Hacking IoT Baby Monitors

Mark Stanislav, Sr. Security Consultant

What Does an Internet-Connected Monitor Offer?

• “Connected” Features (via a Web Site and/or a Mobile Application)
• Viewing a live stream locally (the home’s Wi-Fi) or remotely (Internet)
• Controlling the camera’s position via pan, tilt, and zoom functionality
• Communicating audio through the monitor (i.e. two-way audio)
• Playing music or other recorded audio clips (i.e. bring your own lullabies)
• Manage device preferences such as the audio volume and “night vision”
• Share access and provide privileges to other people (e.g. family, friends)
• Access recordings for humidity, temperature, noise, and/or motion alerts
• Remote (e.g. SaaS, FTP) and local (e.g. Micro SD) DVR recordings

A Mess of Dependencies and Attack Surface

• Many IoT baby monitors leverage third-party services, firmware, and software
• Some vendors put a lot of trust in their supply chain without testing security
• Implementation errors or failure to comply with best practices also occurs

• Complex ecosystems means that there are plenty of ways to screw up:
• Mobile applications, cloud services, backend services, web applications,

firmware, hardware, network protocols, wireless protocols, & cryptography

• It’s difficult for a single IoT vendor to be proficient in security across all of it

• The frameworks, protocols, and design patterns of IoT are still very much in flux

SO, HOW DO WE HACK THESE THINGS?

Via Dumping Firmware

Pomona SOIC Clip + Bus Pirate flashrom to Dump Flash binwalk to Extract Filesystems

Hash Cracking with cudaHashcat Scouring Google for Useful Details

Via Brute Force of Various Means

JTagulator
 (or Bus Pirate, Shikra, etc.) U-Boot Configuration UART Scan & Connect

Via Serial Console (UART)

Via JTAG (e.g. Dumping Memory via GDB)

Not a baby monitor… but you get the idea!

Acquire Firmware with dex2jar + JD-GUI for Android View API Calls with mitmproxy (esp. SSL/TLS) Find API End-Points with Clutch + strings for iOS

Via Mobile Applications

View Protocol Details with wireshark Uncover Network Services with nmap

Via Network Analysis

XSS on Camera Cloud Web Service Hidden Administrative Web Interface

Via Web Applications

THE FINDINGS

Withings WBP01 - $204.60

Disabled Doesn’t Quite Mean What it Used To

After a stream exists, “disabling” it via the app doesn’t actually stop it… 20 Minutes Later…
 The Stream Still Works!

When Obfuscation Goes Wrong, or, Not at All?

At first, this looks like a really poor attempt at an

• bfuscation method to “hide” the password for

this web service account.
 
 On further review, however, the mchunk method simply returns at the start of the for loop, yielding the output from the input to be a concatenation of “ff” and the integer passed as a parameter.
 
 Was this obfuscation intended to be enabled? Did someone give up on their dream of confusing reverse engineers? The world may never know…

iBaby M3S - A Historical Look at Software?

✦ U-Boot: 1.1.3, released August 14th, 2005 ✦ OpenSSL: 0.9.8e, released February 23rd, 2007 ✦ Linux Kernel: 2.6.21, released April 26th, 2007 ✦ BusyBox: 1.12.1, released September 28th, 2008
 ✦ UNIX Crypt: First appeared in 1979, limited to 8-character passwords ✦ Telnet: Developed in 1968 — SSH-1 came out in 1995…

Encryption! Just Not Great Choices For it :)

Stream Encryption… with XXTEA? Encrypted Backups… with a Hardcoded Password?

Philips In.Sight B120/37

Everything Old is New Again…

My IZON Research - 2013 My InSight Research - 2015 The question is… Did security issues fixed by one camera manufacturer ever trickle into devices also leveraging the same firmware?

Shout out to Paul Price for his research into the In.Sight M100 which shares a few issues from my old Stem Innovation IZON research and subsequent research into the In.Sight B120. Check out his site detailing this and other research at ifc0nfig.com!

A Quick Look at “Old” Security Issues Still There

A Few Newer Issues. But Wait, There’s More! :)

Unauthenticated Administrative Camera Access

Camera Home Network Internet User

Web Service
 HTTP/80 Clear Text Clear Text Clear Text HTTP Reverse Proxy

When a remote end user requests their camera’s stream, an HTTP reverse proxy is

• pened on a public host & port number, directly to the camera’s backend web service,

allowing for a remote attacker to achieve the following: ✦ Unauthenticated and unencrypted video/audio stream access to the user’s camera ✦ Full administrative access to the camera’s powerful backend web service ✦ This includes manipulating camera configuration or even re-enabling Telnet

Finding Exposed Cameras on the Internet

The reverse proxy is setup by the stream provider, Yoics, and has a finite number of enumerable hostnames, each with about ~30,000 possible ports that may be utilized.
 
 While this may seem like a lot, an attacker could test this entire range every minute to look for exposed cameras with a simple script

• r perhaps something powerful like zmap.

Unencrypted, Unauthenticated Remote Camera Access Now “Friends” Can Remotely Enable Telnet For You! :) Take David Adrian’s Word For It :)

Oh, Be Sure to Change Your Password…

Default New User Passwords == Last name (truncated to 8 characters) + Group ID
 
 This is not required to be changed on first login and could be enumerated if someone
 knows that you have this device — simply iterate over group ID integers!

Baby is Unsatisfied

…But Really?

• 1. The iBaby M6, Summer, and Philips all had what I would consider “critical”

security issues that make them a deal breaker, despite their overall scoring.


• 2. Only the iBaby M3S had apparent encryption for all streaming of content and

even then, it’s not exactly “industry standard” and has its own potential issues.


• 3. More vulnerabilities likely exist such as RCE, XSS, and CSRF in backend web

applications — in addition to already noted backdoor credentials/interfaces.


• 4. Frankly? Nine devices were way too much and while I am satisfied in the

issues that were found, there’s a lot I probably missed others may find!

Conclusions

• 1. The status quo of security for “connected” baby monitors is deeply concerning.

• 2. Even the “best” cameras tested were well below what I’d consider “secure.”

• 3. Consumers are woefully unaware that camera security features such as end-

to-end encryption of audio/video and well defined, secured access don’t exist.


• 4. It’s highly unlikely, based on the issues found, that any of these vendors have

third-party security audits and/or a security-focused development program. Parents and their children deserve better. Whether you paid $54.99 or $259.99, a minimum level of security should be expected, and achieved, for all baby monitors.
