📍 Los Angeles, CA
Abstract
Talk at LinuxCon ContainerCon on hardening IoT endpoints with a preventive toolkit.
Key points:
- Security risks of default Raspberry Pi configurations
- A cookbook toolkit for hardening embedded Linux devices
- Audit and behavioral analysis techniques
- Preventing botnet recruitment (e.g., Mirai-style attacks)
Takeaway: Securing IoT devices is critical — a single unpatched Raspberry Pi can become part of a botnet. The toolkit provides a systematic approach to hardening.
