Appendix A: Tools for IoT Hacking

Written by all-star security experts, Practical IoT Hacking is a quick-start conceptual guide to testing and exploiting IoT systems and devices.

Drawing from the real-life exploits of five highly regarded IoT security researchers, Practical IoT Hacking teaches you how to test IoT systems, devices, and protocols to mitigate risk.
 
The book begins by walking you through common threats and a threat modeling framework. You ll develop a security testing methodology, discover the art of passive reconnaissance, and assess security on all layers of an IoT system. Next, you ll perform VLAN hopping, crack MQTT authentication, abuse UPnP, develop an mDNS poisoner, and craft WS-Discovery attacks.
 
You ll tackle both hardware hacking and radio hacking, with in-depth coverage of attacks against embedded IoT devices and RFID systems.
 
You ll also learn how to:

Write a DICOM service scanner as an NSE module

Hack a microcontroller through the UART and SWD interfaces

Reverse engineer firmware and analyze mobile companion apps

Develop an NFC fuzzer using Proxmark3

Hack a smart home by jamming wireless alarms, playing back IP camera feeds, and controlling a smart treadmill

 
The tools and devices you ll use are affordable and readily available, so you can easily practice what you learn. Whether you re a security researcher, IT team member, or hacking hobbyist, you ll find Practical IoT Hacking indispensable in your efforts to hack all the things
 
REQUIREMENTS: Basic knowledge of Linux command line, TCP/IP, and programming
