Complex IoT systems could have security vulnerabilities that are hard to spot in time. IoT penetration testing or pen testing simulating a cyber attack can reveal these weaknesses before a real attack. Common challenges include weak passwords, insecure network services, outdated components, and insecure data storage and transfer. Pen testing involves planning, scanning the system, gaining access by exploiting vulnerabilities, testing the duration of this access, and analyzing results.
