    Everything you never wanted to know

    about smart light bulbs

    In the past were the dinosaurs
    (Very little interesting lightbulb
    development during this time)
    18th century: electricity all the things
    19th century: the lightbulb is invented
    (by, like, eleventy billion people roughly
    simultaneously)
    Carbon filament
    Tungsten filament
    Halogen
    CFL
    LED
    The dawn of smart lighting
    X10
    Smart switches
    NOT WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT
    Smart bulbs speak to a network themselves
    Variety of protocols
    Z-Wave
    Zigbee
    Wifi
    Bluetooth
    Something entirely custom
    Why do you want them?
    Dimmable
    Colour or temperature changing
    React to external events
    Control from your phone
    Control by shouting
    Compensate for annoying lighting setups
    So what’s in one of these things?
    Diffuser
    LEDs
    Heatsink
    Radio
    Controller
    Driver
    Speaker(!)
    RGB/RGBW
    White light is hard
    White LEDs are bright
    RGB and white together may blow your thermals
    Reverse engineering protocols
    Android Bluetooth debugging
    tcpdump
    Wireshark
    Swearing
    Gin
    Some of these bulbs are… strange
    Setup with AT commands
    Random cloud services to forward packets
    Probably all fine
    (Not always fine)
    iSuper iRainbow001
    Button for physical presence auth!
    Button does nothing
    No credentials for cloud communication
    Running a hidden wifi network
    …which exposes telnet
    …with hardcoded credentials
    In-home rootkit
    Philips Hue
    Good proof of physical presence
    Unique cryptographic ID
    Wholesome, friendly, good life partner material
    Bulbs vulnerable to sidechannel attacks
    Researchers extracted AES key used for firmware
    (Sidenote: do not use AES for firmware auth)
    Researchers discovered how to take over bulbs
    Reauth requires close physical locality
    Reset didn’t
    Researchers replaced firmware
    Researchers replaced firmware with firmware
    capable of carrying out the same attack
    http://iotworm.eyalro.net/
    Initial setup
    Zigbee, Z-Wave
    Bluetooth
    Run an AP, accept configuration
    …just blast creds encoded in packet size
    Any better alternatives?
    Many cheap bulbs based on esp8266
    Of course they have a serial port
    https://github.com/stelgenhof/AiLight/
    https://github.com/xoseperez/espurna
    Expose control over standard interfaces
    (take care not to exceed thermal design)
