Security Test Cybercriminals can break into any connected system. Traditionally, IT systems with their many open interfaces had been in the focus of attackers, while embedded systems were perceived to be too difficult to hack and not worth the time and energy required. But as systems have added Ethernet, WLAN, USB, Bluetooth, GPS, and other connectivity features, the number of attack surfaces has increased. The most popular hacking method involves attacking a diagnosis port, or otherwise open interface, which can give a malevolent party access to functions or, at least, the ability to corrupt data and prohibit performance such as denialofservice attacks.

Bridging The Gap: Data Exfiltration In Highly Secured Environments Using Bluetooth IoTs IoT devices introduce unprecedented threats into home and professional networks. As they fail to adhere to security best practices, they are broadly exploited by malicious actors to build botnets or steal sensitive information. Their adoption challenges established security standard as classic security measures are often inappropriate to secure them. This is even more problematic in sensitive environments where the presence of insecure IoTs can be exploited to bypass strict security policies. In this paper, we demonstrate an attack against a highly secured network using a Bluetooth smart bulb. This attack allows a malicious actor to take advantage of a smart bulb to exfiltrate data from an air gapped network.
