Overview

The eCTF Red Team Toolkit is a collection of offensive security tools designed for the 2025 MITRE Embedded Capture The Flag (eCTF) competition. We aim to develop custom exploitation, reverse engineering, fuzzing, and cryptanalysis tools to assess and attack embedded systems in a controlled and ethical manner.

We are a team from Johns Hopkins University (JHU) competing in eCTF 2025, bringing expertise in offensive security, embedded systems, cryptography, and hardware hacking.

Features

✅ Custom Exploits – Tools specifically designed for embedded system attacks.
✅ Firmware Reverse Engineering – Extract and analyze firmware for vulnerabilities.
✅ Side-Channel & Hardware Attacks – Investigate power, timing, and fault injection vulnerabilities.
✅ Secure Boot & Crypto Bypass – Target weak cryptographic implementations.
✅ Automated Fuzzing – Identify security flaws using dynamic input generation.
✅ Attack Automation – Streamline red team operations with scripts and frameworks.
