Abstract
Talk at LinuxCon on hardening IoT endpoints with a preventive toolkit. Slides available.
Key points:
- Security risks of default embedded Linux configurations
- A cookbook toolkit for hardening Raspberry Pi and similar devices
- Audit and behavioral analysis for continuous monitoring
- Code examples and live demonstrations
- Preventing device takeover and botnet recruitment
Takeaway: IoT security is not optional — the toolkit provides a systematic, code-level approach to hardening embedded Linux devices against common attacks.
