IoTHackBot

Open-source IoT security testing toolkit with integrated Claude Code skills for automated vulnerability discovery.

Overview

IoTHackBot is a collection of specialized tools and Claude Code skills designed for security testing of IoT devices, IP cameras, and embedded systems. It provides both command-line tools and AI-assisted workflows for comprehensive IoT security assessments.

Tools Included

Network Discovery & Reconnaissance

• wsdiscovery - WS-Discovery protocol scanner for discovering ONVIF cameras and IoT devices
• iotnet - IoT network traffic analyzer for detecting protocols and vulnerabilities
• netflows - Network flow extractor with DNS hostname resolution from pcap files
• nmap (skill) - Professional network reconnaissance with two-phase scanning strategy

Device-Specific Testing

• onvifscan - ONVIF device security scanner
  • Authentication bypass testing
  • Credential brute-forcing

Firmware & File Analysis

• chipsec (skill) - UEFI/BIOS firmware static analysis

  • Detect known rootkits (LoJax, ThinkPwn, HackingTeam)
  • Generate EFI executable inventories with hashes
  • Decode firmware structure and extract NVRAM

• ffind - Advanced file finder with type detection and filesystem extraction

  • Identifies artifact file types
  • Extracts ext2/3/4 and F2FS filesystems
  • Designed for firmware analysis

Android Analysis

• apktool (skill) - APK unpacking and resource extraction

  • Decode AndroidManifest.xml
  • Extract resources, layouts, strings
  • Disassemble to smali code

• jadx (skill) - APK decompilation

  • Convert DEX to readable Java source
  • Search for hardcoded credentials
  • Analyze app logic

Hardware & Console Access

• picocom (skill) - IoT UART console interaction for hardware testing

  • Bootloader manipulation
  • Shell enumeration
  • Firmware extraction
  • Includes Python helper script for automated interaction

• telnetshell (skill) - IoT telnet shell interaction

  • Unauthenticated shell testing
  • Device enumeration
  • BusyBox command handling
  • Includes Python helper script and pre-built enumeration scripts

Installation

Prerequisites

# Python dependencies
pip install colorama pyserial pexpect requests

# System dependencies (Arch Linux)
sudo pacman -S nmap e2fsprogs f2fs-tools python python-pip inetutils

# For other distributions, install equivalent packages

Setup

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/BrownFineSecurity/iothackbot.git
cd iothackbot

2. Add the bin directory to your PATH:

export PATH="$PATH:$(pwd)/bin"

3. For permanent setup, add to your shell configuration:

echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/iothackbot/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc

Usage

Quick Start Examples

Discover ONVIF Devices

wsdiscovery 192.168.1.0/24

Test ONVIF Device Security

onvifscan auth http://192.168.1.100
onvifscan brute http://192.168.1.100

Analyze Network Traffic

# Analyze PCAP file for IoT protocols
iotnet capture.pcap

# Live capture
sudo iotnet -i eth0 -d 60

Extract Network Flows

# Extract flows from device with DNS resolution
netflows capture.pcap --source-ip 192.168.1.100

# Get just hostname:port list
netflows capture.pcap -s 192.168.1.100 --format quiet

Analyze Firmware

# Identify file types
ffind firmware.bin

# Extract filesystems (requires sudo)
sudo ffind firmware.bin -e

Plugin Installation

Option 1: Use directly during development

claude --plugin-dir /path/to/iothackbot

Option 2: Install as local marketplace (persistent)

Add to ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "extraKnownMarketplaces": {
    "iothackbot-local": {
      "source": {
        "source": "directory",
        "path": "/path/to/iothackbot"

    }
  },
  "enabledPlugins": {
    "iothackbot": true
  }
}

Then restart Claude Code for the settings to take effect.

Option 3: Project-specific setup
