I'm confused, finding Valerio on KZread giving so much of himself, so much experience, and cross discipline information that some of us find quite challenging and yet here they are in a few videos, how? I've never seen such generosity from anyone like this before. Not even my professors during my academic years have I received from them such valuable information, not in electrical, electronics, RF and comms. I've done some embedded work but nothing this sophisticated. I feel like my whole life was wasted, this video gave me meaning. I was asleep but now I'm awake. Thank you friend Valerio.

Valerio: These videos are fantastic! Great content, excellent video production, and the Italian accent makes it even better! Many thanks!

I used to work with embedded developers.... I heard about all these things from them.... but this intro has done a much better job of helping me REALLY understand.... this is great stuff.

I've seen many tutorials but none have been as good as this series. Your explanation leaves absolutely no questions.

These tutorials are a god send. I've wanted to get into hardware/software hacking for a while but had no idea where to start. I've learned so much by watching your videos, and my own trial and error. Its really nice that you gave us novice hackers a blueprint. Thanks, I really appreciate it. Please have a good day..

Thank you so much for this, emulating arm systems / consoles to root and release mods has been a topic I wanted to learn for awhile now

You are Amazing, Valerio!!! Congrats on making this concise, didactic and useful material for us, I have 100% certain that a lot of people that don't comment on this series have the same feeling that I'm feeling right now. I'm Brazilian and I'm not confident about my English speaking as well but I can understand you perfectly, You're amazing!!!

Fala man! Vi que vc é brasileiro e queria saber se vc assistiu a série toda, sabe me dizer oq de tão útil pode ser feito hackeando um roteador? Da pra usar ele como um arduíno ou como um mini Pc? Abc!

Once more, an excellent presentation! Can't wait for the next video!

Hi Μανούσος Πουλινάκης, thank you again for your continued support!

Dude you’re frighteningly intelligent - the English is excellent and makes the videos very friendly. (I’m English)

Like the others, I’m a few videos in your series so far, an am enjoying it and finding very helpful. After you mentioned it, I will admit my very first impression was that the accenting was a little heavy, but as I listened further, I always know exactly what you’re saying and so far have had no trouble at all. I’m subscribed and look forward to you content

Thank you so much for these. Who says you can't learn anything in quarantine??? Sincerely, you are appreciated for the whole series.

Hello murrij, thank you for your appreciation and support.

Very thoruugh coverage of topics. Great stuff.

Now this... is very interesting. :) I did not expect this much detail at NAND emulation.

Thank you! Great video series!

G'day Valerio, great video instruction, I became curious about UART as it is something I have never had to get involved in, even though I have had my own Electrical / Electronics / Comms business for nearly 50 years, I was recently ask by a couple of young blokes for some assistance with it & I couldn't so i decided to catch up; I'll have to repeat the videos a few times to get a true grasp of it, but it's not because of your english, it's because i'm 75 Anni; by the way, in Australia as a young bloke I studied studied Italian at College, loved it & always remember Father Briffa, the teacher, telling us to "Roll your "R's" ! , your accent is very similar to his & therefore "Very Italian" Thanks a lot & best of luck

I’m so glad you identified as Italian in this video, is been trying to localize your dialect. At first, when I was passing very little attention and It was just going in the background, my first guess was Russian/Eastern Bloc area, then by like you 3rd video I head some patterns sounding Dutch or German… I was just about to pay attention and try to guess for real and you gave the answer away at the same time lol.

Incredible content. You're a master on this topic and an incredible teacher. I hope you release more videos on this topic.

This channel is a gem! Glad I found it.

If you come to the Basque Country, there's a beer waiting...

Excellent videos. I'm really enjoying them. Thank you !

Your videos have a lot of value !!! Thanks

Hello Really great job and really great exeriance. BTW your english is goog and the speed of talking make it really easy to follow and understand. keep going and good luck.

Enlightening and enjoyable experience... this teaches a lot to start understanding how to get into chinese surveillance cameras. No, no your english isn't an obstacle... keep it going!!!

Great job. Like your passion and great knowladge which you are willing to share. Thank you very much!

Thanks a lot, great video

24:41 That exists? Mind blowing. I am new to this kind of thing and the concept of what you are describing sounds so powerful it's like a deus ex machina

Love it... Thanks again

You are fantastic. Thank you for sharing.

At my old job, I think they used to make custom QEMU board files from time to time.... I wonder if this is simple or too complex. I never understood why "mipsel" not "mipsle" ... now I know!!

great video, thank you!

Hi Valerio Your Videos are so helpful and rich with important information thanks a lot. It will be great full if you do some practice of RE on some old mcu like Motorola, 8051, Fujitsu, Hitachi, ... on popular devices different than routers like automotive ECU, vending machine, coin changer ...Again thanks a lot and happy RE with beautiful Italian accent.

THIS IS THE BEST CHANNEL EVER

Thank you very much for this series of videos you recorded. I learned a lot from them. I am a novice in QEMU. The found usage of -serial is to redirect the output information to the host for display. I would like to know whether QEMU can communicate with the USB device serial port of the host in the QEMU simulation firmware solution?

Magnific !!

Please make more videos , thanks 🙏

wow... high info level....

Great Video :)

Fantastic video

7:07 - thanks and i never knew that - in fact i didnt know what who invented the little endian architecture :) - probably somebody that was hoping that the machine word and registers will grow longer and longer A, AX , EAX, RAX! SIMD-somthing-A register :)

I've recently got a router with the serial port and JTAG clearly labelled but no easy Open WRT support.... I'm really keen to try "all of this".

Do yourself a favor and put the Playback speed at 1.25 ;) Great content btw (y)

great

great video

can you please make more videos on qemu which explains what is qemu and how it is used in pc virtualization? thanks in advance

WOW mind blown

Mr Valerio please do more video for beginner.

Most underrated channel. You're videos are simply amazing

can i use it to run old cellphone firmwares like nokia s30

Can you help me to know how to modify this firmware or img of an ont because I want to save that so that even if it resets, it will save the configuration that I loaded.

Do it support emulation of IBM PALM processor?

👍

Could I use this to run uefi firmware. Ive ran old bioses on qemu before but I want to know if its possiable with uefi firmware

Good video! Would be great if you could share all the scripts and image for download so people play around quickly

Hello MarKac, thank you for your appreciation and your suggestion. You can download the kernel, the root file system image, and the "qr.sh" script, to start QEMU, from: uk2.digiampietro.com/hht/makemehack-linux4mips.tar.gz (i added this link also in the description). Inside the image there is the nandsim related script to emulate the NAND EEPROM. I wasn't able, for copyright reasons, to add the actual firmware of the device in the image; anyway, the image is fully functional.

I'm interested in learning the Stm32 microcontroller, and was surprised to find that there is no official tool / plugin for their Stm32 IDE that allows you to simulate a processor (ex. Stm32H743) without actual target hardware to download to! I'm just interested in stepping thru the code, and seeing how registers react. I understand there are (expensive) commercial solutions (Keil / proteus ), but this QEMU looks promising.. but seems like learning linux is needed first?

Qemu is available for Windows or MacOS also. You can try the Windows or Mac version.

how to emulate running esp32 using qemu at windows command line

Hi Valerio, I want to do a P2V migration where a windows 11 system is to be converted to a virtual machine which will be hosted on a different windows system with different set of hardware. Now the catch is the Virtual machine should think its on the exact same hardware as in the physical system. It should show exact same information in system information as in the physical system. If we do a 'wmic bios get serialnumber' the result should be same on both systems. Not looking for any registry hacks like changing string values in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\BIOS .vmx editing will have limited scope, as i need to emulate the processor motherboard everything I tried editing the vmware bios rom file there also limited strings can be changed like mothorboad version vendor etc. How do i emulate the gpu harddisk vendor etc? looking for some sort of hardware emulation/virtualization. I am not expecting same hardware capability just that the OS should 'think' its on the same hardware. if we go under device manager disk drives/mouse it should not show vmware or virtual box, rather show the name of the disk/mouse as in the physical system. again this should not be some registry string modification, rather the OS should 'think' its on the simulated hardware Possible?

Are you available help for iot?

If you could do a beginner Tutorial on STm32 , i will change my patreon from another to you. - Thank you

How to choose between qemu-mipsel and qemu-mipsel-static?

@MakeMeHack

4 жыл бұрын

Hi 乔嬿晖, thank you for your question. qemu-mipsel-static is usually used with a chroot command. For example, you can extract the root file system of your device in /home/username/device-root, then copy qemu-mipsel-static in this directory, and then you can execute something similar to "sudo chroot /home/username/device-root /qemu-mipsel-static bin/cat /etc/os-release" also without using the "-L" option. With "chroot" you have to use the static version of Qemu, because, otherwise, it will not be able to find the dynamic linker and the other libraries that are not available in the new root. The result is very similar to using the "-L" option with the non-static version of Qemu, and, in this case you don't need to be root because you don't need "chroot" that requires root privileges. Sometimes if, in the new root, you have links that point to an absolute path, you cannot execute them in qemu-mipsel but you can execute them in qemu-mipsel-static; below one of this example: valerio@ubuntu-hp:squashfs-root$ ls -l bin/sh lrwxrwxrwx 1 valerio valerio 12 gen 22 2016 bin/sh -> /bin/busybox* valerio@ubuntu-hp:squashfs-root$ qemu-mipsel -L . bin/sh bin/sh: Invalid ELF image for this architecture valerio@ubuntu-hp:squashfs-root$ sudo chroot . /qemu-mipsel-static bin/sh bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off valerio@ubuntu-hp:$ pwd / With qemu-mipsel, bin/sh points to /bin/busybox, that exists also in my Ubuntu machine, but it is for the x64 architecture, and qemu-mipsel gives the error. With chroot and qemu-mipsel-static, /bin/busybox is the busybox in the new root, so the busybox of our device and it is executed normally. We have some issues because the /dev dir in the new root does not contain our devices, like tty devices, we could overcome this with something similar to "sudo mount --bind /dev `pwd`/dev" to be executed int he new root, before chroot. In general, I prefer to use, whenever possible, "qemu-mipsel" with the "-L" option.

Some of those qemu options are deprecated. Like -net. Now it's -netdev.

Hello amlamarra, thank you for comment, you're right, the "-net" is a legacy option than can be replaced with "-netdev" and "-device" and the "-nic" option. Anyway, the QEMU version available in the Ubuntu repository for Ubuntu 18.04 is quite old (2.11.1), doesn't support the new "-nic" option and, for an unknown reason, the "-netdev" option, wasn't functioning with ipv6; for this reason, I used the "-net" legacy option.

вот бы русские субтитры..

Well as interesting as this video may be, I had to focus so much on what you were saying it was really hard to follow. Sorry.
