Hacking the IoT: A Case Study
An IoT device is made up of 5 different components: the hardware, webapp, mobile apps, network communication and API. Hacking an IoT device requires looking at each component individually, as well as looking at the whole picture. In this talk, husband and wife team – Nancy and Phoenix Snoke – go through the process and findings of hacking an actual IoT device: a baby monitor. Both general methodology and specific examples will be presented. This talk concludes with tips for setting up your own IoT device hacking lab. Note: the detail level of the findings and whether the exact device model will be released is dependent on a response pending from manufacturer.
