Hacking Your Family's Connected Things

OR… HOW IOT IS JUST

A LOT OF INSECURE WEB SERVICES

A Mess of Dependencies and Attack Surface• Many IoT devices leverage third-party services, firmware, and software

• Some vendors put a lot of trust in their supply chain without testing security

• Implementation errors or failure to comply with best practices also occurs

• Complex ecosystems means that there are plenty of ways to screw up:

• Mobile applications, cloud services, backend services, web applications, firmware, hardware, network protocols, wireless protocols, & cryptography

• It’s difficult for a single IoT vendor to be proficient in security across all of it

• The frameworks, protocols, and design patterns of IoT are still very much in flux

SO, HOW DO WE HACK THESE THINGS?

Via Dumping Firmware

Pomona SOIC Clip + Bus Pirate flashrom to Dump Flash

binwalk to Extract Filesystems

Hash Cracking with cudaHashcat

Scouring Google for Useful Details

Via Brute Force of Various Means

JTagulator (or Bus Pirate, Shikra, etc.)

U-Boot Configuration

UART Scan & Connect

Via Serial Console (UART)

Via JTAG (e.g. Dumping Memory via GDB)

Acquire Firmware with dex2jar + JD-GUI for Android

View API Calls with mitmproxy (esp. SSL/TLS)

Find API End-Points with Clutch + strings for iOS

Via Mobile Applications

View Protocol Details with wireshark

Uncover Network Services with nmap

Disabled Doesn’t Quite Mean What it Used To

After a stream exists, “disabling” it via the app doesn’t actually stop it…

20 Minutes Later… The Stream Still Works!

When Obfuscation Goes Wrong, or, Not at All?

At first, this looks like a really poor attempt at an obfuscation method to “hide” the password for this web service account.On further review, however, the mchunk method simply returns at the start of the for loop, yielding the output from the input to be a concatenation of “ff” and the integer passed as a parameter.Was this obfuscation intended to be enabled? Did someone give up on their dream of confusing reverse engineers? The world may never know…

Philips In.Sight B120/37

Everything Old is New Again…My IZON Research - 2013 My InSight Research - 2015

The question is…

Did security issues fixed by one camera manufacturer ever trickle into devices also leveraging the same firmware?

Shout out to Paul Price for his research into the In.Sight M100 which shares a few issues from my old Stem Innovation IZON research and subsequent research into the In.Sight B120. Check out his site detailing this and other research at ifc0nfig.com!

HTTP Reverse Proxy

When a remote end user requests their camera’s stream, an HTTP reverse proxy is opened on a public host & port number, directly to the camera’s backend web service, allowing for a remote attacker to achieve the following:

✦Unauthenticated and unencrypted video/audio stream access to the user’s camera

✦Full administrative access to the camera’s powerful backend web service

✦ This includes manipulating camera configuration or even re-enabling Telnet

Finding Exposed Cameras on the InternetThe reverse proxy is setup by the stream provider, Yoics, and has a finite number of enumerable hostnames, each with about ~30,000 possible ports that may be utilized.While this may seem like a lot, an attacker could test this entire range every minute to look for exposed cameras with a simple script or perhaps something powerful like zmap.

Unencrypted, Unauthenticated Remote Camera Access

Now “Friends” Can Remotely Enable Telnet For You! :)

Important API Calls Found to Be Vulnerable

✦ 12 mobile-API calls were determined to not properly authorize that the requesting session was appropriate to create, read, update, and/or delete aspects of customer accounts, profiles, and toys

✦ Outcome? Information leaks, toy hijacking, and account alteration

What’s the Actual Result of This?

✦ Steal every child’s profile data, which includes their name, date of birth, gender, spoken language, and associated toys

✦ Hijack every child’s toy and make the toy perform built-in activities on demand, without the parent or child’s consent

✦ Create, alter, or delete profiles under a customer’s account, which associates to toys and will appear in the mobile app

✦ Leak information about the current activity of the child and/or parent through status indicators provided via the device & app

Altering a Profile’s Details via the Mobile API

Mostly Harmless, But Really Disconcerting to a Parent

Thinking Like a Developer… for Bad Things

Sending My User’s Session and ID? Red flag!

User Account Creation

<- My User ID

User Session Creation

<- My Session

<- My User ID<- My Session

Inviting a New User to my ‘Family’ via the API

<- My User ID

What’s Wrong, Exactly?✦ It’s at least weird that an API request with a user’s session (token)

would also send that user’s ID — it’s pretty redundant ✦ If we have a session, the backend already knows the user ID

✦ Often when a request is sent with redundant information, it may mean that the developer is trusting a user-specified parameter that should otherwise be determined by the authorized session

✦ May be a simple developer mistake of using user-controlled data (e.g. $post.userId) versus service-controlled (e.g. $session.userId)

Understanding the Attack Workflow

Email, Email, What-What, the Email

The Attacker is Invited by Pawn

Pawn is Told the Attacker Accepted

Target is Told Attacker was Added

Worried about that last email? We control the user’s name….“THIS IS A SYSTEM TEST, PLEASE IGNORE, joined your family as a friend” :)
