Internet Census 2012: Port scanning all IPv4 adresses using insecure embedded devices
(internetcensus2012.bitbucket.org)
> [..] In this talk, we present several methods that make *the large scale
security analyses of embedded devices* a feasible task. We implemented
those techniques in a scalable framework that we tested on real world data.
First, we collected a large number of firmware images from Internet
reposi...

If the mentioned bug report (http://dev.exiv2.org/issues/1248) does not work for you, try this text only dump: https://pastebin.com/JQmKEiqJ
Abstract: "Embedded systems are deployed ubiquitously
among various sectors including automotive, medical, robotics
and avionics. As these devices become increasingly connected,
the attack surface also increases tremendously; new mechanisms
must be deployed to defend against more sophisticated a...
