Autotomic Binary Reduction (ABR) by Red Balloon Security is an automated embedded security solution that eliminates unused features from binary firmware. ABR optimizes device functioning and memory usage by removing unnecessary code, similar to self-amputation. It serves the dual purpose of hardening firmware by removing extraneous code that could be exploited by attackers and creating space for the injection of security measures like Symbiotes. ABR operates on binaries without requiring source code, making it suitable for proprietary firmware.
