Summary

  • Adds 13 new tools spanning binary parsing, disassembly, debugging, fuzzing, emulation, and a brand-new Bluetooth/BLE Security section
  • Fills notable gaps: Frida (dynamic instrumentation), boofuzz (actively maintained protocol fuzzer), Renode (hardware simulation), and Avatar2 (firmware dynamic analysis orchestration)
  • Introduces a Bluetooth and BLE Security section covering nRF Sniffer, GATTacker, BtleJuice, and Bettercap BLE — a major attack surface on IoT devices with no prior coverage

New entries by category

Category Tool(s) Added
Binary Parsing & Analysis LIEF, checksec, firmwalker
Disassemblers/Decompilers RetDec
Debugging Tools probe-rs, Frida
Fuzzing Tools boofuzz
Emulation Tools Renode, Avatar2
New: Bluetooth & BLE Security nRF Sniffer, GATTacker, BtleJuice, Bettercap BLE

Test plan

  • Verify all links resolve correctly
  • Confirm Table of Contents includes the new Bluetooth and BLE Security section
  • Check that descriptions are concise and accurate per contributing guidelines
  • Ensure markdown linting passes (CI badge workflow)

P2 Badge Remove bare-metal support claim for Frida

The Frida entry describes it as usable on "bare-metal targets," but Frida instruments running user-space processes and does not operate on no-OS bare-metal firmware directly. In this awesome-list context, that mismatch can send readers down an unusable path when selecting debugging tooling for MCU firmware analysis, so the description should be narrowed to OS-based targets only.
