Explanation
IoTSeeker is correct because it is specifically designed as an automated scanning tool that discovers IoT devices on a network and checks whether they are still using default, factory-set credentials - making them vulnerable to hijacking attacks, which matches the scenario exactly.
IoT Inspector (B) is a network analysis tool focused on monitoring and analyzing IoT device traffic and behavior for privacy/security research, not specifically scanning for default credentials. AT&T IoT Platform (C) is a connectivity and device management platform for building and deploying IoT solutions, not a hacking or vulnerability scanning tool. Azure IoT Central (D) is Microsoft's cloud-based IoT application platform for managing and connecting IoT devices at scale, also not a penetration testing or credential-scanning tool.
Memory Tip: Think of IoTSeeker as "seeking out" weak default passwords - the name itself implies actively hunting/seeking vulnerable IoT devices, which aligns perfectly with its purpose. The other options are legitimate enterprise platforms (AT&T and Azure are giveaways as major commercial brands), not offensive security tools.
