Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v11) — Question 348

John, a professional hacker, targeted CyberSol Inc., an MNC. He decided to discover the IoT devices connected in the target network that are using default credentials and are vulnerable to various hijacking attacks. For this purpose, he used an automated tool to scan the target network for specific types of IoT devices and detect whether they are using the default, factory-set credentials.
What is the tool employed by John in the above scenario?

Answer options

• A. IoT Inspector
• B. AT&T IoT Platform
• C. IoTSeeker
• D. Azure IoT Central

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, IoTSeeker, which is specifically designed to discover IoT devices with default credentials. Options A, B, and D do not focus on scanning for devices with default settings, making them unsuitable for John's specific needs in this scenario.
