Agent-Driven Reverse Engineering of Peripherals Using Claude Opus 5
bibryam · x · 2026-09-01
The author shares their experience using Claude Opus 5 to perform automated reverse engineering on nearby peripherals (microphone, webcam, key light). By providing the agent with firmware and update tools along with clear goals (e.g., reversing update protocols, finding hidden functionality), they achieved a root shell on the microphone, disabled the webcam recording LED, and discovered a memory write vulnerability in the key light.
