Let's Talk About SOAP, Baby. Let's Talk About UPNP

Whether we want it to be or not, the Internet of Things is upon us. Network interfaces are the racing stripes of today's consumer device market. And if you put a network interface on a device, you have to make it do something right? That's where a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) service comes in. SOAP services are designed with ease-of-access in mind, many times at the expense of security. Ludicrous amounts of control over device functionality, just about every category of vulnerability you can think of, and an all-around lack of good security practice about sums it up. In this talk, I will discuss this growing attack surface, demonstrate different methods for attacking/fuzzing it, and provide plenty of examples of the many dangers of insecure SOAP/ UPnP interfaces on embedded and "smart" devices along the way.
