Attacking IoT devices

Attacking IoT devices

- [Narrator] Once the team identifies the vulnerabilities of an IoT device, the next logical step is to attempt an attack. In this segment, we'll discuss attacks on IoT devices, such as side-channel, BlueBorne, and replay attacks. IoT devices are vulnerable to a variety of attacks for many reasons. That include insecure design and implementation and a rapidly evolving threat landscape. So let's talk about some examples of attacks that can cripple or take control of a device using one or more software and hardware tools and frameworks. One type of attack is a side-channel attack, which targets physical vulnerabilities. It typically involves monitoring power consumption, electromagnetic emissions, or other physical characteristics to extract sensitive information such as encryption keys. To test for possible side-channel attacks on embedded devices, the team can use ChipWhisperer, an open source tool used for testing. And I'm here in this page, and we'll scroll down so you can see some…
