IoT Security – Part 1 (101 – IoT Introduction and Architecture)
The problem with every new and complex technology for security researchers is not knowing where to start and how/where to attack. This is a common problem and has a common solution i.e. breaking the technology into small components and start learning each component individually. This process makes you master each component and guides you to focus on the most interesting components according to the researcher. If you have read till here, I’m assuming you are going to stick around and read through. So, without any delay let’s start : ) . Note: 1. The information in this blog series is generic and can be applied to the security research of IoT products in any domain irrespective of their usage including Home automation, Industrial Control Systems, Healthcare, Transportation etc. 2. I will use the words device, hardware and sensor interchangeably to mean the same thing unless specifically mentioned with explanation. 3. I mention IoT ecosystem to mean an IoT product or a solution due to the nature of the IoT technology that comprises of different technologies. IoT != Hardware...
