The definitive guide to hacking the world of the Internet of Things (IoT) -- Internet connected devices such as medical devices, home assistants, smart home appliances and more.

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 will develop a security testing methodology, discover the art of passive reconnaissance, and assess security on all layers of an IoT system. Next, you will perform VLAN hopping, crack MQTT authentication, abuse UPnP, develop an mDNS poisoner, and craft WS-Discovery attacks.

You will tackle both hardware hacking and radio hacking, with in-depth coverage of attacks against embedded IoT devices and RFID systems.

You will 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 will use are affordable and readily available, so you can easily practice what you learn. Whether you are a security researcher, IT team member, or hacking hobbyist, you will find Practical IoT Hacking indispensable in your efforts to hack all the things
