CVF 2089 - Internet of Things Hacking Credits: 3 Hours/Week: Lecture 2 Lab 2 Course Description: This course builds on the topics covered in CVF 2086 and CVF 2088. This class will focus on how cybercriminals identify and abuse weaknesses found on Internet of Things (IoT) devices. IoT devices can include internet connected web cameras, refrigerators, sprinkler systems, beds, and much more. This course includes how cybercriminals identify and abuse issues in IoT devices to include API weaknesses, wireless attacks, mobile application attacks, finding sensitive data in the cloud, and escalating privileges on compromised devices. Hands on labs will be used to ensure students finish the course with practical skills to take to the work place. MnTC Goals None
