POWERFUZZER
Your Firmware Lie Detector
AI-powered no-source firmware assessment with lie detection
Establish compliance, confirm changes, and detect backdoors in
embedded firmware.
Palitronica PowerFuzzer combines AI-powered fuzzing with power side-channel analysis to verify firmware integrity, confirm software changes, and expose anomalies that traditional testing methods miss. Whether you're validating supplier firmware, assessing critical infrastructure devices, or securing embedded products across the supply chain, PowerFuzzer helps you uncover hidden risks, confirm compliance, and build trust in every deployed system.

Learn about
the technology
PowerFuzzer is built on a simple observation:
Computers consume power differently depending on the work they perform.
In this webcast, Sebastian Fischmeister explains the technology behind PowerFuzzer and how it combines AI-powered fuzzing with power side-channel analysis to assess firmware without requiring source code access.
Built for the supply chain
and deep inspection.
Assess firmware throughout the whole electronics spectrum. From microcode deeply embedded in logic-bearing electronics components to complex systems. PowerFuzzer deploys as a bench-top unit with a fully-automated test capability.

Assessing firmware. Use power consumption to detect lies.
PowerFuzzer is a non-destructive, black-box firmware assessment platform that identifies undocumented
functionality, abnormal behavior, and hidden software changes before they become operational or
cybersecurity risks. Using Al and threat feeds to generate custom compliance tests for your target, the
PowerFuzzer also analyzes power consumption patterns to detect irregular processing activity,
unauthorized functionality, and deviations from expected firmware behavior.
No source-code needed.
No IP leakage.
Powerfuzzer doesn't look for known problems—it looks for any difference that matters.
Powered by physics and AI and RF echoes, Anvil Checkpoint catches any physical differences down to the silicon.
What Makes It Broad-Spectrum?
NO NEED TO KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
Don't design and program for every component or possible failure. Anvil trains on known-good units and detects deviations in tested units - even for complex, multi-layered targets.
DETECTS DEFECTS, OVERSIGHTS
AND FRAUD
Any physical difference is caught. Not just manufacturing defects, but oversights and inadvertent BOM changes and even counterfeit or knock-off components.
CATCH DIFFERENCES OTHER TESTS MISS
Latent issues with functional components? Supplier shortcuts with materials? Anvil catches any physical differences.
If it’s different—it’s detected. Even when you don’t know what to look for.
Full AI-powered testing. Grounded in physics.
Anvil Checkpoint adapts to your environment—not the other way around.
Whether you’re testing manually at the bench or automating QA at scale, Anvil Checkpoint meets you where you are with versatile interfacing and deployment options.
No matter your mix or your volume - Anvil Checkpoint fits.
What Makes It Flexible?
Whether you’re testing manually at the bench or automating QA at scale, Anvil Checkpoint meets you where you are with versatile interfacing and deployment options.
MULTIPLE INTERFACE OPTIONS
Unlike other testing methods, Anvil Checkpoint does not need to connect to a specific location or directly near or around the components being tested. It can send its signal through existing connectors or through a simple Bed-of-Nails fixture.
SCALE FIXTURING TO MATCH YOUR MANUFACTURING
Anvil Checkpoint can be implemented as a manual benchtop test station or as a semi-automated carousel.
ONE TOOL, MANY TARGETS
Anvil Checkpoint supports components, assemblies, and modules. Using existing connectors allows you to target multiple products with a single fixture.
Physics-based enhancements.
No Problem.
Anvil Checkpoint doesn't need to know anything about the electronics to know something is different, or if something has changed.
Without requiring any access to designs, schematics, or BOMs, Anvil Checkpoint delivers powerful assurance that your electronics are free from defects, oversights, or fraud.
If it’s different—it’s detected. Even when you don’t know what to look for.
What Makes It Fully Black Box?
Without requiring any access to designs, schematics, or BOMs, Anvil Checkpoint delivers powerful assurance that your electronics are free from defects, oversights, or fraud.
NO DETAILED KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Anvil Checkpoint doesn't need to know anything about your electronics. It learns from known-good units and detects deviations - even for complex, multi-layered targets.
NO IP LEAKAGE
Because Anvil Checkpoint doesn't need access to proprietary information, your sensitive designs stay protected. It keeps your intellectual property secure—no reverse engineering, no data extraction, no risk.
SIMPLIFIED, STREAMLINED DEPLOYMENT
Just connect, train, and test. Whether you're using a standard connector or a bed-of-nails fixture, setup is fast, adaptable, and reusable across products.
PowerFuzzer is your firmware lie detector, using AI and physics to uncover hidden behaviour.
