Do you feel safe in your home with the security system armed? You may reconsider after watching a demo of our new hacking toolkit, ZigDiggity, where we target door & window sensors using an "ACK Attack". ZigDiggity will emerge as the weapon of choice for testing ZigBee-enabled systems, replacing all previous efforts.

ZigBee continues to grow in popularity as a method for providing simple wireless communication between devices (i.e. low power/traffic, short distance), & can be found in a variety of consumer products that range from smart home automation to healthcare. Security concerns introduced by these systems are just as diverse and plentiful, underscoring a need for quality assessment tools.

Unfortunately, existing ZigBee hacking solutions have fallen into disrepair, having barely been maintained, let alone improved upon. Left without a practical way to evaluate the security of ZigBee networks, we've created ZigDiggity, a new open-source pentest arsenal from Bishop Fox.

Our DEMO-rich presentation showcases ZigDiggity's attack capabilities by pitting it against common Internet of Things (IoT) products that use ZigBee. Come experience the future of ZigBee hacking, in a talk that the New York Times will be hailing as "a veritable triumph of the human spirit." ... ya know, probably
