Attackers are targeting IoT devices and compromising them for nefarious operations such as malware infections and building botnets. In this talk, we discuss the threat model of command-and-control (C&C) panels of IoT devices and show how these are compromised and used for different sets of attacks, such as targeted and broad-based infections. This talk is primarily structured to demonstrate attacks that are happening via IoT devices running in the wild.

The demonstrations will highlight: detecting and compromising IoT C&C panels, and live attacks executing from the compromised IoT devices as launchpads. We will dissect more than 10 C&C panels related to different IoT botnets to dissect infections. The demonstration will help the audience to understand the IoT threats occurring in real time.
