In this talk we will make an overview of security problems that have been found with a large scale automated static analysis (within the firmware.re project [1, 2]) and with a more focused and more manual dynamic analysis (using the Avatar project [4, 5]). We will then discuss what we think we can do about this and how. We argue that to be more trustworthy devices need to be made more transparent (so that users can inspect them), controllable (so that users can do something about it) and resistant to attacks (so that devices will resist to basic attacks).
