IoT Security Bootcamp

This hands-on IoT hacking class covers all aspects of IoT Security - from the technologies and testing methodologies to the vulnerabilities. The main focus is offensive security: attacking and testing the devices and platforms. We first cover the basics and lay out the ground with concepts before diving into the actual hacking. This provides the understanding of what and why the things can be hacked, with a good mix of knowledge and learning-by-doing or in this case learning-by-hacking.

Students will receive a free IoT hacking kit (hardware with a value of +300 Euros), which contains the tools and some vulnerable devices used in class, so that they can continue sharpening their skills or hack devices after the event.

After the class, the attendees will be able to:

• evaluate the security of different IoT architectures, 
• identify the attack surface, 
• have knowledge of security testing methodologies and how to use them, 
• dump, extract and analyze device firmware, 
• hack UART, SPI, I2C and JTAGs, 
• debug and attack hardware and software, 
• analyze protocols, 
• attack radio and wireless communications like BLE, Zigbee, and custom protocols and much more.
