Reverse Engineering IoT Devices
- throwaway2016a 9y agoFrom the article: > The fact that this bulb is not using TCP/IP based protocol for communication makes it little hard to reverse engineer, I mean c’mon if it was suppose to be on my home network, things would be bit easier isn’t it, I can just use it’s MAC or IP to sniff and dump packets in a PCAP file to be later analyzed with Wireshark, it could have been cryptic but easy to sniff, Basically a Man in the Middle sort of thing, even a simple CLI tcpdump would also work I like having everything controlled from one app and proprietary apps drive me nuts. This is how I reverse engineered most of the things in my house (including the alarm system). It works surprisingly well.
