Elevation of privilege and backdoor

Buffer overflow and SQL injection

What is social engineering in the context of IoT security?

Intercepting network traffic to steal data

Manipulating people into performing actions or revealing confidential information

Exploiting software vulnerabilities to gain access

Using automated tools to crack passwords

How can an attacker use spoofing to impersonate an IoT device?

By physically replacing the device's hardware

By encrypting the device's data

By increasing the device's signal strength

By falsifying the device's MAC address to match a trusted device

Which of the following is a common network-level attack vector targeting IoT infrastructure?
