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 as necessary.

The method and system described in the patent are designed to enhance the security of IoT devices by analyzing communication data between MCUs, identifying vulnerabilities such as shared secrets, command types, and network addresses, and taking appropriate remediation actions. By capturing and analyzing inter-chip communication data, the system can assess different types of IoT devices for various security vulnerabilities and determine aspects of communication protocols used by the MCUs. Additionally, the security server can replay communications to the MCUs based on serialized data and validate responses to further enhance security measures. Overall, the patent aims to provide a comprehensive approach to securing IoT devices by actively monitoring and manipulating inter-chip communication data.
