IoT is currently broken when we talk about security. We've seen this over and over at almost every security conference. The lack of standards, poor understanding of basic security practices tied into the explosion of smart devices are just a few of the key variables that factor into a scary picture of the future.
However, so far, most demos relied on proximity to the targeted device.
In this talk, we'll show our findings on a popular smart device from a known vendor, methods used during our research and, of course, demonstrate how, by leveraging the vendor cloud, the device can be both controlled by a remote attacker as well as hacked all the way to a root shell. All remotely and with the device "safely" behind NAT and with a private IP address.
