We are cybersecurity researchers who wrote a book teaching people how to hack the Internet of Things, called Practical IoT Hacking. Ask us anything!

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/IAmA

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • IoTGoat

    IoTGoat is a deliberately insecure firmware created to educate software developers and security professionals with testing commonly found vulnerabilities in IoT devices.

  • In the book we tried to select physical devices that are common enough that you'd be able to find them even several years after the book comes out. We also recognized that this won't always be possible so we created the free OWASP IoT Goat project - a deliberately insecure IoT firmware that you can use for this exact use case!

  • ncrack

    Ncrack network authentication tool

  • Develop and maintain the nmap ncrack tool

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • diodb

    Open-source vulnerability disclosure and bug bounty program database

  • Helped develop coordinated vulnerability disclosure frameworks to allow security researchers to report security issues in good faith

  • Shocker

  • If we ever get to the point where security issues are as obvious as a great big shock when you plug something in then it might work. Come to think of it, there may be some prior art for shocking insecurities.
