Hands-On Demonstrations and Labs

IoT Village—Hacking 101
IoT Hacking 101 is a set of quick, hands-on labs developed to teach the tools and techniques for discovering and exploiting some of the common weaknesses found in IoT devices today. Whether you're a penetration tester that has never hacked IoT devices or even someone that has never hacked anything(!), these self-guided labs will walk you through all the steps from analyzing router firmware, finding hidden backdoors, enumerating devices and performing remote exploits. Students work at their own pace following our IoT Hacking 101 guides, and instructors are on hand in the IoT Village Discord to provide assistance as needed and answer any questions. Available all day!
