Summer projects

Cybersecurity Specialization · Cohort 2025

IoT Security Assessment Platform

Build a platform that scans and analyzes smart devices on a local or simulated network to identify common IoT security issues. The system will detect exposed services, weak credentials, outdated firmware, and insecure communication protocols. It will then correlate findings with known vulnerabilities from sources like CVE/NVD, Shodan API, or custom threat feeds. A web dashboard will display device details, risk scores, and recommended remediation steps.
