IoT & Embedded Device Penetration Testing

IoT penetration testing is a crucial step to secure modern devices in an increasingly connected world. The Internet of Things is one of the fastest-growing technologies - and also one of the most vulnerable. Our services include professional testing of IoT components including hardware, firmware, communication protocols, and cloud interfaces.

We cover the full lifecycle - from design to deployment. Our assessments include wireless communication protocols, update mechanisms, physical device security, cloud integrations, and application interfaces - providing a complete view of risks across your IoT ecosystem.

IoT and embedded systems penetration testing

Key Areas of IoT Penetration Testing

Embedded Systems

We analyze security of operating systems and firmware, bootloaders, memory management, user authentication, and system integrity. We look for issues such as buffer overflows and weak cryptography.

Firmware & Updates

We verify update-security mechanisms - authentication, encryption, and file integrity. We perform binary analysis to uncover backdoors and reverse-engineering opportunities.

Wireless Communication

Testing spans Bluetooth, Zigbee, LoRa, RFID, NFC, and Wi-Fi. We analyze ciphers, resilience to MITM and replay attacks, and risks of unauthorized access.

Hardware Penetration Testing

We conduct physical-security tests, including access to JTAG, UART, SWD, and anti-tamper analysis. We also assess supply-chain vulnerabilities affecting device trustworthiness.

IoT Ecosystem & Cloud

We test device connections to cloud backends, APIs, and mobile apps - focusing on authorization, authentication, session management, and data protection across the entire chain.

Who is IoT pentesting for?

  • IoT manufacturers and OEM partners
  • Software developers and IoT solution integrators
  • Industrial sectors using SCADA and IIoT
  • Startups working with embedded technologies

IoT Penetration Testing Process

  1. Collect technical documentation and architectural design
  2. Disassembly and physical testing of the device (where available)
  3. Analyze firmware, wireless and network components
  4. Test application layers - APIs, mobile apps, cloud
  5. Deliver a detailed report with findings and remediation guidance

FAQ

The duration depends on the size and complexity of the environment. A small web application can take 3–5 days, while a full network test may take 1–3 weeks. During the initial phase we’ll provide a transparent time and effort estimate.

Pricing depends on scope, size, and complexity. A basic web-app test may start in the hundreds of euros, while larger networks or cloud environments will cost more. After a consultation, we’ll prepare a no-obligation quote.

Ideally at least once a year. You should also run a pentest after major changes - launching a new application, migrating to the cloud, or updating infrastructure. Regular testing helps maintain security and compliance.

You’ll receive a comprehensive report including an executive summary, technical findings, risk ratings, impact analysis, and clear remediation recommendations. We also offer a review session to explain the results and answer your questions.
