Challenge Overview

You are locked out of your apartment. The door is secured by a smart lock that can be unlocked through a mobile app on your phone. Unfortunately, you lost your phone while returning home, and your laptop is now your only available device.

Fortunately, your laptop is connected to the shared building Wi-Fi network. You know that the building uses a networked smart lock system, but you do not know the IP address of your door lock or how the mobile app communicates with it. Your objective is to map the network, identify the lock system and its supporting infrastructure, and uncover a weakness that allows you to control the lock and regain access to your apartment.

Note: Because this is a virtual lab environment, a digital simulation of your physical door is provided at 10.10.1.101, which can be opened by clicking on its handle.

What You Will Learn

  • Discovering IoT devices and services through network enumeration.
  • Identifying smart lock communication protocols and backend infrastructure.
  • Intercepting and analyzing HTTP/API traffic using Burp Suite.
  • Investigating IoT messaging protocols such as MQTT for security weaknesses.
  • Exploiting authentication or parameter-handling flaws to control the smart lock.
