IOT Penetration Testing Services In India
IoT Penetration Testing
IoT Penetration Testing (IoT Pentest) focuses on evaluating and exploiting various components present in an IoT device solution, enhancing the device’s safety and security. At HostShield, we ensure the security of your IoT devices and networks to protect sensitive information.
Secure your IoT devices and networks to safeguard sensitive information:
The Internet of Things (IoT) encompasses a network of interconnected devices, vehicles, buildings, and electronic devices that exchange data among themselves. An IoT Pentest aims to identify vulnerabilities across different layers to safeguard the entire IoT environment. The assessment targets hardware (electronics), software (embedded software, communication protocols), APIs, web interfaces, and mobile interfaces. Our comprehensive audit ensures the robustness and security of your IoT ecosystem.
Device Interoperability Testing
HostShield conducts testing to evaluate the integration of multiple devices, the transmission between devices and the cloud, as well as testing interoperability with various IoT protocols.
Performance & Load Testing
Analyzing behavior in different states, such as intermittent connectivity, network bandwidth variance, packet loss, etc., and conducting load simulations.
Security & Data Privacy Testing
Conducting security testing across all interfaces of the IoT system to identify insecure network services, data privacy issues, and weaknesses in transport encryption.
API Testing
Ensuring validation of distinct external interfaces and validation of services and integration layer.
User Experience Testing
Performing functionality validation, testing user experience under different application conditions, ensuring usability and accessibility, and evaluating user experience across various channels.
End to End Functional Testing
Validating functional components such as devices, communication, cloud, web applications, analytics engine, and device applications, and conducting end-to-end system testing.
Analytics Validation
Conducting ISMS Risk Assessments aligned with the UAE National Cyber Risk Management Framework.
Communication Validation
ISMS Risk Assessments are carried out in accordance with the UAE National Cyber Risk Management Framework.
End to End Functional Testing
Validating functional components such as devices, communication, cloud, web applications, analytics engine, and device applications, and conducting end-to-end system testing.

IOT Security Testing Approach
Attack Surface Mapping
Our team creates a comprehensive architecture diagram of the IoT infrastructure, facilitating the identification of
Firmware Reverse Engineering And Binary Exploitation
Our security analysts engage in reverse engineering the utility software to uncover potential sensitive information. This involves de-compilation of application binaries, reverse engineering of firmware binaries, analysis of encryption and obfuscation techniques, and more.
Hardware-Based Exploitation
During the exploitation phase, our team attempts to gain control of IoT devices and conducts a Proof of Concept (PoC) manipulation of IoT network services. This involves assessing hardware communication and protocols, tampering with protection mechanisms, exploiting wireless protocols, and targ
eting vulnerabilities in APIs, among other typical actions.
Web, Mobile And Cloud Vulnerabilities
During this phase, we focus on exploiting web application and API vulnerabilities, both hosted and cloud-based, which includes vulnerabilities listed in the OWASP Top 10. Additionally, we also target vulnerabilities in desktop and mobile applications.
Reporting
We will furnish a comprehensive IoT Penetration Testing report containing all findings and associated remediation actions required to eliminate the identified vulnerabilities or patch them to appropriate levels.
Radio Security Analysis
At HostShield, we conduct an assessment of radio communication protocols, sniff radio packets transmitted and received, modify and replay packets for device takeover attacks, perform jamming-based attacks, access encryption keys, reverse engineer radio communication for proprietary protocols, and exploit protocol-specific vulnerabilities.
PII Data Security Analysis
The analysis ensures that customer data is maintained with the utmost security standards, guaranteeing that no Personally Identifiable Information (PII) leaks through any communication channels. We also perform an additional assessment of data-at-rest and data-at-transit, providing you with a PII report.
Re-Assessment
Following the security patch, our team conducts a comprehensive re-assessment of the entire scope to ensure that all issues have been resolved and no new vulnerabilities exist.
