IoT Vulnerability Assessment & Pentesting

IoT Vulnerability Assessment
SPECIALIZED SERVICE

IoT Vulnerability Assessment & Pentesting

Comprehensive security testing for IoT devices, embedded systems, and connected devices. Our specialized IoT penetration testing identifies vulnerabilities in firmware, communication protocols, and device interfaces.

We test a wide range of IoT devices including smart home devices, industrial control systems, medical devices, and connected vehicles. Our assessments cover hardware security, firmware analysis, wireless communication protocols, and cloud connectivity.

Our expert team uses specialized tools and methodologies to identify security weaknesses that could be exploited to compromise device integrity, user privacy, or network security.

OUR METHODOLOGY

Steps We Take

Our comprehensive 6-step approach ensures thorough security assessment of your IoT ecosystem

01

Reconnaissance & Device Identification

We identify and catalog all IoT devices in your network, including device types, manufacturers, firmware versions, and network communication patterns. This includes physical device inspection and network discovery.

02

Firmware Analysis

We extract and analyze device firmware to identify hardcoded credentials, encryption keys, backdoors, and insecure default configurations. Static and dynamic analysis techniques are used to uncover vulnerabilities.

03

Communication Protocol Testing

We test wireless communication protocols (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave) for encryption weaknesses, authentication bypasses, and man-in-the-middle attack vulnerabilities. Network traffic is analyzed for sensitive data exposure.

04

Hardware Security Assessment

Physical device testing includes examining hardware interfaces (JTAG, UART, SPI), accessing device storage, and testing for hardware-level vulnerabilities that could compromise device security.

05

Cloud & Mobile App Integration Testing

We assess cloud connectivity, API endpoints, and mobile applications that interact with IoT devices. Testing includes authentication mechanisms, data transmission security, and cloud service vulnerabilities.

06

Exploitation & Risk Validation

We validate identified vulnerabilities through controlled exploitation to demonstrate actual risk. Proof-of-concept exploits are developed to show potential impact on device security and user privacy.
