Speculos
The goal of this project is to emulate Ledger Nano and Ledger Blue apps on standard desktop computers, without any hardware device. More information can be found here:
Usage example: ./speculos.py apps/btc.elf.
Bugs and contributions
Feel free to open issues and create pull requests on this GitHub repository.
Please ensure that tests still pass.
Limitations
The emulator handles only a few syscalls made by common apps; for instance, syscalls related to app install, firmware update or OS info can't be implemented.
There is absolutely no guarantee that apps will have the same behavior on hardware devices and Speculos.
Security
Apps can make arbitrary Linux system calls (and use QEMU semihosting features), thus don't run Speculos on untrusted apps.
It's worth noting that the syscall implementation (src/) doesn't expect
malicious input. By the way, in Speculos, there is no privilege separation
between the app and the syscalls. This doesn't reflect the security of the
firmware on hardware devices where app and OS isolation is enforced.
Speculos is not part of Ledger bug bounty program.
