Staying Ahead of Threats: Real Time Autonomous Penetration Testing with Embedded Vulnerability Assessment Process for Iot Devices

Abstract

- IoT devices has many security challenges due to default passwords, weak encryption, outdated software, and insecure physical security. These vulnerabilities can lead to unauthorized access, data leaks, and exploitation by hackers. Improving these concerns is crucial to ensure the safety and privacy of users by making strong security protocols and regular updates essential in IoT device development. The project deals with the penetration testing of the IoT Devices using Wifite2 tool and adding a vulnerability scanner for further improvements in terms of security concerns in IoT devices like smart home gadgets, wearables, industrial sensors, and more. It comes under the IoT Cybersecurity field and deals with the embedded Vulnerability and Penetration Testing on IoT Devices. It is one of the types of software testing tools used to penetrate and know the password of a certain selected network. The project is experimented on IoT Devices as IoT devices are everywhere in our day-to-day life. Specifically, here it deals with the IoT Home security Model. The project's main objective is to improve the security of IoT devices as they are very vulnerable and exploitable. This project gives accurate and detailed information on the vulnerabilities found from the scanning process. The methodology used is penetration test using wifite2 in kali Linux as a virtual machine on a system. The next methodology deals with the vulnerability scanner and its results in text form.
