Well done to the author. I always found working on more obscure systems to be a lot more entertaining as a hobby and I'd definitely recommend it -- you'll almost never run into the issue of another researcher coming out with something first. Most security researchers seem to shy away from embedded VR due to an unjustified fear of obscure assembly languages and hardware (or perhaps they just realize there's no money in it...), but isn't nearly as hard as anyone thinks.

I expect to see drastically more work into IoT devices once tooling and knowledge sharing gets better. A lot of the articles right now begin and end with binwalk. Great tool but that's just the start.

The only hard part of embedded work is that it's really, really difficult to collaborate with anyone as VR is always filled with incredible drama and the talent pool of individuals willing to work on this (for free) with the prerequisite knowledge is almost non-existent.

Good luck. And thanks for not coming out with another media campaign first and interesting research second.
