The work built, attacked, and defended an operational IoT water-monitoring setup, exercising spoofing, replay, and unauthorized-shutoff attacks and implementing transport-layer defenses. The project mapped sensor, broker, and actuator interactions and documented concrete mitigations for observed vulnerabilities.
I worked through a hands-on externship that recreated real-world IoT infrastructure, then executed and mitigated attacks on sensors, brokers, and actuators.
