• IoT Testing Guides
• Top IoT Vulnerabilities

OWASP Internet of Things (IoT) Project Oxford defines the Internet of Things as: “A proposed development of the Internet in which everyday objects have network connectivity, allowing them to send and receive data.” The OWASP Internet of Things Project is designed to help manufacturers, developers, and consumers better understand the security issues associated with the Internet of Things, and to enable users in any context to make better security decisions when building, deploying, or assessing IoT technologies. The project looks to define a structure for various IoT sub-projects such as Attack Surface Areas, Testing Guides and Top Vulnerabilities.

The OWASP IoT Attack Surface Areas (DRAFT) are as follows:

Attack Surface	Vulnerability
Ecosystem Access Control	Implicit trust between components Enrollment security Decommissioning system Lost access procedures
Device Memory	Cleartext usernames Cleartext passwords Third-party credentials Encryption keys
Device Physical Interfaces	Firmware extraction User CLI Admin CLI Privilege escalation Reset to insecure state
Device Web Interface	SQL injection Cross-site scripting Username enumeration Weak passwords Account lockout Known credentials
Device Firmware	Hardcoded passwords Sensitive URL disclosure Encryption keys
Device Network Services	Information disclosure User CLI Administrative CLI Injection Denial of Service
Administrative Interface	SQL injection Cross-site scripting Username enumeration Weak passwords Account lockout Known credentials
Local Data Storage	Unencrypted data Data encrypted with discovered keys Lack of data integrity checks
Cloud Web Interface	SQL injection Cross-site scripting Username enumeration Weak passwords Account lockout Known credentials
Third-party Backend APIs	Unencrypted PII sent Encrypted PII sent Device information leaked Location leaked
Update Mechanism	Update sent without encryption Updates not signed Update location writable
Mobile Application	Implicitly trusted by device or cloud Known credentials Insecure data storage Lack of transport encryption
Vendor Backend APIs	Inherent trust of cloud or mobile application Weak authentication Weak access controls Injection attacks
Ecosystem Communication	Health checks Heartbeats Ecosystem commands Deprovisioning Pushing updates
Network Traffic	LAN LAN to Internet Short range Non-standard
