Below is a long-form technical blog post that bridges the discussion of defective medical implant devices with cybersecurity techniques used to monitor, scan, and analyze systems for vulnerabilities. In this post we’ll explore how the challenges that doctors face—knowing when a device is defective and dealing with complex legal, ethical, and financial incentives—can be viewed in parallel to detecting vulnerabilities in cybersecurity. We’ll cover the background from beginner topics to advanced scanning and parsing techniques using Bash and Python, real-world examples, and a host of technical details. Enjoy the read!
