IOT Pentesting
What is IOT pentration testing?
IoT Penetration Testing is the process of assessing and exploiting vulnerabilities in Internet of Things (IoT) devices, firmware, applications, and networks to identify security risks. These devices include smart home products, medical equipment, wearables, industrial sensors, surveillance systems, and more.
Since IoT systems combine hardware, software, APIs, cloud, and mobile apps, IoT Penetration Testing requires a multi-layered approach to uncover flaws in communication, authentication, data handling, firmware, and third-party integrations.
Why IOT Pentesting is Essential
- Exploding IoT Usage
The rapid adoption of IoT devices has outpaced security standards—making them a goldmine for hackers. - Weak Defaults & Firmware Vulnerabilities
Many IoT devices ship with weak/default credentials, outdated libraries, or insecure firmware. - Real-World Consequences
IoT hacks can result in physical damage (e.g., industrial controls), data leaks (e.g., smartwatches), or surveillance (e.g., cameras). - No Unified Security Framework
IoT spans different protocols and platforms, making IoT Penetration Testing crucial to detect complex vulnerabilities. - Compliance & Product Safety
For medical, automotive, industrial, or consumer IoT, regular IoT Penetration Testing is required to meet standards like ISO 62443, GDPR, or HIPAA.
Our testing approach
Scoping & Device Profiling
We begin by identifying the type of IoT devices and their ecosystem. Scoping includes testing permissions, firmware access, communication layers and cloud connections. Legal and physical access to devices is confirmed
Reconnaissance & Interface Mapping
We collect data about firmware versions, default credentials, open ports, and available attack surfaces through this phase. The goal is to fully map communication channels and interfaces
Firmware & Static Analysis
The firmware is extracted and analyzed for hardcoded credentials or insecure code. We inspect file systems, configuration files, and binaries. This phase targets weaknesses at the software level.
Dynamic Testing & Exploitation
This phase involves interacting with the device in real-time to exploit vulnerabilities. We attempt physical or remote access bypasses. Exploitation simulates real-world attacks against the device or its ecosystem
Reporting & Remediation Guidance
All discovered issues are reported with severity, technical impact, and exploitation steps. We also provide mitigation strategies. Reports can align with standards like OWASP IoT Top 10 or ETSI EN 303 645
Retesting Support
After remediation is completed, the retesting phase validates whether all previously identified vulnerabilities have been successfully fixed. A final validation report is issued
