Résumé : Dynamic analysis techniques have proven their effectiveness in security assessment. Nevertheless, it is necessary to be able to execute the code to be analyzed and this is often a challenge for firmware, most of which are deeply integrated into the hardware architecture of embedded systems. Throughout this thesis, we look at the challenges of partial emulation, or hardware-in-the-loop, approaches which aim to enhance the emulation by forwarding accesses to the physical device. We implement through a framework these transfers for a Linux process with its system calls and memory accesses between its emulated environment and its original environment on the physical device. To overcome the challenges of using physical devices for these security tests, we also present a new test platform to reproduce hardware-in-the-loop security experiments.
