FACT, QEMU, EMUX, Qiling, Firmadyne, FAT, FirmAE, Pandawan, and EMBA were evaluated based on how easy they were to set up and how well they managed to emulate our firmware images. The most effective tool for both analysis and emulation is EMBA.

securefirmware @securefirmware.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

It is f**** awesome to see job posting where EMBA is listed as one of the needed tools :)
