Abusing the Internet of Things

TIP

FIGURE 4-1. The SmartSense Multi Sensor

FIGURE 4-2. The SmartThings Hub

The SmartThings Hub uses the ZigBee protocol to communicate with the nearby devices. The focus of

this chapter is to evaluate security design by analyzing the SmartThings app and the development

environment. See Chapter 1 to learn how to capture and analyze ZigBee data.

The SmartThings app can be used to configure SmartThings devices and check their sta-
tus. In Figure 4-3, the app shows that the SmartPower Outlet is toggled on and that the door
to which the SmartSense Multi Sensor is attached is closed.
