Ethical Hacking of an IoT-device: Threat Assessment and Penetration Testing : A Survey on Security of a Smart Refrigerator
Internet of things (IoT) devices are becoming more prevalent. Due to a rapidly growing market of these appliances, improper security measures lead to an expanding range of attacks. There is a devoir of testing and securing these devices to contribute to a more sustainable society. This thesis has ev...
