Visiting A “Legal Hacker” Who Finds Cracks In IoT Security
Summary
In a conference room off Bastille’s roomy office, Seeber showed me the inexpensive arsenal of weapons used in the particular kind of cyberattack he studies.But the simple radio’s sophisticated cousins—what could be called smart radios—have freed the Internet from cables and sent packets of information flying through the air via wireless channels.They’re called software defined radios (SDRs), and they’re packed into smartphones, tablets, and the growing ranks of connected household devices including dolls, kitchen appliances, light bulbs, and door locks.He shows me on his laptop screen the scrolling flux of green lines and dots that represent the radio frequency traffic he has intercepted from the many computers and other machines humming inside the Bastille office.He outlines one compressed set of lines with his cursor, and expands his selection on the screen into a visible green block to explore the message being sent.
