Hacking and Pentesting: IoT




The Internet of Things (IoT) is evolving rapidly, and has become an integral part of our daily lives, which is why it is one of the major challenges facing IT security. We need to know about their vulnerabilities to be able to trigger the appropriate response and raise the level of security.

Teaching objectives
At the end of the training, the participant will be able to:
Defining the impact and scope of a vulnerability
Understand hacker techniques and counter their attacks
Measuring the security level of a connected object
Perform a penetration test

Intended audience
Security managers and architects. System and network technicians and administrators.

Prerequisites
Good knowledge of IS security, networks, systems (especially Linux) and programming. Or knowledge equivalent to that of the Systems and Network Security, Level 1 course (ref. FRW).

Course schedule

1
A reminder of IoTs (Connected Objects)

  • The different types of IoT (Connected Objects).
  • Wireless protocols (WiFi...) and their ranges (operating distance). Links with M2M.
  • Architectures: ARM, MIPS, SuperH, PowerPC.

2
Hacking and security

  • Forms of attack, modus operandi, players, stakes.
  • Audits and penetration tests.

3
The IoT environment

  • Network: 4G, LTE, LoRA, WiFi, MQTT, 802.11.15.4, ZigBee, Z-Wave, 6LoWPAN and BLE (Bluetooth LE).
  • Application: Web App, Mobile App, Web, mobile or API (SOAP, REST).
  • Firmware, the device's operating system: Windows, Linux x86/x64 bits or Raspbian.
  • Encryption: protects communications and data stored on the device.
  • Hardware: chip, chipset, Storagestorage, JTAG, UART ports, sensors, camera, etc.), port, sensor, camera.
  • Architecture: ARM, MIPS, SuperH, PowerPC.
  • System structure, components, protection and updates.
Hands-on work
Collect the information (hardware, chip, etc.) making up the connected object.

4
Vulnerabilities

  • The search for vulnerabilities.
  • Connected object links to a network.
  • Authentication mechanisms.
  • Installation search and default password.
  • Intrusion testing methodology for IoTs (Connected Objects).
  • Tools: logic analyzers, debuggers, disassemblers and decompilers.
Hands-on work
Measure the security level of an IoT (Connected Object).

5
The attacks

  • Software (XSS, SQLi, command injection, mishandled exceptions and RCE or DoS memory corruption attacks).
  • Hardware (JTAG, SWD, UART, SPI, I2C bus, etc.).
  • Wireless connectivity, communication protocol. Emission analysis.
Hands-on work
Access a connected object via various attacks. Perform a penetration test.

6
The audit report

  • Contents.
  • Sections not to be overlooked.
Hands-on work
Complete a pre-filled report.

Good content and approach for this introductory course on IoT pentesting.

The IoT subject specific to this course seems to me to have been downplayed, as the Pentest courses and exercises are based on the Web attacks seen in other, more traditional Pentest courses that I've already taken.
