OWASP Birmingham IoT Hackathon

If you came to the OWASP Brum chapter meeting last night, it was great to see you. If you didn’t here’s what you missed…

Ken (@TheKenMunroShow) opened with some background on the research we’ve done to date and Dave (@tautology0) delivered a primer on hardware hacking and reverse engineering with the dubious help of a Furby, to help get everyone up to speed.

The kit we brought along for breaking researching was:

  • Smarter iKettles 1 and 2
  • Smarter Coffee machines
  • FitBit Aria scales
  • Hoover Wizard smart oven
  • Sphero BB-8
  • Hello Barbie
  • My Friend Freddy Bear
  • My Friend Cayla

Yes, fun was had, as well as making more progress with the iKettle 2.0.

***It looks like we may have a method for a super-heated drive-by iKettle attack. Watch this space.***
