This book is a marvellous thing: an important intervention in the
policy debate about information security and a practical text for people
trying to improve the situation.
-- Cory Doctorowauthor, co-editor of Boing Boing
A future with billions of connected "things" includes monumental
security concerns. This practical book explores how malicious attackers
can abuse popular IoT-based devices, including wireless LED lightbulbs,
electronic door locks, baby monitors, smart TVs, and connected cars.
If you're part of a team creating applications for Internet-connected
devices, this guide will help you explore security solutions. You'll not
only learn how to uncover vulnerabilities in existing IoT devices, but
also gain deeper insight into an attacker's tactics.
- Analyze the design, architecture, and security issues of wireless
lighting systems
- Understand how to breach electronic door locks and their wireless
mechanisms
- Examine security design flaws in remote-controlled baby monitors
- Evaluate the security design of a suite of IoT-connected home products
- Scrutinize security vulnerabilities in smart TVs
- Explore research into security weaknesses in smart cars
- Delve into prototyping techniques that address security in initial
designs
- Learn plausible attacks scenarios based on how people will likely use
IoT devices
