IoT Network Security: Penetration Testing and Exploitation Techniques (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798314350393)

Welcome to the wild, insecure world of IoT, where your smart fridge is just one bad firmware update away from becoming part of a botnet, and your Wi-Fi-enabled toaster might be leaking your home's IP address. In IoT Network Security: Penetration Testing and Exploitation Techniques, we dive headfirst into hacking, securing, and understanding the vulnerabilities of IoT networks. Whether you're a cybersecurity professional, a penetration tester, or just someone who enjoys breaking things (ethically, of course), this book will arm you with the skills to find, exploit, and defend IoT devices in real-world networks.

This book is part of the "IoT Red Teaming: Offensive and Defensive Strategies" series, a must-read collection for security professionals looking to master hardware hacking, firmware exploitation, wireless attacks, automotive security, medical IoT hacking, smart city defenses, and even space-based cybersecurity. If you enjoy breaking into IoT networks, you'll love other books in this series like Mastering Hardware Hacking, Firmware Hacking & Reverse Engineering, and Wireless Hacking Unleashed.

What You'll Learn:

• IoT Reconnaissance & Enumeration - Discover and fingerprint IoT devices using tools like Nmap and Shodan.
• Exploiting Communication Protocols - Hack MQTT, CoAP, and AMQP to intercept and manipulate IoT traffic.
• Bypassing Authentication & Access Controls - Crack default credentials, weak session management, and insecure APIs.
• MITM Attacks on IoT Networks - Intercept and modify live IoT data streams using ARP poisoning and SSL stripping.
• Lateral Movement in IoT Networks - Pivot from compromised IoT devices to corporate networks and cloud services.
• DoS and Botnet Attacks - Understand how IoT botnets like Mirai and Mozi take down infrastructures.
• Wireless & RF Exploits - Hack into Zigbee, Z-Wave, Bluetooth, and other IoT radio protocols.
• IoT Cloud & API Attacks - Exploit weak API authentication, hijack cloud services, and extract sensitive data.
• Hardening IoT Networks - Learn how to implement secure segmentation, intrusion detection, and encryption strategies.

Who Is This Book For?

• Penetration Testers & Red Teamers - If you love breaking into systems, this book gives you a step-by-step guide to hacking IoT networks.
• Cybersecurity Researchers - Whether you're uncovering zero-day vulnerabilities or securing enterprise IoT, this book helps you understand the attacker's mindset.
• Network Engineers & SOC Analysts - Defend your IoT infrastructure by understanding how hackers think and operate.
• Ethical Hackers & Security Enthusiasts - If you enjoy learning how things break (so you can fix them), this book is your ultimate guide to IoT penetration testing.

Why This Book?

Because IoT security is a joke (but not a funny one). Most devices are rushed to market with little thought for security, leaving them wide open to attack. The more we understand how attackers exploit these devices, the better we can defend against them. And let's be honest-who doesn't love hacking a smart doorbell just to see what happens?

So, if you're ready to dive into the chaotic world of IoT network penetration testing, grab this book and start hacking, learning, and securing the future-one vulnerable smart device at a time.
