Embedded devices are set to take centre stage in the coming internet connected revolution where anything and everything will be connected to the internet. But are the Devices, Operating Systems, Protocols and Services mature enough for what the future holds for them? This session looks at the requirements of an internet connected embedded device and the necessary protocols and services required and available, then, it goes into some implications of the currently known vulnerabilities. This lecture is based on my work in compiling a database of embedded devices, their models with operating systems (and versions), with protocols (and versions), and services (and their versions) together with vulnerabilities and the current known research on them. I will use Networked CCTV Systems as an example of network connected systems and how they can be used inappropriately to gain access.
