Build, hack, and defend real IoT infrastructure, then hand your security playbook to an actual company. You’ll launch realistic cyberattacks, from spoofing and replay attacks to unauthorized shutoffs, and implement defenses like TLS and mTLS.

I am a student at Kennesaw State University pursuing a bachelor's degree. I have limited professional experience and Iam building hands-on skills in IoT security through an active Hydroficient IoT Cyber Defense externship, where I test attacks and implement defenses on real devices.

The work reproduced a cloud-connected water-monitoring system, inventoried devices and telemetry flows, and applied STRIDE to enumerate spoofing, man-in-the-middle, and denial-of-service risks. Deliverables included a prioritized threat inventory with mitigation recommendations such as MFA, device certificates, and transport encryption, plus Python Colab notebooks that clean data and generate
I produced a STRIDE-based threat model that identified spoofing, MITM, and DoS risks with mitigation recommendations (MFA, device certificates, transport encryption), and I built Python Colab notebooks that clean IoT datasets and generate realistic, timestamped sensor logs.
