FirmPilot: Evidence-Guided Multi-Agent Environment Recovery for IoT Firmware Rehosting
FirmPilot reconstructs QEMU execution environments through coordinated retrieval, planning, filesystem, persistent-state and network recovery. Proposed changes are applied as constrained artifact deltas, then checked by rerunning the firmware and fixed probes.
Scope and limitations
The main denominator is 10,033 obtainable LFwC images, not all 10,913 metadata records. Reachability under a 2,400-second budget is not whole-device equivalence; HTTP success can include redirects or authentication gates. Reported results use one LLM backend and fixed probes.
Why it fits this collection
Uses execution evidence to recover the missing environment needed to inspect firmware behavior.
