This repository serves as a comprehensive guide for performing IoT Penetration Testing, focusing on key areas like hardware, firmware, network communication, and web/mobile interfaces. The goal is to identify vulnerabilities in IoT devices and provide security recommendations.
- Device Information: Identify device model, version, and manufacturer.
- Network Scanning: Use tools like Nmap and Wireshark to analyze device communication and open ports.
- Firmware Extraction: Download or extract firmware using binwalk.
- Reverse Engineering: Use Ghidra or IDA Pro to analyze for vulnerabilities.
- Interface Identification: Locate JTAG/UART interfaces using a multimeter or logic analyzer.
- Device Access: Use Bus Pirate or FTDI cables to connect to hardware and gain shell access.
- Traffic Analysis: Capture and analyze network traffic with Wireshark.
- Traffic Manipulation: Use Burp Suite or mitmproxy to manipulate device communication.
- Web Application: Testing web apps for vulnerabilities like SQLi, XSS.
- Mobile Application: Reverse engineer mobile apps using APKTool to check for insecure practices.
- Wi-Fi: Test for weak Wi-Fi encryption (e.g., WPA2 cracking).
- Bluetooth/ZigBee: Test wireless protocols for weak pairing or data leakage.
- Privilege Escalation: Test for escalating access levels (e.g., user to root).
- Persistence: Check for methods to retain control after reboot.
- Risk Prioritization: Classify vulnerabilities by severity (High, Medium, Low).
- Remediation: Provide recommendations for fixing identified issues.
