3 months ago Helium Foundation position on MNTD Hardware Security
The Helium Foundation has reviewed the full pentest report. The scope of work described in the report covers all essential areas of review and the methodology employed by the VDA Labs team appears to match industry standards.
The report indicated that no remote exploits were found as part of the analysis and any local exploits have adequate security measures in place. Findings on other security and risk vectors were also reported to be low or reasonably sufficient for the use-case in question. Overall, VDA Labs did not identify any critical vulnerabilities during the time of testing.
The pentest report is exclusively the work of VDA Labs, produced by agreement with RAK Wireless. The Helium Foundation was not involved in the production of the pentest report and has not conducted its own independent analysis. Nonetheless, the Helium Foundation believes that the quality of the work performed is sufficient to meet the standards of the Helium Network.
