offensive-iot

offensive-iot is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SnailSploit/Claude-Red. It costs 196 tokens per session (3,815 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A methodology for testing the security of internet-connected devices and embedded hardware. It covers inspecting circuit boards, obtaining and examining firmware, accessing debug interfaces, and checking connected apps or services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify UART, JTAG, or SWD connections; extract firmware; inspect files and binaries; find secrets or default credentials; and test related devices, apps, and cloud services.
Why use it?
It organizes device security testing across both physical hardware and software, including areas that ordinary application testing may miss.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

offensive-iot scanned grade B with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

sudo create_ap wlan0 eth0 IoTLab

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Reaches for credential filesmediumPrivilege escalation

SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

cat rootfs/etc/passwd rootfs/etc/shadow

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

IoT & Embedded — Offensive Testing Methodology

Quick Workflow

  1. Recon the device physically — identify SoC, flash, debug interfaces, radios
  2. Get the firmware — vendor download, OTA capture, hardware dump, or chip-off
  3. Unpack and analyze — filesystems, services, secrets, default creds, vuln components
  4. Establish runtime access — UART shell, telnet/SSH default creds, exploit chain
  5. Pivot — to companion app, cloud API, neighboring devices via mesh / wireless

Hardware Reconnaissance

PCB Inspection

  • ID the SoC by markings (Realtek, Mediatek, Espressif, Broadcom, Allwinner, NXP, STM32, etc.)
  • ID flash (8-pin SOIC = SPI NOR; BGA = eMMC; TSOP = NAND)
  • Find debug headers: TX/RX/GND/VCC pads (UART), 4–10 pin (JTAG), 4 pin (SWD)
  • Find test points labeled TX, RX, TCK, TMS, TDO, TDI, RST, BOOT

Tools

Tool Use
Multimeter Identify GND, VCC rails before connecting
Logic analyzer (Saleae, DSLogic) Find UART baud, SPI clock, identify protocols
USB-UART (FT232, CP2102) UART console
Bus Pirate / Glasgow UART, SPI, I2C, JTAG generic
J-Link / Black Magic Probe JTAG / SWD MCU debugging
CH341A programmer Cheap SPI flash dumper
XGecu T48 Modern universal programmer (NAND/eMMC/SPI)
ChipQuik / hot-air Chip-off desolder

UART Discovery

# Find baud rate
for b in 9600 19200 38400 57600 115200 230400 460800 921600; do
  echo "=== $b ==="
  timeout 5 minicom -b $b -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -C uart_$b.log
done
grep -l -E "U-Boot|Linux|Bootloader|console|login" uart_*.log

Look for: U-Boot console (often Hit any key countdown), Linux init messages, root shell on console, login prompt.

Bootloader Console Drop

# At U-Boot countdown, mash space or key listed
Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0
=> printenv                   # full env, often includes boot args
=> setenv bootargs ${bootargs} init=/bin/sh
=> boot                       # Linux comes up to root shell, no login

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

offensive-iot is a skill published in the GitHub repository SnailSploit/Claude-Red (3,023 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 196 tokens to every session and 3,815 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (asks for root, reaches for credential files). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
