Lab - Learning the Details of Attacks (Instructor Version)

Instructor Note: Red font color or gray highlights indicate text that appears in the instructor copy only.

Objectives
Research and analyze IoT application vulnerabilities.
Part 1: Conduct a Search of IoT Application Vulnerabilities

Background / Scenario
The Internet of Things (IoT) consists of digitally connected devices that are connecting every aspect of our
lives, including our homes, offices, cars, and even our bodies to the internet. With the accelerating adoption of
IPv6 and the near universal deployment of Wi-Fi networks, the IoT is growing at an exponential pace.
According to Statista, industry experts estimate that by 2030, the number of active IoT devices will approach
50 billion.
However, IoT devices are particularly vulnerable to security threats because security has not always been
considered in IoT product design. Also, IoT devices are often sold with old and unpatched embedded
operating systems and software.

Required Resources
 PC or mobile device with internet access

Instructions

Part 1: Conduct a Search of IoT Application Vulnerabilities


Using your favorite search engine, conduct a search for Internet of Things (IoT) vulnerabilities. During your
search, find an example of an IoT vulnerability for each of the IoT verticals: industry, energy systems,
healthcare, and government. Be prepared to discuss who might exploit the vulnerability and why, what
caused the vulnerability, and what could be done to limit the vulnerability.
