MindMap
IoT Pentesting MindMap
The Attify mindmap serves as a practical reference for IoT security practitioners who need one place to see the field, not as isolated techniques, but as a connected offensive surface.
It is still useful for scoping assessments, orienting lab work, and keeping cross-layer testing grounded while moving between physical access, firmware logic, radio paths, protocols, and application behavior.

What the mindmap covers
A comprehensive visual reference for IoT security assessment, built to connect attack surfaces, testing approaches, tools, and techniques across the major layers of connected systems.
- Hardware attack surfaces and interfaces
- Firmware extraction and analysis paths
- Wireless protocol assessment across BLE, Zigbee, and SDR workflows
- Network and protocol testing approaches
- Application and cloud-connected surfaces
- Cross-layer attack-path patterns
How practitioners use it
Assessment planning
Use the mindmap to decompose a target before touching tools, so attack surface and trust boundaries are explicit from the start.
Field reference
Keep it open during firmware, hardware, wireless, and protocol work to avoid blind spots as the assessment moves across layers.
Training support
Use it as a structured map of the space while building judgment across interfaces, tooling, and cross-layer attack paths.
Go deeper with Attify
The mindmap is a strong reference, but it is still a map. If you want to build the judgment behind it, Attify training and resource pages extend the same surface into hands-on workflows and structured depth.
Offensive IoT Exploitation (OIX)
Guided training for practitioners who want to go beyond the reference and build full-stack offensive capability.
