The workshop will start with a brief presentation covering our research to date with Fitbit’s Aria scales; what we’ve found, what we’ve learned, where we’ve got stuck, and what we’ve guessed at. We will discuss a few vulnerabilities that we have discovered and help get you started on finding some more. Once we’ve set the scene the workshop can begin. This is really a 101 on logic probing and hardware analysis, so we’ll share some basic techniques for logic probing; UART, SPI, Flash etc.

We will be bringing a number of sacrificial Fitbit Aria scales for you to work on yourselves, plus several sets of logic probes with us for you to use, with guidance from us if you’d like it. If you would like to borrow our probes for the session, please make sure you have installed Logic from Saleae, or use your favorite logic analyzer. If you’re bringing your own Fitbit Aria scales we advise that you check they are at firmware version 36 or below.

Tasks for the session:

• Push old firmware to the Aria
• Modify the startup display on the Aria LCD (‘hack me fat!’)
• Turn the scales in to a network implant

ABSTRACT:
More and more devices are communicating with each other and are becoming connected to IP networks, sometimes even directly to the Internet. This innovation should improve our quality of life and make our every day life easier, but this trend does not only bring advantages; it also introduces a lot of new challenges and threats. These challenges arise with every new product development in the area of Internet of Things. Especially products in the area of home automation and smart homes are getting increasingly popular and therefore consumers become an interesting target group for attackers. Today’s home automation systems are also following the global trend and move from wired bus systems to wireless radio communication. To face these arising challenges, new protocols and standards beside the world of TCP/IP were created and are currently being developed. However, it is not just the security of the standards and protocols themselves that are important, but it’s also the correct implementation and integration into products that is a challenge for every single vendor.

He leads the Fortify on Demand security research team, and is a project leader on the OWASP IoT and OWASP Mobile Top Ten projects.

ABSTRACT:
Securing the Internet of Things is a difficult task for many reasons, but the most important may be the fact that IoT is actually a collection of spaces instead of a space of its own. IoT is made up of networks, web applications, mobile applications, and cloud components--all assembled together to produce a usable system designed for maximum connectivity. What could go right?

The OWASP Top 10 Project starts the IoT security scope conversation by defining the 10 primary attack surface areas for the Internet of Things, and by giving prescriptive guidance on how testers, manufacturers, developers, and consumers can make better security decisions, when creating, evaluating, and implementing IoT technologies.

Attendees will learn about the 10 surface areas from the penetration testing perspective, including the common vulnerabilities found in each surface area and how to avoid them. Examples will be given from research on real-world devices conducted by the speaker's team.

A handout will be given as a tangible reference for the 10 attack surface areas.

REASON:
Everyone's talking about IoT, but nobody's talking about how to properly address IoT security as a whole, in a practical and tangible way.
This talk gives practical and tangible guidance that will help attendees the very next time they're asked to assess an IoT system.

ABSTRACT:
It is easy to find poorly designed devices with poor security, but how do the market leading devices stack up? Are they more secure than a Linux-powered rifle? This presentation documents our effort to assess the state of security of top selling Internet of Things Devices.

We procured 14 of the leading “connected home” IoT devices and tore them down, all the way from software to hardware and compared their relative security. This talk will demonstrate techniques useful for assessing any IoT device, while showing how they were applied across a wide range of devices.

Currently Brian is the Principal Security Advisor & Researcher at Wink Inc. There he is responsible for SDL, PSIRT, security research, pentesting, training, bug bounty and researcher programs, and threat modeling for Wink products and partner integrations.

ABSTRACT:
Using small or almost non-existent budgets as an excuse for not running application and product security programs is not acceptable. The rapid growth of low margin IoT devices from startups changed the way security teams have to operate. Instead, learned to leverage external researchers by incentivising them with free products, thanking and embracing researchers for their help, and promising transparency into our direction and enhancements, with the goal of secure consumer devices for everyone.

This talk will walk through the creation of two successful application and product security teams built in organizations without many resources or large budgets. Those programs included regular threat modeling, bug bounty programs, proactive engagement with researchers, security analytics monitoring, and vuln research. Even with the budgetary and staffing constraints, the teams were able to deliver increasingly more secure products that continue to push the boundaries of consumer device security in a market where consumers refuse to pay more for the cost of securing them. This discussion is not about the companies themselves, but instead as a model any startup company can adopt to deliver solid products, rather than using excuses to defer action.

REASON:
Without the resources internally to find major vulns, we were able to identify a critical vuln from a researcher on the bug bounty that had the ability to greatly affect all customers homes. It was patched within 24-hours. That is a perfect example of why this program is critical to the security and privacy of consumers and why every IoT manufacturer should follow this program. There were multiple other vulns discovered with the program that also make the same point.

ABSTRACT:
The notion of "secure by design” or "privacy by design” for IoT devices has been a perspective for standard organizations. Legislative entities from both the US and EU recognize the impact these "things" can effect lives and the enterprise. To better understand a secure design, we will explore the supply chain and development lifecycle of these IoT devices and discuss how our roles as security professionals and researchers.

ABSTRACT:
Smart home technology has been a dream for many perhaps inspired by the likes of George Jetson. Unfortunately the technology is in its infancy still and the question remains as to whether vendors can demonstrate the ability to make our homes smarter without simultaneously introducing new risks to personal safety and privacy. In an effort to answer this question, Tripwire VERT conducted a security assessment of the three top-selling ‘Smart Home Hub' products available on Amazon. The research revealed 0-day flaws in each product allowing an attacker to control smart home functionality. This presentation will reveal some of the findings from this study including vulnerability discoveries. If not addressed, smart home flaws can give rise to a new type of ‘smart criminal' able to case victims without being seen. Once a target is chosen, it is possible to unlock doors and disable security monitoring.

REASON:

1. Each product I tested had 0-day flaws
2. Two of the three products evaluated contained 0-day flaws allowing a remote attacker to gain root access with limited to no user-interaction required.
3. I will be demonstrating a PoC which determines the local IP address and searches for the vulnerable device.
4. The PoC described in #3 is still 0-day in official firmware, the latest RC firmware, and possibly in the latest beta firmware.

Networked smart appliances can reduce energy costs and provide detailed situational awareness. However, the same remote access used for benevolent command and control can be leveraged by an adversary for reconnaissance and to cause real world kinetic effects if security is compromised. In this talk, we exploit a commercially available smart fridge to evaluate its sensor capabilities and to demonstrate the potential for delivering kinetic cyber effects. As a proof of concept, we use the fridge ambient humidity sensor to reveal its geographic location and nearby human activity. We also quantify the potential for intentional flooding. Finally, the fridge compartments are heated by abusing the compressor and defrosters to evaluate the potential for damaging temperature-sensitive medical supplies. We demonstrate that within two hours the refrigeration compartment and freezer can be raised above 30 °C (86 °F) and 20 °C (68°F), respectively, remotely via the Internet.

We highlight the interesting things that an attacker can do with network access to a smart fridge. How hot can the fridge get when the attacker turns off cooling and blasts the defrosters? How much water per hour can be released out of the fridge door? We answer these questions and more. We also show that the fridge ambient humidity sensor is sensitive enough to tell whether or not it is raining outside, which reveals geographic location. Hell, we will even give away hardware to the crowd.

The consumer benefits of the IoT are anticipated to be exceedingly large with 5G wireless technologies underpinning much of the evolving IoT landscape. However, IoT will also greatly expand the cyber attack surface for consumer appliances. This session will discuss the FCC’s initiatives to better posture the telecommunications sector to combat cyber threats to the communications critical infrastructure and solicit attendee participation in developing appropriate FCC policy objectives for 5G.

This is not a typical government monologue; this talk is an interactive, engaging, informative discussion of the FCC’s cybersecurity risk reduction initiatives to combat the most pressing threats to the communications critical infrastructure that would undermine the integrity and deployment of the IoT. It will explain the unique vulnerabilities inherent in 5G and explore opportunities to design 5G in a manner that reduces risk for the IoT.

Many Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) enabled deadbolts and padlocks have hit the market recently. These devices promise convenience and security through smartphone control. We investigated sixteen of these products from multiple vendors and discovered wireless vulnerabilities in most of them. Using a $50 antenna, we successfully picked vulnerable locks from over 400 meters away. In this presentation we introduce open source tools to crack each of the vulnerable BLE locks. Furthermore, after surveying the open source Bluetooth hacking tools currently available, we find very little support for BLE. So, to make discovering and range finding to BLE devices easier, we introduce a new open source warwalking tool compatible with both Bluetooth Classic and BLE

These locks are being relied upon by consumers to protect their homes and property and they need to be fully aware of the risks. By revealing the security vulnerabilities in BTLE locks from multiple vendors and by releasing open source tools to crack them wirelessly, we hope to put pressure on companies to improve security in future products. Plus, we will perform live demos of two of our tools.

Reverse engineering wireless protocols is not as difficult as you might think! Join us and collaborate as we reverse engineer the RF protocol used by an AirHogs drone, from start to finish. You are invited to bring your own gear and follow along, or sit back and enjoy the spectacle.

What to Expect:
We will start with some basic RF fundamentals and introduce the tools we will be using. Next, we will collect open source intelligence about the drone from Google and the FCC website. Armed with our OSINT, a SDR, and GNU Radio, we will reverse engineer the packet format and protocol used by the drone. Using a SDR, we will implement a transceiver capable of communicating with the drone. Bringing it all together, we will go airborne (with a killswitch ready should the proverbial shit hit the fan).

What to Bring:
If you want to get some hands on RF reverse engineering experience, we encourage you to bring a laptop running GNU Radio, your 2.4GHz capable software defined radio, and an AirHogs Fury Jump Jet!

Stephen Chavez @redragonx

We are going to exploit a Sunrise Quickie Rhythm power wheelchair that uses the CAN BUS protocol with Arduino/Raspberry PI hardware. We will show how easy it is to inject standard CAN messages to take full control of the chair and block all user input from the main joystick controller. And in addition, provide some basic open source tools to allow people to customize their chairs more easily.

Power wheelchairs have become increasingly sophisticated both for increasing their capabilities and for connecting users to the world at large. Some include Bluetooth functionality, which can be an easy way to attack chairs. It is time to teach people to understand how their chairs work, and show them the current status of software security on the chairs.

PenTest Partners@PenTestPartners

An introductory presentation followed by a demonstration covering hardware hacking topics such as reverse engineering, firmware analysis, remote code execution, even abusing OTA updates. Attendees will come away with a practical understanding of reverse engineering and attacking these devices. We will also go through a PoC IoT ransomware attack specifically for thermostats.

Attendees will see a breakdown of the technology, with a demo showing precisely how thermostats can be compromised. Finally a workshop will give attendees a solid and in-depth understanding of the security profile of many IoT devices, using readily available home heating thermostats. After that we then run a workshop so that everyone can get to have a free reign to hack their own. We’ll provide a range of IoT thermostats and tools so it’ll be as accessible as possible to all who want to participate.

Typically, access to embedded functionality in thermostats is via their JTAG ports so we will provide a primer on those as well as giving attendees the devices and tools to enable them to fully access the device and create their own hardware attack. Specifically, we want people to come away with a practical, hands-on understanding of IoT reverse engineering and enhanced hardware hacking skills.

Elizabeth Wharton @LawyerLiz

Connected devices provide a new playground of attack and vulnerability vectors to implement, test, and protect. Launching a home-built drone to test wireless access points, for example, may require authorization from the Federal Aviation Administration and the Federal Communications Commission. Testing connected car software? There’s a new Digital Millennium Copyright Act exemption carve out for research but be wary of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act dangers. Before incorporating connected technology as part of your research, know where to find the regulatory traps and ways to minimize their legal impact. This presentation will provide an overview of federal privacy, security, and safety regulations triggered by IoT research and a breakdown of recent federal enforcement actions. Gain knowledge of the potential research risks and a sense of when to run, change an approach, or abandon if avoiding breaking the law while breaking IoT matters

Research is hard enough and companies whose products are being tested don't always welcome vulnerability disclosures. Solid research shouldn't be rewarded with threats of lawsuits or hiring defense lawyers. Minimize the risks, spend the money saved on beer or more gear.

The vast playground of IoT, and all its problems, will surely transfer from Consumer homes over to the Enterprise. Various studies have shown the effect of consumer IoT adoption in the enterprise, resulting in rouge connections into a trusted network. Items such as Smart TVs, drones, home security devices, and even connected vehicles are now being discovered in corporate networks. Industry professionals and board rooms are struggling to keep up with the growth of IoT due to the various interfaces introduced. We will discuss the many IoT attack surfaces and provide proactive security controls that are easily implemented by consumers, enterprises, and manufactures alike.

What is constantly being shared throughout the industry is how IoT is broken, vulnerable, and insecure. Various testing methodologies and guidance cheat sheets have been released without discussions on how to protect against the threats discovered. As a technical editor for an upcoming IoT security book, as well as a contributor for various security guidance documents on IoT, this talk will give practical defense guidance that attendees and manufacturers can implement.

Disclosing vulnerabilities to a vendor, especially one that doesn't seem to prioritize security the same way we do, can be a source of pain. We may even find ourselves viewing the product vendor as an enemy during this process. But we are faced with a future in which people will interact with connected devices whether they intend to do so or not. Imagine worrying about the security of a connected "smart" showerhead in your hotel room. Silly, isn’t it? Yet such devices will be increasingly prevalent, and vulnerable.
For this reason, this keynote advocates for why we as security researchers should reframe our relationships with vendors from what is sometimes an adversarial one to a collaborative one. To achieve a better security posture in this industry, this talk offers strategies and tactics for how to improve our methods of working with vendors.

This topic covers researches made by Critical Infrastructure Defense Team, Kaspersky Lab regarding vast variety of different serious vulnerabilities in popular wanna-be-smart industrial control systems. We found 80+ 0day vulnerabilities and reported to vendors. Some of them are patched already (CVE-2016-5743, CVE-2016-5744, CVE-2016-5874…). However, for most of the bugs it potentially takes more time to fix.
Bugs are good, but what can be better? Yes, backdoors! Let’s take a closer look on the backdoor techniques found in one interesting vendor: they do some stuff for industrial IoT and for general IT technologies (banking, telecommunication providers, crypto solutions etc). The backdoor is not the whole story – we will show how this vendor reacts and fixes critical bugs (SPOILER: silently fixes bug, no CVE assigned, no advisory published, sometimes impossible to patch, 7 month since the report). The most interesting thing is that this technique requires only legitimate software widely used everywhere.

What Mirai missed:
Mirai was elegantly simple; using default telnet credentials to compromise large numbers of devices. However, in the quest for simplicity, the author missed numerous more significant vulnerabilities. We have spent the last few months researching the security of >30 DVR brands and have made discoveries that make the Mirai telnet issue seem almost trivial by comparison. We discovered multiple vulnerabilities which we will share, including wormable remote code execution. We may also disclose a route to fix Mirai-compromised DVRs remotely. However, this method has the side effect of being usable by malicious actors to make Mirai persistent beyond a power off reboot. Further, we will show HOW and WHY we believe XiongMai is at the root cause of these issues, regardless of the DVR brand. Finally, we'll show examples of DVRs using the same base chipset as those vulnerable to Mirai, but doing security well.
The camera dildo:
What started as a serious piece of research got hijacked by the press because it was “a bit rude”. The real story wasn’t just that it could be compromised, but the work that went into reverse engineering it to find hidden services, reused code (from a camera drone), and the command injection which can be used to compromise the video stream.

We all know how vulnerable IoT devices are - but do we know if our home or industrial IoT devices are being attacked or already compromised? This talk focuses on creating an Intrusion Detection System for IoT devices using Wi-Fi to connect to the Internet. We will look at how to automatically fingerprint our IoT devices over the air and detect attacks such as Honeypots, MAC spoofing, DoS etc. We will also see how to do deep packet inspection and learn device behavior over the network (which hosts do they usually connect to, which protocols?, traffic characteristics?, heartbeat mechanisms? etc.) using simple Machine Learning techniques. We will show how this allows us to detect compromised devices which might now be controlled by a remote attacker. Our IDS will use an external sensor which will be build using open source tools and off-the-shelf hardware. All code will be open sourced after the talk.

As the previous Director of Security at companies like Linksys, Belkin, and Wink, I learned hard lessons about the pitfalls of PKI. This was especially true on IoT devices, where the responsibility was on consumers or site managers to update devices when security issues arose. I've experienced expired keys that killed device connections, private keys being accidentally dropped on consumer devices, and breaches that required replacing all keys on devices, servers, and user applications. That led me to create oneID, now called Neustar Trusted Device Identity (TDI), which is an open source framework that replaces PKI with one that has real-time revocation, key rotation, key reset/replacement, and individual identities for every device, server, service, and user. It starts with the premise that every server, service, network, device, and user will be compromised at some point, so we should start our security model with that assumption and build protection to limit that as much as possible. It specifically does not trust anything by default and trust continually has to be proven, rather than trusting and checking for revocation. It puts the SOC or NOC in control rather than the users or site managers.

What if I told you that Windows 3.x provided Data Execution Prevention and a crude form of Address Space Layout Randomization? The segmented memory model that made 16-bit x86 code difficult to program also complicates building an exploit. Blending nostalgia, retrofuturism, and plain curiosity into exploiting "weird" systems, I demonstrate what may be the first public writeup (try Googling for one) of a buffer overflow targeting a Windows 3.x application, complete with ROP chain and shellcode. Everyone loves a good exploit and demo or just shuffling program groups--so stop by for a look back into the four-megabyte era equipped with a copy of Visual Studio 1.52c and modern techniques.

Smart sex toys are a huge topic – and we’re not talking about their size! The Internet of Things (IoT) has triggered many personal items to become connected and smart, watches, toothbrushes, glasses and even toilets, to name just a few. The adult toy market has not been left behind with new models of toys that include the opportunity to connect them to the Internet and allow them to be remotely controlled.
IoT devices and their vulnerabilities are frequently discussed in the media, and sex toys are not the exception. Many of them have holes in them. Keep focused, we mean holes and bugs in the software. This is despite the sensitivity of the extremely personal information they handle.
We analyzed the security of the Android applications that control the most frequently purchased models of connected sexual pleasure devices, to determine the extent to which the confidentiality of user data could be vulnerable. Our research revealed interesting security flaws derived from both the implementation of the application and the design of the device, affecting the storage and processing of information.
If you’re one of the many users who have a smart sex toy connected to the internet, or plan to buy one, you cannot miss this talk, it may have you shaking in your seat. Our presentation may make you reconsider connecting it ever again or not purchasing one at all.

IoT device manufacturers have no idea what's running on their devices -- they really don't.
In 2002 then-US Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfield, brought public attention to a notion that information can be divided into three categories: known knowns, known unknowns, and unknown unknowns. As hackers, how can we apply this formulation to IoT vulnerabilities?
The known knowns: Vulnerabilities that have been explicitly discovered through scanning and testing. The known unknowns: Newly created software that has yet to undergo any application security testing. The unknown unknowns: Systems that the defender does not know about.
There is, in fact, a fourth dimension: unknown knowns, which comprise “that which we intentionally refuse to acknowledge that we know” or “do not like to know.”
The unknown knowns: Vulnerabilities that are known to exist, but that have not been associated with all the systems they actually affect.
In this talk, we report on IoT device vulnerability findings at massive scale, as a result of our firmware collection and analysis. For this research we have selected approximately 50k firmware images, representing over 7M files, 10k products, and 150 vendors, spanning many different architectures and operating systems. We will highlight some of the trends we've uncovered in supply chain vulnerabilities, and reveal specific examples of device backdoors, botnets, and vulnerabilities discovered in medical, home, and commercial device firmware.

Once limited to the realm of science fiction, robotics now plays a vital role in many industries, including manufacturing, agriculture, and even medicine. Despite this, the kind of robot that interfaces with people directly - outside of the occasional toy or vacuum - threatens to remain an inhabitant of fiction for the foreseeable future. Teleconference robots, a rapidly growing niche, may help make that fiction a reality. Robots such as these have found use in consumer, enterprise, retail, and even medical environments and some are even capable of autonomous movement. It’s precisely these features, however, that make them a valuable target for hackers. Unlike a simple camera exploit, compromising such a device would grant an attacker mobility in addition to audio/video, greatly increasing their ability to spy on victims in the most private of situations - their homes, medical appointments, or workplaces.

Not knowing when to quit, McAfee Advanced Threat Research uncovered four 0-day vulnerabilities in a popular teleconference robot. We’ll show how an attacker armed with nothing besides the victim’s phone number could exploit these vulnerabilities to intercept or join an existing call, gain access to the robot’s camera and microphone, and even achieve “owner” privileges, granting the ability to remotely control the robot - all with zero authentication.

Smart-devices are anywhere, connecting lights, AC, cameras and even heat-sensors. They present a weak spot in which hackers can hack and learn about internal network-configuration, change arbitrary controllers, and lead to high physical & software damage. In our scenario, thousands of HDL smart devices could have been exploited & remotely controlled in the wild. 4 unique vulnerabilities have been found and presented here - We show how they can be utilized by a sophisticated attacker to stealth-access smart-devices remotely, change, control and take advantage of their data. Also, we show how a full data-extraction of smart-devices managing accounts: private data and credentials could have been extracted as well. This unique attack scenario demonstrates the high-security impact of deploying IoT devices over any organization, especially when using dedicated IoT hardware and proprietary components which are interconnected and even remotely managed.

From smart home devices to smart cars, IoT actually gave us our “connected world”, but maybe not a “Safe” one. Imagine all your smart devices on your home network being controlled by someone on the other side of the world, your smart TVs, smart lights, baby monitors, routers, printers, workspace surveillance cameras, and literally everything else!
This talk explores how the methods of manipulating domain name resolution can be used to exploit and remotely take over most of the connected devices in a private network. We will talk about how it can be used to scan a private network externally for IoT devices, and how it can put even private devices open to the public!
We will cover some tools that can be used to takeover a device and exfiltrate the data of a victim under a minute with minimum user interaction. We demonstrate how the data can be exfiltrated and used to perform unwanted actions on the victim's devices from anywhere in the world.
We furthermore, talk about methods of prevention and best practices that a developer and product designer can consider to protect their devices against such attacks.
So if you're a pentester or a developer we've got something for everyone!

While researching UPnP vulnerabilities I became frustrated with the currently available UPnP tools. Some devices that I knew had UPnP just weren't found with any of the tools I tried. Out of this frustration, came a new and improved BHunter extension for Burp Suite. In this lightning talk I'll go over some of the issues I found and the improvements made to it, and I'll give a demo of the tool in action.
