    Hydroficient IoT Cyber Defense Externship

    Build, hack, and defend real IoT infrastructure, then hand your security playbook to an actual company. You’ll launch realistic cyberattacks, from spoofing and replay attacks to unauthorized shutoffs, and implement defenses like TLS and mTLS.

/Overview

The work examined a smart-marina IoT deployment and mapped device interactions and system architecture. The project applied STRIDE to identify assets and six attack vectors, documented attack paths and mitigations, and produced a PDF threat model plus a visual threat-model card.

//What I've accomplished

I produced a STRIDE-based threat model that identified six attack vectors, documented attack paths and mitigations, and delivered both a PDF threat model and a visual threat-model card.

///Project breakdown

The project reviewed the Grand Marina system, applied STRIDE to map assets and six attack vectors, documented attack paths and mitigations, and produced a PDF threat model plus a visual threat-model card as the final deliverable.
