IoT Penetration Testing (SEC556)

SEC556 facilitates examining the entire IoT ecosystem, helping you build the vital skills needed to identify, assess, and exploit basic and complex security mechanisms in IoT devices. This course gives you tools and hands-on techniques necessary to evaluate the ever-expanding IoT attack surface.

A growing trend in recent years has seen small-form factor computing devices increasingly accessing networks to provide connectivity to what typically used to be disconnected devices.

While we can debate if your home appliances truly need Internet access, there is no debate that the Internet of Things (IoT) is here to stay. It allows for deeper connectivity of many devices that are indeed useful, with great benefits to homes and enterprises alike.

You Will Be Able To:

• Assess IoT network-facing controls, web applications, and API endpoints with an IoT focus
• Examine hardware to discover functionality and find interaction points and use them to obtain data from the hardware
• Uncover firmware from hardware and other means, and explore it for secrets and implementation failures
• Sniff, interact with, and manipulate WiFi, LoRA, and Zigbee wireless technologies and understand security failures in implementation
• Interact with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for device manipulation
• Automate recovery of unknown radio protocols to perform replay attacks and additional analysis
