offensive-iot skillA

offensive-iot is agent-read markdown (skill) from snailsploit/claude-red: IoT and embedded device security testing methodology. Covers hardware reconnaissance (UART, JTAG, SWD, SPI flash, I2C EEPROM, eMMC chip-off), firmware acquisition (vendor portals, OTA capture, flash dump, binwalk extraction), firmware analysis (filesystem mounting, binary triage, hardcoded secrets, default credential discovery), bootloader attacks (U-Boot console, secure-boot bypass, fault injection), runtime attacks on embedded Linux/RTOS (busybox CVEs, MTD writes, /dev/mem), wireless protocol .

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# IoT & Embedded — Offensive Testing Methodology

## Quick Workflow

1. **Recon the device physically** — identify SoC, flash, debug interfaces, radios
2. **Get the firmware** — vendor download, OTA capture, hardware dump, or chip-off
3. **Unpack and analyze** — filesystems, services, secrets, default creds, vuln components
4. **Establish runtime access** — UART shell, telnet/SSH default creds, exploit chain
5. **Pivot** — to companion app, cloud API, neighboring devices via mesh / wireless

## Hardware Reconnaissance

### PCB Inspection

- ID the **SoC** by markings (Realtek, Mediatek, Espressif, Broadcom, Allwinner, NXP, STM32, etc.)
- ID **flash** (8-pin SOIC = SPI NOR; BGA = eMMC; TSOP = NAND)
- Find **debug headers**: TX/RX/GND/VCC pads (UART), 4–10 pin (JTAG), 4 pin (SWD)
- Find test points labeled `TX`, `RX`, `TCK`, `TMS`, `TDO`, `TDI`, `RST`, `BOOT`

### Tools

| Tool | Use |
|------|-----|
| Multimeter | Identify GND, VCC rails before connecting |
| Logic analyzer (Saleae, DSLogic) | Find UART baud, SPI clock, identify protocols |
| USB-UART (FT232, CP2102) | UART console |
| Bus Pirate / Glasgow | UART, SPI, I2C, JTAG generic |

How to install

Latest version
mdr add snailsploit/claude-red/offensive-iot@git:20260506.70e0c89
Exact content
mdr add snailsploit/claude-red/offensive-iot@sha256:4f9e9df132f3b93b

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
