto inventories, CVE correlations, exploit proof-of-concepts, and remediation guidance — with SHA-256 chain-of-custody.

02 / Core Features

Capabilities engineered for operators.

01
Automated Reverse Engineering

Headless Ghidra decompiles stripped binaries, generates control-flow and call graphs, and resolves imports/exports. Weeks of manual RE compress into 2–5 minutes per image.

02
Multi-LLM Consensus Engine

Three independent LLMs cross-validate every finding. Reduces single-model hallucinations and mirrors the SME peer-review requirement in formal RE methodologies.

03
Cryptographic Inventory

FindCrypt identifies every algorithm in scope: AES, DES, RSA, ECDSA, ECDH, SHA family, TLS versions, hardcoded keys and certificates, and custom implementations.

04
Post-Quantum Readiness

Detects CRYSTALS-Kyber, CRYSTALS-Dilithium, SPHINCS+, and FALCON. Identifies quantum-vulnerable algorithms. Generates migration sequencing and cost impact analysis.

05
SBOM Generation

CycloneDX SBOMs for every firmware image. Correlates components to the National Vulnerability Database. Meets Executive Order 14028 mandates.

06
Vulnerability Discovery

AFL++ fuzzing with QEMU instrumentation across emulated targets. Metasploit integration. Automated exploit generation with pwntools produces working proof-of-concepts.

07
Binary Security Assessment

Automated scoring of hardcoded credentials, SUID binaries, world-writable files, and missing NX/PIE/RELRO/stack canaries/ASLR protections across the fleet.

08
AI-Powered Terminal

Real-time binary investigation through natural language. The assistant maintains full context of the artifact under analysis for rapid incident-response triage.

09
Dependency Visualization

Interactive component dependency graphs reveal attack paths, single points of failure, and blast radius across firmware. Hex viewer for low-level inspection.

10
Distributed Agent Architecture

Agents deploy across physically distributed facilities — including disconnected and classified environments. Air-gapped operation is a first-class capability.

03 / Workflow

From ingest to delivery — in minutes.

01
Ingest

Upload firmware images or binary artifacts via web UI, CLI, or API. Supports a wide range of firmware packaging formats and raw binary inputs.

02
Preprocess

Automatic filesystem unpacking, architecture detection, and nested-artifact identification across ARM, MIPS, x86, PowerPC, and RISC-V.

03
Deep Analysis

Ghidra decompilation, CycloneDX SBOM, FindCrypt cryptographic inventory, binary security scoring, and ROP gadget cataloging — in parallel.

04
AI Reasoning

Three-model LLM consensus cross-validates findings. CVSS scoring and Mandiant CAPA / MITRE ATT&CK mapping applied. Analysts accept or override output.

05
Deliverables

Reports, SBOMs, crypto inventories, remediation guidance, and exploit proof-of-concepts generated automatically. Export or integrate via API.

06
Track

Monitor remediation progress. Re-analyze updated firmware to verify fixes. Generate fleet-wide trend reports and SBOM change tracking over time.

04 / Use Cases

Proven across the mission.

01

Firmware Security Assessment

Product security teams receive complete reports — vulnerabilities, hardcoded credentials, weak crypto, and missing binary protections — in minutes instead of weeks.

02

Medical Device Security

FDA pre-market and post-market review. CEREBRUM produces SBOMs, cryptographic inventories, and findings aligned with FDA cybersecurity guidance.

03

Critical Infrastructure Protection

Operators of ICS, utilities, and transportation gain visibility into legacy cryptography, supply-chain components, and weaknesses IT scanners cannot detect.

04

Post-Quantum Migration Planning

Inventory cryptographic algorithms across the device fleet. Score crypto-agility. Produce migration sequencing with cost and operational impact analysis.

05

Supply Chain Risk Management

Acquisition teams generate SBOMs and vulnerability reports for vendor-supplied binaries before procurement and on every subsequent update.

06

Incident Response

Analyze suspect firmware in real time through the AI terminal. SHA-256 chain-of-custody preserves evidence for legal and regulatory review.

07

Red Team Operations

Discover exploitable vulnerabilities in target firmware. Automated exploit generation, AFL++ fuzzing, and QEMU emulation — without physical device access.

08

Vulnerability Research

Accelerate firmware research with automated decompilation, multi-LLM consensus, CVE correlation, and MITRE ATT&CK mapping.

05 / Architectures & Deployment
