DAST security scaning of a IoT Nodemcu esp8266 LUA script www HTML server connected to camera and A/C relay

QUESTION

DAST security scaning of a IoT Nodemcu esp8266 LUA script www HTML server connected to camera and A/C relay

Asked 2021-Apr-08 at 01:04

I have not, but shall DAST* security test, out of curiosity, an IoT device; Nodemcu esp8266 www server I built. It's showing a HTML page (on a mobile phone for example) that allows to control and interact with a camera module and a A/C relay. With it I can for example show images captured in the camera I even think it has some image recognition built in, and I can switch on and off a relay for electrical current to a light bulb (110/220v A/C power)

Before I start pentest I though I better start thinking of what types of exploits one would be able to find and detect? Which sinister exploits I will be able to find, or rather ought be able to find given a proper pentest exercise? (And if I do not find exploits, my approach to the pentest of the Iot might be wrong)

I ponder it might be a totally pointless exercise since the esp8266 www server (or rather its LUA programming libraries) might not have any security built into it, so basically it is "open doors" and everything with it is unsafe ?

The test report might just conclude what I can foresee be that the the "user input needs to be sanitized"?

Anyone have any idea what such pentest of a generic IoT device generally reports? Maybe it is possible to crash or reset the IoT device? Buffer overruns, XXS, call own code ?

I might use ZAP or Burpsuite or similar DAST security test tool.

I could of course SAST test it instead, or too, but I think it will be hard to find a static code analyzer for the NodeMCU libraries and NUA scripting language easily ? I found some references here though: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/8227299 but it seems to be a long read.

So if someone just have a short answer what to expect in a DAST scan/pentest , it would be much appreciated.

Stay safe and secure out there ! Zombieboy

I do my vulnerability scanning with OpenVAS (I assume this is what you mean by pentesting?). I am not aware of any IOT focused Tools.

If your server is running on esp8266, i would imagine that there is no much room for authentication and encryption of http traffic, but correct me if i am wrong).

Vulnerability Scan results might show things like unencrypted http traffic, credentials transmitted in cleartext (if you have any credentials fields in the pages served by the web server) etc. Depending on if there is encryption, you might also see weak encryption findings.

You might get some false positives on your lua webserver reacting like other known webservers when exploits are applied. I have seen this kind of false positive specially on DoS vulnerabilities when a vulnerability scan is testing a vulnerability and the server becomes unresponsive. Depending on how invasive your vulnerability scanner is, you might get a lot of false positives for DoS on such a constrained platform.

Vulnerabilities

No vulnerabilities reported

Install poisontap

Note: If you find the device is NOT acting as an Ethernet controller automatically (older versions of Windows, for example), you can change the VID and PID in pi_startup.sh. Place dhcpd.conf in /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf and the rest of the files in /home/pi/poisontap, then reboot to ensure everything is working.
backdoor.html - Whenever a http://hostname/PoisonTap URL is hit to exfiltrate cookies, this file is what is returned as the force-cached content. It contains a backdoor that produces an outbound websocket to samy.pl:1337 (adjustable to any host/port) that remains opens waiting for commands from the server. This means when you load an iframe on a site, such as http://hostname/PoisonTap, this is the content that gets populated (even after PoisonTap is removed from the machine).
backend_server.js - This is the Node.js server that you run on your Internet-accessible server. It is what the backdoor.html connects to (eg, samy.pl:1337). This is the same server you connect to send commands to your PoisonTapped minion machines, eg
pi_poisontap.js - This runs via Node.js on the Raspberry Pi Zero and is the HTTP server responsible for handling any HTTP requests intercepted by PoisonTap, storing siphoned cookies, and injecting the cached backdoors.
pi_startup.sh - This runs upon startup on the Raspberry Pi Zero in order to set the device up to emulate an Ethernet-over-USB gadget, set up our evil DHCP server, allow traffic rerouting, DNS spoofing, and to launch pi_poisontap.js above.
target_backdoor.js - This file is prepended to any CDN-related Javascript files, thus backdooring them, e.g. Google CDN's jQuery URL.
target_injected_xhtmljs.html - This is the code that gets injected into unintentional/background HTTP/AJAX requests on the victim's machine and spawns the entire attack. It is constructed in a way that it can be interpreted as HTML or as Javascript and still execute the same code. Additionally, the amazing HTML5 canvas is by the incredible Ara oen CodePen and was too amazing not to include. This is the graphical craziness that appears when the page gets taken over by PoisonTap.
poisontap.cookies.log - This file is generated once the user's machine starts sending HTTP requests to PoisonTap and logs the cookie from the browser along with the associated URL/domain it belongs to.

Support

Q: How do you add additional domains to be backdoored?A: The list of domains to be backdoored is set in target_injected_xhtmljs.html by the getDoms() function. This itself is populated by the alexa1m.sh script in the root of the repo. If you wish to add additional domains to this list, you can simply amend the return call in getDoms().Q: How do you use the captured cookies?A: You can use the Document.cookie API directly from the JavaScript console in your browser to set cookies. This StackOverflow post also has a few Chrome-specific suggestions, for example the Cookie Inspector Chrome extension.Q: How do I clean Poisontap from a machine?A: You should clear the local OS DNS cache, as well as any browser caches. You may also need to invalidate any logged-in sessions at the time, which may have leaked cookies. Ensure that these invalidate existing cookies, rather than simply logging you out. (If you want to safetly work with a PoisonTap device on your current machine, make sure to exit any browser, then you should be able to safetly connect it to your machine).
