A team at a robot cybersecurity startup has released a free, open-source tool for information security professionals to help them easily 'footprint' and detect unprotected robots, not only connected to the Internet, but also to the industrial environments where they operate.

Dubbed "Aztarna," the framework has been developed by Alias Robotics, a Spanish cybersecurity firm focused on robots and is capable of detecting vulnerable industrial routers and robots powered by ROS (Robot Operating System), SROS (Secure ROS) and other robot technologies.

Alias Robotics researchers have also released a research paper [PDF] detailing Aztarna, how it can be reproduced and how it allows for future extensions. You can head on to the paper to know more about the open source footprinting tool for robots.
