Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices make our lives convenient and that makes them more prevalent every day. In this course, you'll learn about IoT and its main components, as well as IoT architecture, deployment areas, protocols, communication models, and security challenges. The best way to effectively attack IoT devices is to be familiar with the common threats and vulnerabilities, so next you'll explore these areas. Finally, you'll examine common attacks and hacking tools that you can use to gain access to IoT devices, as well as defensive countermeasures you can employ to protect against those attacks and tools. This course is one in a series that helps to prepare you for the Certified Ethical Hacker v11 (312-50) exam.
