Internet of Things (IoT) security is a trending issue due to the exponential growth and incorporation of IoT into various businesses and sectors, but IoT penetration testing is different from its traditional counterparts as it includes all the components of digital infrastructure across both information and operations technology domains. The current manuscript describes the various attack vectors and modes an IoT penetration tester could pick for testing the multitude of IoT components such as devices, vehicles, electronics, software, sensors, network, and much more. This manuscript attempts to provide brief information on various attack modes available to the penetration tester or ethical hacker in each IoT architecture layer.
