I’m actually not a fan of loud statements like “the best framework for IoT pentesting,” because usually behind this lies either another list of not very well-thought-out scripts, or a Python crutch with three commands. But here I came across a framework that I really want to highlight - IoT-PT v1

The guys from IoT-PTv have put together a tool that helps test the security of IoT devices at different levels. From regular fingerprinting to exploiting firmware, scanning services, analyzing protocols and reverse binaries. All this is wrapped in a logical architecture, with separate modules for each type of testing. And it really works. Doesn't look like a conference demo, but feels like something you've been sitting on for a really long time 💯

Everything runs on Linux, uses Python and Bash, and depends on a dozen classic utilities such as nmap, tshark, binwalk, gqrx and others. The documentation describes examples, flow, you can expand it to suit your tasks - and most importantly, everything is open source

Personally, I liked that the framework does not just collect existing tools, but makes them part of a single pipeline. That is, you don’t switch between a million tools manually, but can build a sequence of actions within one system. It saves time and nerves ⏱

IoT-PT v1 looks like a case where you don't have to jump through 20 different repositories to find the tools you need. I just downloaded one and went to break the hardware. And that's cool
