Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

The Hands-on IoT Pentesting course is designed for cybersecurity professionals, researchers, and enthusiasts aiming to secure Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems. With billions of IoT devices in use today, understanding their vulnerabilities is essential to safeguard networks, data, and critical infrastructures from sophisticated attacks. This course provides a practical, lab-driven approach to mastering IoT security testing.

This course begins with the basics of IoT pentesting, including operating systems, tools, and hardware essentials. You will learn soldering techniques, using multimeters, and analyzing device interfaces like UART and JTAG for hardware exploitation. Moving forward, the course explores firmware extraction, analysis, automation, and exploitation. It also dives into radio frequency (RF) communications with modules on software-defined radio (SDR), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) analysis and attacks, and Zigbee traffic inspection and exploitation, reinforced by hands-on hacking challenges and solutions.

By the end, you will gain practical experience in identifying, analyzing, and exploiting vulnerabilities in IoT systems, equipping you with the skills to enhance IoT security testing and defense.
