IoTSeeker is a specialized tool used to identify Internet of Things (IoT) devices that are accessible over a network and are still configured with their default factory credentials. These devices often ship with insecure settings, which attackers can exploit.
From CEH v13 Official Courseware:
IoTSeeker:
Automatically scans for common IoT devices
Uses a database of known default usernames and passwords
Flags insecure devices for further investigation or exploitation
The tool is commonly used in the reconnaissance phase for identifying low-hanging vulnerabilities in IoT environments.
Incorrect options:
B. IoT Inspector monitors network traffic for smart devices but is more focused on behavior monitoring than credential scanning.
C. AT&T IoT Platform and D. Azure IoT Central are legitimate enterprise platforms for IoT device management and are not penetration testing tools.
