OWASP IoT Attack Surface Areas (DRAFT)
Oxford defines the Internet of Things as: “A proposed development of the Internet in which everyday objects have network connectivity, allowing them to send and receive data.”

The OWASP Internet of Things (IoT) Attack Surface Areas is a project designed to help manufacturers, developers, and consumers better understand the security issues associated with the Internet of Things, and to enable users in any context to make better security decisions when building, deploying, or assessing IoT technologies.

The project defines the attack surface areas presented by IoT systems, and provides information on threat agents, attack vectors, vulnerabilities, and impacts associated with each. In addition, the project aims to provide practical security recommendations for builders, breakers, and users of IoT systems.

What is the OWASP IoT Attack Surface Areas?
The OWASP IoT Attack Surface Areas provide:


 * A list of IoT Attack Surface Areas
 * A list of basic recommendations for manufacturers, developers, and consumers

For each attack surface areas, the following sections are included:


 * A description of the attack surface
 * Threat agents
 * Attack vectors
 * Security weaknesses
 * Technical impacts
 * Business impacts
 * Example vulnerabilities
 * Example attacks
 * Guidance on how to avoid the issue
 * References to OWASP and other related resources

For each role in Manufacturers, Developers, and Consumer, the following recommendations are included:


 * For each IN category, list the top few considerations that should be observed in that context

Introduction
Oxford defines the Internet of Things as “a proposed development of the Internet in which everyday objects have network connectivity, allowing them to send and receive data.”

The OWASP IoT Attack Surface Areas is a project designed to help vendors who are interested in making common appliances and gadgets network/Internet accessible. The project walks through the top ten security problems that are seen with IoT devices, and how to prevent them.

Examples of IoT Devices: Cars, lighting systems, refrigerators, telephones, SCADA systems, traffic control systems, home security systems, TVs, DVRs, etc…
