Hardware YAML DSL – A Guide To Specifications

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, the configuration and management of hardware profiles are crucial for effective security protocols.

The Hardware YAML DSL (Domain Specific Language) provides a structured format for defining and automating these profiles within security toolkits.

This article delves into the specifics of setting up hardware profiles using YAML, detailing key attributes like name, description, and Bluetooth version requirements.

Whether you’re integrating new hardware or ensuring existing setups are ready for deployment, understanding the YAML DSL is essential.

By the end of this guide, you’ll have a solid foundation in utilizing YAML to streamline your hardware configurations in a security context.

  • name – is a name and a reference to the profile, should be unique. type – str
  • description – short description of the hardware profile, type – str
  • setup_verification – as of now should be set to “” as it is reserved for future use, type – str
  • needs_setup_verification – boolean value defining whether or not the toolkit should verify whether or not the hardware is plugged in or ready to be used (the whole setup verification process is much more complex than a simple boolean value, see LINK) type – bool
  • working_directory – should be set to null or a specific working directory inside the toolkit directory structure of /modules/tools/, which is a default location to run the exploits.
    • The working directory value would be used to change the working directory during the execution and run the exploit from the provided sub-directory. type – str
  • bt_version_min – float value defining the minimum required Bluetooth version that is supported to attack, type – float
  • bt_version_max – float value defining the maximum required Bluetooth version that is supported to attack, type – float
