IoT / Embedded
Security Assessment
A practical security assessment of IoT and embedded devices, focusing on real-world attack paths that adversaries actually use. We evaluate device interfaces, network communications, cloud integrations, and firmware security.
Practical Attack Surface Testing
Real-world attack paths without destructive analysis
Assessment Scope
Comprehensive evaluation of your IoT ecosystem covering these key security areas.
Device Interface & Surface Mapping
Enumerate available ports (USB, Ethernet, serial headers if visible), identify open network services, discover wireless interfaces (BLE, Wi-Fi, etc.), and document the complete attack surface.
Network & Communication Security
Intercept and analyze network traffic, validate TLS usage and certificate handling, look for plaintext credentials, tokens, or sensitive data, and check for replayability or lack of authentication.
Cloud API / Backend Security
Test authentication and authorization mechanisms, validate API key handling and storage, check for insecure endpoints, and evaluate data exposure risks in the cloud backend.
Mobile App / Web App Integration
Inspect API calls between app and device, validate authentication flows, check for local storage issues and sensitive data exposure, and confirm secure communication with the device.
Update Mechanism Review
Non-destructive observation of update process, check for signed updates and integrity verification, validate transport security, and look for downgrade or replay vulnerabilities.
Basic Firmware Review
If provided by client: string analysis and secret enumeration, hardcoded credential search, basic static analysis of binaries, and configuration file review for security issues.
Device Hardening Review
External-only assessment: check for exposed debug ports and interfaces, identify insecure reset mechanisms, and evaluate insecure default configurations that could be exploited.
Scope Boundaries
This assessment covers real-world attack paths that adversaries commonly exploit. It does not include JTAG/UART extraction, full firmware reverse engineering, side-channel analysis, chip-off techniques, hardware teardown, RF protocol fuzzing, or deep wireless exploitation. These advanced techniques can be scoped separately if required.
