Computer_Security Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I am a complete noob when it comes to hardware but I would love to start vulnerability testing pieces of hardware to learn more. I have a tenvis IP camera and was wondering where you guys would suggest me to start researching or where to start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoregem Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Before even opening it up, I'd recommend port scanning it. Some devices have open telnet ports that you can connect to, sometimes with no password or a factory preset one. You could try bruteforcing it, but opening it up might be easier. I'd recommend searching the net before attempting to brute force it; most of the time, somebodies tried to get into it before you. Next, open it up. Look for serial connections (rx, tx and gnd). You're going to need some tools. Me and a few of my friends compiled this list of electronics from china. You want the CP2102 or the usb to serial adapter. They're the same thing, and you can pick one up for around $2. Often, when you connect over serial, you'll get a root shell on the device. From there, it's up to you. IIRC, samy kamkar has a pretty good talk on this at Hackaday Superconductor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
