Q: What does the “target type” column mean?

The types are adopted from the paper “What You Corrupt Is Not What You Crash: Challenges in Fuzzing Embedded Devices”, which categorizes embedded devices and firmware based on the deployed operating system.

In short, the different system types are:

Type 0: Not an embedded system
Type 1: System based on a general purpose OS retrofitted for embedded application
Type 2: System with operating system specifically created for embedded targets
Type 3: System with no operating system abstraction at all, running “bare-metal” firmware

Q: How do I add a new rehosting system?

First, fork and clone our repository:

$ git clone git@github.com:[your_github_user_name]/rehosting.github.io.git
$ cd rehosting.github.io

Afterwards, copy the template.yml file into the the _data directory, using the system name as destination name:

$ cp assets/template.yml _data/awesome_new_system.yml

Now edit the new .yml file to your liking; | denotes options from which you will have to choose. Once done, you can test if everything renders correctly locally (requires a local installation of ruby and Bundler):

$ bundle install
$ bundle exec jekyll serve

Now, if everything succeeded, you should be able to see your local copy of this website at http://127.0.0.1:4000/. If everything is to your liking, push your updates and send us your pull request!
