IoT
Penetration Testing
IoT penetration testing for connected products across hardware, firmware, wireless, and cloud backends. We test full device trust chains so you can ship securely and operate resilient fleets.
Lab and remote test options available.
Firmware authenticity and update integrity validation
Wireless protocol abuse and replay testing
Hardware interface and debug surface analysis
Device-to-cloud authorization path verification
Device Security Is a Chain, Not a Single Test
Hardware Interfaces
Assess exposed debug ports (UART/JTAG/SWD), boot protections, and physical tamper controls.
Firmware Security
Extract and analyze firmware for secrets, unsafe update paths, and exploitable binaries.
Wireless & Protocols
Test BLE, Zigbee, Wi-Fi, and proprietary protocol authentication and replay protections.
Device-to-Cloud Trust
Validate API auth, OTA update integrity, identity lifecycle, and cloud permission boundaries.
What We Test
Firmware & Embedded
Firmware extraction, reverse engineering, and exploit analysis for embedded software paths.
Wireless & Protocols
Wi-Fi, BLE, Zigbee, NFC, and proprietary protocol security under realistic traffic conditions.
Hardware Attack Surface
Debug interface abuse, memory access paths, and physical extraction risk assessment.
Device & Cloud Integration
Cloud API access control, OTA workflows, and fleet management security controls.
IoT security testing often overlaps with application and vulnerability research when devices connect to cloud and mobile ecosystems.
IoT Lab Testing Capabilities
Firmware Reverse Engineering
Extract firmware images, identify insecure functions, and verify exploit feasibility under realistic constraints.
Protocol Traffic Analysis
Capture and replay protocol communications to test authentication robustness and command integrity.
Secure Update Validation
Validate update signing and rollback protections to prevent malicious OTA package delivery.
What You Receive

Retest validation for critical and high-severity issues
Frequently Asked Questions
What is IoT penetration testing?
IoT penetration testing assesses the security of connected devices: firmware, hardware interfaces, wireless protocols, and cloud integration. We look for weak authentication, exposed debug interfaces, and vulnerabilities that could let an attacker compromise devices or the backend.
Do you need physical access to the device?
It depends on scope. We can do remote testing (APIs, cloud, network) or on-site/hardware testing. Many engagements include both: we test what's reachable remotely and, when in scope, physically interact with devices for firmware and hardware analysis.
What types of IoT products do you test?
We've tested industrial IoT, smart building devices, consumer products, medical and wearables, and custom embedded systems. Scope can focus on firmware, wireless, or full device-to-cloud. We tailor the engagement to your product and risk profile.
