Smart Home Hacking

This intensive 3-day course equips cybersecurity professionals with the hands-on offensive skills required to master Smart Home Hacking across modern connected household environments. Through guided labs and real-device exploitation, participants will learn how to discover and weaponize vulnerabilities in smart locks, cameras, hubs, sensors, and appliances to simulate real-world intrusions.

The training begins with foundational concepts such as smart home architecture, wireless automation protocols (Zigbee, Z-Wave, LoRa, BLE), and platforms like Home Assistant. Students will explore weaknesses in routers, smart plugs, and embedded systems such as the Nordic Semiconductor nRF52840. From there, the course dives deep into practical exploitation, including command injection in NAS devices, malware behavior in smart ecosystems, and full compromise of home automation flows.

Participants will gain hands-on experience with tools like Ghost Framework, ADB, and Wireshark to compromise smart environments, extract credentials, hijack devices, and analyze persistent threats like Mirai and BadBox. Special attention is given to protocol abuse (e.g., MQTT), covert device control, and evasion of standard security measures in home networks.

By the end of the course, students will confidently perform offensive operations against smart home systems, analyze attack surfaces across consumer-grade devices, and trace malicious behavior at the protocol and device level. This course is essential for red teamers, pentesters, and security researchers specializing in Smart Home Hacking.
