Application: Manipulating inter-chip communications for iot security (Patent ID: US20240202376A1)
The patent filed by Rapid7 Inc. focuses on manipulating and analyzing inter-chip communication data in IoT devices to identify and remediate security vulnerabilities. The method involves capturing inter-chip communication data among microcontroller units (MCUs) on an IoT device, determining message structures, generating modified messages to obtain responses from the MCUs, and identifying security vulnerabilities based on the responses. The system includes a security server that receives and analyzes the inter-chip communication data to identify vulnerabilities and take remediation actions accordingly.
The method and system described in the patent aim to enhance IoT device security by analyzing communication data to identify vulnerabilities related to shared secrets, commands, MAC addresses, and communication protocols. By capturing and manipulating inter-chip communication data, security vulnerabilities can be identified and remediated effectively. The security server plays a crucial role in assessing different types of IoT devices for various security vulnerabilities and taking appropriate actions to mitigate risks. Additionally, the system can replay communications to the MCUs based on serialized data and validate responses to ensure the security of the IoT devices, which can be sensor devices or other types of connected devices.
