Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v12) — Question 258

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 identify IoT devices and check for default credentials. Options A, B, and D are platforms or tools that do not focus on scanning for default credentials in IoT devices, making them unsuitable for this particular task.
