Traditional IoT botnets operate pretty much like shooting fish in a barrel. With an elephant gun. This "space", however, is getting crowded and botnet masters will start looking for alternatives. This talk will show one of the possible futures - leveraging cloud platforms to mass hack hundreds of thousands of devices. We'll start with a quick 'n dirty crash course for those just getting started with IoT hacking, a brief glimpse into the current status of IoT botnets and get down to business with showing our research on a few popular IoTs with demos for each finding.
