A Smart Light Hacking Journey
Smart lights have become pervasive in many homes, but they are often designed in such a way that makes them completely reliant on the manufacturer's servers and connectivity to the Internet. However, we would much rather be fully in control of our own devices.
As a target, we took on the cheap and popular Tuya white-label smart lights, which can be commonly found under many different brand names.
In this talk, we'll take you on a trip through our 1-year journey of hacking these devices, including the details of finding and remotely exploiting a vulnerability in the firmware for devices based on the custom BK7231 SoC.
