9781491902332 English 1491902337 "This book is a marvellous thing: an important intervention in the policy debate about information security and a practical text for people trying to improve the situation." Cory Doctorowauthor, co-editor of Boing BoingA future with billions of connected "things" includes monumental security concerns. This practical book explores how malicious attackers can abuse popular IoT-based devices, including wireless LED lightbulbs, electronic door locks, baby monitors, smart TVs, and connected cars.If you re part of a team creating applications for Internet-connected devices, this guide will help you explore security solutions. You ll not only learn how to uncover vulnerabilities in existing IoT devices, but also gain deeper insight into an attacker s tactics.Analyze the design, architecture, and security issues of wireless lighting systemsUnderstand how to breach electronic door locks and their wireless mechanismsExamine security design flaws in remote-controlled baby monitorsEvaluate the security design of a suite of IoT-connected home productsScrutinize security vulnerabilities in smart TVsExplore research into security weaknesses in smart carsDelve into prototyping techniques that address security in initial designsLearn plausible attacks scenarios based on how people will likely use IoT devices", A future with billions of connected "things" includes monumental security concerns.

Attacks targeting our online spaces will put our physical security at risk. Traditionally, the attack vectors to our fundamental luxuries have required physical tampering, mostly because access to the infrastructure has been limited from the Internet. This is about to change with the upcoming disruption caused by a future with billions of "things" connected to the Internet.In this book, we will take a fascinating look into abusing the most popular IoT-based devices already available in the market. We will take a look at how a simple attack can cause a perpetual blackout targeting LED lightbulbs, how bad security decisions have grossly violated the physical safety and privacy of families, and how the insecurity of powerful electric vehicles can put your life at risk. The goal of this book is to demonstrate tangible risk in IoT devices that we are going to depend on more and more as time progresses. Once we begin to understand the cause of actual security vulnerabilities in devices today, we will begin to set the path for a future that will help us enable these devices to securely enhance and augment our lives. Malicious attackers are already hard at work uncovering and exploiting these security defects and they will continue to find crafty avenues to abuse their knowledge every way they can. These attackers span the spectrum of curious college students to sophisticated private and state sponsored criminal gangs that are interested in terrorizing individuals and populations. The impact of security vulnerabilities in IoT devices can lead to mass compromise of privacy and cause physical harm. The stakes are high.
