Hacking IoT Baby Monitors Mark Stanislav, Sr. Security Consultant
What Does an Internet-Connected Monitor Offer? Connected Features (via a Web Site and/or a Mobile Application) Viewing a live stream locally (the home s Wi-Fi) or remotely (Internet) Controlling the camera s position via pan, tilt, and zoom functionality Communicating audio through the monitor (i.e. two-way audio) Playing music or other recorded audio clips (i.e. bring your own lullabies) Manage device preferences such as the audio volume and night vision Share access and provide privileges to other people (e.g. family, friends) Access recordings for humidity, temperature, noise, and/or motion alerts Remote (e.g. SaaS, FTP) and local (e.g. Micro SD) DVR recordings
A Mess of Dependencies and Attack Surface Many IoT baby monitors leverage third-party services, firmware, and software Some vendors put a lot of trust in their supply chain without testing security Implementation errors or failure to comply with best practices also occurs Complex ecosystems means that there are plenty of ways to screw up: Mobile applications, cloud services, backend services, web applications, firmware, hardware, network protocols, wireless protocols, & cryptography It s difficult for a single IoT vendor to be proficient in security across all of it The frameworks, protocols, and design patterns of IoT are still very much in flux
SO, HOW DO WE HACK THESE THINGS?
Via Dumping Firmware Pomona SOIC Clip + Bus Pirate flashrom to Dump Flash binwalk to Extract Filesystems
Via Brute Force of Various Means Hash Cracking with cudahashcat Scouring Google for Useful Details
Via Serial Console (UART) JTagulator (or Bus Pirate, Shikra, etc.) U-Boot Configuration UART Scan & Connect
Via JTAG (e.g. Dumping Memory via GDB) Not a baby monitor but you get the idea!
Find API End-Points with Clutch + strings for ios Via Mobile Applications Acquire Firmware with dex2jar + JD-GUI for Android View API Calls with mitmproxy (esp. SSL/TLS)
Via Network Analysis Uncover Network Services with nmap View Protocol Details with wireshark
Via Web Applications Hidden Administrative Web Interface XSS on Camera Cloud Web Service

THE FINDINGS
Withings WBP01 - $204.60
Disabled Doesn t Quite Mean What it Used To 20 Minutes Later The Stream Still Works! After a stream exists, disabling it via the app doesn t actually stop it
When Obfuscation Goes Wrong, or, Not at All? At first, this looks like a really poor attempt at an obfuscation method to hide the password for this web service account. On further review, however, the mchunk method simply returns at the start of the for loop, yielding the output from the input to be a concatenation of ff and the integer passed as a parameter. Was this obfuscation intended to be enabled? Did someone give up on their dream of confusing reverse engineers? The world may never know

Philips In.Sight B120/37
Everything Old is New Again My IZON Research - 2013 My InSight Research - 2015 The question is Did security issues fixed by one camera manufacturer ever trickle into devices also leveraging the same firmware?
A Quick Look at Old Security Issues Still There No SSL on Backend Web Service Insecure Firmware Upgrade Process Multiple Hardcoded Linux Accounts Telnet Enabled by Default (Until Recently) Shout out to Paul Price for his research into the In.Sight M100 which shares a few issues from my old Stem Innovation IZON research and subsequent research into the In.Sight B120. Check out his site detailing this and other research at ifc0nfig.com!
A Few Newer Issues. But Wait, There s More! :) Backdoor Telnet Enablement Script Username: root Password: b120root Predictable admin Web Service Password Multiple XSS on Web Service Portal
Unauthenticated Administrative Camera Access Camera HTTP Reverse Proxy User Web Service HTTP/80 Home Network Internet Clear Text Clear Text Clear Text When a remote end user requests their camera s stream, an HTTP reverse proxy is opened on a public host & port number, directly to the camera s backend web service, allowing for a remote attacker to achieve the following: Unauthenticated and unencrypted video/audio stream access to the user s camera Full administrative access to the camera s powerful backend web service This includes manipulating camera configuration or even re-enabling Telnet
Finding Exposed Cameras on the Internet The reverse proxy is setup by the stream provider, Yoics, and has a finite number of enumerable hostnames, each with about ~30,000 possible ports that may be utilized. While this may seem like a lot, an attacker could test this entire range every minute to look for exposed cameras with a simple script or perhaps something powerful like zmap. Unencrypted, Unauthenticated Remote Camera Access Take David Adrian s Word For It :) Now Friends Can Remotely Enable Telnet For You! :)

But Really? 1. The ibaby M6, Summer, and Philips all had what I would consider critical security issues that make them a deal breaker, despite their overall scoring. 2. Only the ibaby M3S had apparent encryption for all streaming of content and even then, it s not exactly industry standard and has its own potential issues. 3. More vulnerabilities likely exist such as RCE, XSS, and CSRF in backend web applications in addition to already noted backdoor credentials/interfaces. 4. Frankly? Nine devices were way too much and while I am satisfied in the issues that were found, there s a lot I probably missed others may find!
Conclusions 1. The status quo of security for connected baby monitors is deeply concerning. 2. Even the best cameras tested were well below what I d consider secure. 3. Consumers are woefully unaware that camera security features such as endto-end encryption of audio/video and well defined, secured access don t exist. 4. It s highly unlikely, based on the issues found, that any of these vendors have third-party security audits and/or a security-focused development program. Parents and their children deserve better. Whether you paid $54.99 or $259.99, a minimum level of security should be expected, and achieved, for all baby monitors.
Not All Hope is Lost, However :) BuildItSecure.ly: Initiative targeted at sharing technical resources with IoT engineering teams and pairing IoT vendors with pro-bono security researchers. OWASP IoT Top 10: Provides vendors a list of the top 10 areas of IoT security that should be focused on during development to ensure a secure ecosystem. Cloud Security Alliance: Released a guidance document targeted at IoT engineering teams to ensure more security during design/development. Google Projects: Brillo is a hardened, stripped-down version of Android for IoT, while secure Weave is a secure solution for inter-device communication.
