Abstract(in English) We propose a method to detect a hardcoded username and password in IoT devices by means of static analysis. Our approach helps to protect from 1st IoT attack risk at OWASP2018 Top10. A hardcoded login information is found by comparing an user input with strcmp or strncmp. Thus, previous work analyzed symbols of strcmp or strncmp to detect a hardcoded login information. However, these works take time because of using complicated algorithms such as symbolic execution. This work proposes a simple and light detection tool that finds a hardcoded login information. We focus on a network function in IoT firmware because IoT device is compromised when it is invaded by someone via the internet. Thus, we analyze string compare functions around a network function. We confirmed that our tool found a hardcoded login information in a backdoor framework.
