Understanding and exploiting ZigBee


ZigBee is one of the common wireless protocols used in IoT devices because of its ability to form mesh networks and perform operations with low power and resource consumption. It has found its use in a number of verticals, including Smart homes, Industrial Control Systems (ICS), smart building control, and so on. It operates on 2.4 GHz in most countries, 902 to 928 MHz in America and Australia, and 868 to 868.6 MHz in Europe.

In this section, we will be looking at ZigBee and seeing how we can identify the ZigBee devices around us and sniff and replay the traffic in order to identify security issues.
