1. Project 2: IoT Device Vulnerabilities and Security REU Student: Bryan Pearson Graduate mentors: Kelvin Ly and Kaveh Shamsi
Faculty Mentor(s): Dr. Jin and Dr. Zhang
Week 4 (June 13 – June 17, 2016)
Accomplishments:
Configured raspberry pi to steal information (photos, music, etc.) off Android phones
Read research paper on hijacking a quadcopter
This may be our next project
Issues/problems encountered:
Raspberry pi cannot always detect a phone’s location
This seems to depend on the Android’s connection type (PTP, MTP, USB)
Script takes a long time to run
Plans for next week:
Start working on malicious app injection project when new Raspberry Pi arrives
Consider updating/revising the current script

2. Hacking an Android The process:
Boot up the pi; script automatically runs at boot
Constantly check for a device to be connected
Upon connection, go through device’s media files
Zip up files; to attacker
Current implementation only works with USB connection
Assume USB debugging is on
All done in Bash - a free scripting language
