Overview : IoT Security Testing
The protection techniques used to secure network-based or internet-connected devices are referred to as “IoT security.” IoT security is the area of technology concerned with defending the networks and linked devices in the internet of things (IoT). Internet connectivity is added to a network of connected computers, mechanical and digital machinery, items, animals, and/or humans. A key feature of an IoT device is its ability to connect to the internet and communicate with its surroundings by gathering and exchanging data.
Methodology
IoT security testing is crucial to ensure that your device is not involved in the major hack.The development of IoT applications includes a large amount of IoT security testing. The following are some of the most typical IoT security testing types:
Types of Testing -
In IoT penetration testing, a sort of IoT security testing methodology, security experts identify and take advantage of security flaws in IoT devices. The security of your IoT devices is checked in the real world with IoT penetration testing. Under this, specifically, we mean evaluating the complete IoT system, not just the device or the software.
Threat modeling is a systematic method for identifying and listing potential dangers, such as holes in defenses or a lack of them, and for prioritizing security mitigations. It seeks to give the defense force and security team an analysis of the security controls required based on the current information systems and threat environment, the most likely attacks, their methodology, and the target system.
Understanding that firmware is software, just like a computer programme or application, is among the most crucial concepts to grasp. The usage of firmware on embedded devices, which are tiny computers with specialized uses, is the only distinction. a smartphone, router, or even a heart monitor, as examples. The process of extracting and testing firmware for backdoors, buffer overflows, and other security flaws is known as firmware analysis.

Our Approach
An IoT device’s attack surface is mapped out by the tester to show every point of entry that an attacker might use to access the system. In addition to identifying all potential entry points for an attacker, the attack surface mapping process also entails drawing a very thorough architecture diagram.
The tester must create a thorough, full report of all the technical and non-technical summary information in this step. The tester must also provide all the proof of concepts, demos, code snippets, and other materials that they used during the process. Sometimes after a bug has been fixed, the tester must reevaluate it.
