To exploit IoT vulnerabilities and to be able to protect yourself from them, automation is needed to develop weaponized proof of concepts as well as provide scalability for defensive security teams. If security teams do not keep pace with how fast code is being pushed and developed, vulnerabilities are bound to be introduced. Additionally, security teams will need to adapt to the speed of dev teams and not hinder their current processes for security testing as well as review. This chapter will cover advanced IoT exploitation techniques as well as methods of discovering, and preventing IoT vulnerabilities in an automated manner.

Overview of this book
IoT is an upcoming trend in the IT industry today; there are a lot of IoT devices on the market, but there is a minimal understanding of how to safeguard them. If you are a security enthusiast or pentester, this book will help you understand how to exploit and secure IoT devices.
This book follows a recipe-based approach, giving you practical experience in securing upcoming smart devices. It starts with practical recipes on how to analyze IoT device architectures and identify vulnerabilities. Then, it focuses on enhancing your pentesting skill set, teaching you how to exploit a vulnerable IoT device, along with identifying vulnerabilities in IoT device firmware. Next, this book teaches you how to secure embedded devices and exploit smart devices with hardware techniques. Moving forward, this book reveals advanced hardware pentesting techniques, along with software-defined, radio-based IoT pentesting with Zigbee and Z-Wave. Finally, this book also covers how to use new and unique pentesting techniques for different IoT devices, along with smart devices connected to the cloud.
By the end of this book, you will have a fair understanding of how to use different pentesting techniques to exploit and secure various IoT devices.
