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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
