Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) v12 312-50 Exam Guide

By: Dale Meredith

Overview of this book

With cyber threats continually evolving, understanding the trends and using the tools deployed by attackers to determine vulnerabilities in your system can help secure your applications, networks, and devices. To outmatch attacks, developing an attacker's mindset is a necessary skill, which you can hone with the help of this cybersecurity book. This study guide takes a step-by-step approach to helping you cover all the exam objectives using plenty of examples and hands-on activities. You'll start by gaining insights into the different elements of InfoSec and a thorough understanding of ethical hacking terms and concepts. You'll then learn about various vectors, including network-based vectors, software-based vectors, mobile devices, wireless networks, and IoT devices. The book also explores attacks on emerging technologies such as the cloud, IoT, web apps, and servers and examines prominent tools and techniques used by hackers. Finally, you'll be ready to take mock tests, which will help you test your understanding of all the topics covered in the book. By the end of this book, you'll have obtained the information necessary to take the 312-50 exam and become a CEH v11 certified ethical hacker.

IoT hacking

Let's talk about some of the vulnerabilities and some of the hurdles that IoT presents to us.

The first is what I term data value. This involves capturing data as IoT devices communicate with each other and with the cloud behind them or their cloud providers, which increases the risk because it makes IoT more obscure. Time after time, we're starting to see where the IoT environment is allowing attackers to access other devices, as well as networks they may be connected to. So, many companies deploy their IoT environments on their production network, which kind of makes me sad and sick inside.

Another issue is data aggregation. Again, we have a lot of devices here speaking with other resources that may be outside of our control.

There's also something that's referred to as sensor fusion, which is the ability to combine information from two completely disconnected sensing devices to create more complex information or a view of the environment...
