The Weaponisation of Cellular Based IoT Technology

March 24, 2026

Over the last few years, we have performed focused research around cellular-based technologies used in Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. The goal was to expand our knowledge in the areas around how it works: How we can better understand its usages and ecosystem; how to test the technology from a security perspective; how the cellular technology and its overall IoT ecosystems could be exploited; and how we protect and secure cellular IoT devices and their ecosystem from any identified security issues.

In the first two phases of this research we covered many aspects of cellular technology in IoT, including understanding and interacting with this technology from a hardware perspective and validating and testing the practicality of how those attacks could be implemented.
