IoT Penetration Testing

Comprehensive security testing of Internet of Things devices, firmware, and their supporting infrastructure.

The Internet of Things has dramatically expanded the attack surface for most organisations. IoT devices often lack the security controls found in traditional IT systems, making them prime targets for attackers.

Our IoT Penetration Testing service examines the full IoT ecosystem - the device hardware, firmware, communication protocols, mobile applications, cloud backends, and APIs to identify vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them.

IoT Penetration Testing typically involves four main categories.

IoT security requires a unique skill set that spans hardware, embedded systems, wireless protocols, and cloud infrastructure. Our team brings deep expertise across all of these disciplines.

Testing Scope

What We Test

Firmware Testing

Identifying weak or hardcoded credentials, vulnerable services, memory corruption issues, and insecure permissions within the device's firmware.

Hardware Testing

Checking for a lack of physical hardening and examining serial ports, UART, and JTAG interfaces for vulnerabilities.

Wireless Attacks

Evaluation of radio frequency (RF) attacks such as jamming and replay attacks, as well as Wi-Fi-specific attacks including de-authentication attacks and man-in-the-middle attacks.

UI Testing

User interface testing that assesses user interaction applications across various platforms, including mobile and web dashboards.
