IoT Security: Hacking & Hardening Connected Devices

An IoT product is four attack surfaces wearing one plastic shell: hardware, firmware, radio and cloud. This course takes you through all four — first as an attacker, then as the engineer who has to ship it safely under the EU Cyber Resilience Act.

IoT Security: Hacking & Hardening Connected Devices

What you will be able to do

  • Attack the hardware layer: UART, JTAG, SPI flash extraction and the debug ports vendors forget to fuse
  • Unpack and analyse firmware, find hardcoded secrets, and rebuild modified images
  • Assess radio protocols — BLE, Zigbee, LoRa and Wi-Fi — for pairing and replay weaknesses
  • Test the device cloud and mobile app: API authorisation, device identity and provisioning flows
  • Harden with secure boot, signed updates, hardware-backed keys and least-privilege device identity
  • Map your product against OWASP IoT Top 10, ETSI EN 303 645, NIST IR 8259 and EU CRA obligations
