Take a practioner's approach in analyzing the Internet of Things (IoT) devices and the security
issues facing an IoT architecture. You'll review the architecture's central components from
hardware communication interfaces such as UARTand SPI to radio protocols such as BLE or
ZigBee. You'll also learn to assess a device physically by opening it looking at the PCB and
identifying the chipsets and interfaces. You'll then use that information to gain entry to the
device or to perform other actions such as dumping encryption keys and firmware. As the IoT
rises to one of the most popular tech trends manufactures need to take necessary steps to
secure devices and protect them from attackers. The IoT Hacker's Handbook breaks down the
Internet of Things exploits it and reveals how these devices can be built securely. What
You'll Learn Perform a threat model of a real-world IoT device and locate all possible attacker
entry points Use reverse engineering of firmware binaries to identify security issues Analyze
assess and identify security issues in exploited ARM and MIPS based binaries Sniff capture
and exploit radio communication protocols such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and ZigBee Who
This Book is For Those interested in learning about IoT security such as pentesters working in
different domains embedded device developers or IT people wanting to move to an Internet of
Things security role.
