Question

John, a professional hacker, targeted CyberSol Inc., an MNC. He decided to discover the loT devices connected in the target network that are using default credentials and are vulnerable to various hijacking attacks. For this purpose, he used an automated tool to scan the target network for specific types of loT devices and detect whether they are using the default, factory-set credentials. What is the tool employed by John in the above scenario?

Why each option

IoTSeeker is an automated scanning tool specifically designed to identify IoT devices on a network that are operating with default factory credentials, making them vulnerable to hijacking.

AloTSeekerCorrect

IoTSeeker is a purpose-built security tool that scans networks for specific types of IoT devices and checks whether they are still using default, factory-set credentials. This directly matches the scenario where John needed to detect IoT devices vulnerable to hijacking due to unchanged default credentials.

BloT Inspector

IoT Inspector is a network traffic analysis tool that examines data sent by IoT devices for privacy and security concerns, rather than scanning for default credential vulnerabilities.

CAT&T loT Platform

AT&T IoT Platform is a cloud-based connectivity and device management service for building IoT deployments, not a security scanning or credential auditing tool.

DAzure loT Central

Azure IoT Central is Microsoft's managed cloud application platform for monitoring and managing IoT devices at scale, not a tool for detecting default credential vulnerabilities.
