Overview

The externship worked with a simulated hotel water-monitoring system and its IoT components. Deliverables included a STRIDE- and CIA-based threat model that prioritized three risks, runnable Colab notebooks and a sensor log generator, and a local MQTT pipeline whose plaintext traffic was intercepted and analyzed. The work combined threat analysis, Python tooling, and practical exploitation of an
