Introduction to IoT Protocols and Security Testing

Many IoT devices use standard protocols to communicate. This elementary level session introduces the basics of common protocols used to help participants understand the languages of IoT devices. Hands-on exercises are also included to enable the participants to set up their own tiny security testing lab to sniff, capture, intercept and analyze traffic of IoT devices.

Speaker: Kenneth Tse

Kenneth is a senior consultant at a local security consulting firm with over 10 years of hands-on experiences in information security. He leads a team of ethical hackers to conduct penetration tests and simulation of attacks for customers from various industries. Being a security geek, Kenneth enjoys jamming with his geeky friends to research on security topics and hacking (legitimately) for fun.

 

Security Vulnerabilities of IoT Devices

The workshops goes in-depth into the security vulnerabilities of IoT devices through sharing of industry insights and technical details.

The demands of cut-throat competition, together with the end-to-end nature of IoT and the fact that all ODMs are located in China, have given rise to the Brands-ODM-SoC ecosystem for low cost and quick turnaround mobile devices. On top of this, there are only a small handful of SoC solutions for each type of IoT device, which are available on the Internet. Anyone with a little bit of technical background and persistence can do some digging and easily access different kinds of IoT devices. We are going to show you how easy it is to utilize the tools and concepts from the previous session to hack into everyday wearable devices.

Speaker: Wai Kong Sung

Wai Kong Sung is currently a software consultant for an end-to-end Internet of Thing(IoT) solutions provider. In 2008, he co-founded one of the earliest Android start-ups which was later acquired by one of the major ODMs in China. Prior to this, he led the fixed-mobile convergence team in a Linux smartphone start-up which was a pioneer of baseband SoC design. He has also worked on embedded system software and operation support systems (OSS) for telecom carriers in the United States.

 

Static Analysis of Firmware and Walkthrough of how a Router Expliot is discovered

This workshop introduces firmware analysis, methodologies to retrieve firmware and static analysis of firmware with two case studies of two brands of router. 

Speaker: Chris Chan
