i hacked my son's baby monitor, for science.

Ғылым және технология

My wife and I are having a baby. I, being a security researcher, have been tasked with the fun job of buying all the gadgets. I wanted to make sure that my son's baby monitor wasn't able to be hacked. Baby monitors have been the topic of TONS of security research over the last ten years.
In this video, we explore the board breakdown of the DXR-8 Pro by Infant Optics, and see if we can get a root shell on the device. This is the first video in a series of videos where I audit the security of the device and see if it's safe for me to use when little homie arrives.

    So at work we have an intercom system we never use, one day a few months ago it starts making noises suddenly and intermittently as if like possessed. We walk around the rooms but no one is using it, then one of my coworkers points out that it’s probably picking up interference from a baby monitor. That was kind of more freaky to me, i dont think people using baby monitors would like that people at the public library can hear through the other end. Now forever freaked out by baby monitors.

Full verified boot would be way too complex for any such use case. (and if it's really needed, please let the actual owner control it!)

Most importantly, if the ATMega chip is stuck in reset mode you HAVE to put tx to tx and Rx to rx, because the serial converter switches it around for unknown reasons.

    Not just in Xorg - Wayland has it too, and Shift+Insert will often do the same thing. Linux has 2 clipboards (technically 3 but the third is basically never used. (technically technically IIRC it's possible to define arbitrary additional clipboards but these are the standardized ones). The one you're talking about is called 'PRIMARY'. It holds whatever ASCII text is currently selected, which then be pasted using the middle mouse button as you said (and as I said, some programs additionally support pressing Shift+Insert to do the same). It's rather finicky though and can only hold text. What you think of as the normal clipboard is just called 'CLIPBOARD'. It can hold various mime types, and is only interacted with via explicit commands (e.g. C-c and C-v. Also can obviously be interacted with via the command line and whatnot).

    Those Infant Optics ones pretty simple. Point to point with manually paired cameras (which is a bit wazoo, but we get to that later) and no connectivity. The open UART (or JTAG, SWD less so) is super common in those devices because they either dont care to close em, want it for debug, or they use it for some EOL manufacturing process. There is only one risk from having a reversible monitor for the user that I can think of off the cuff, it's gotta pair. Depending on where you live that may be a concern and it may not -- apartments/condos, maybe yeah, single family home - range isnt that great. That said, there's some hoops they'd need to jump through and that's where you should be looking. Is the pairing seed material when you push the button from the camera fairly unique? Does it broadcast its ID in some way that you could identify a camera you want to link a monitor to after the fact? If it's only during the initial handshake, cool, but how does it reconnect when it starts up? If the RF is in the clear (e.g. not just encoded or plain) you can patch in whatever auth material you want. What does that get you though? Cred online for showing it, but in reality, meh. People research baby monitors and safes and stuff for the emotional factor attached to it. Any malicious behavior where you have to be that close to the target is a really personal thing. I know it's a non-cool kid opinion, but patching a piece of firmware on a baby monitor to see inside a single room in your house would do...what exactly? Yeah, can see inside your house and that's a bit creepy, but if you live in an apartment, that person is your neighbor. Good bit of OSINT, RF analysis, and then firmware patching for your neighbor or someone that lives nearby to see in your kid's room? They know if you're home already. Live in a single family home? Not so much range wise. At that point any RF system unless you want to spend a bunch more for a legit security system (and even then they will have similar problems) isn't in the cards for you if you're concerned. BTW, the h264 is video encoding. Have fun!

    Aren't UART pins usually high in idle state? In the first step when you measured the voltage on UART TX pin you said because it's 3v3 it's outputing data. I think the fact that it wasn't a stable 3v3 means there's some data on the line and if it was just 3v3 would mean there's no data on the line.

    Late to the party but there's a few notes that are worthwhile: - The microcontroller on this device is more likely 3.3V I/O, the USB TTL converter chip on the Arduino will be speaking 5V. This makes hooking the Arduino serial lines up directly rather risky as you could actively damage the micro's I/O drivers. A USB-Serial adapter with configurable 5V/3.3V is cheaper and easier to use than an Arduino and should be in pretty much everyone's debugging kit. - DP/DM is extremely likely to be USB D+/D-, I would bet on this chip having DFU capabilities over USB, so this should be a route into the chip's bootloader. Connecting these lines to a PC will tell you a lot about the device. - The reason these pins are exposed on pretty much any consumer device is that it's how the device is programmed in factory, so SWD/JTAG/USB will pretty much always be left available (even if you have to rummage around a bit to find them). Even devices supporting DFU over wireless will usually have SWD/JTAG left for initial firmware flashing.

    Took me some time to decide on getting the same baby monitor after an initial failed purchase. The other one we got had an app that wanted to see data across other apps for me to monitor my baby…no thanks! Hope this purchase stays a good solution!

    That uses SoftSerial, which is usually 'good enough' for simple communication but doesn't work for higher speeds as the Arduino can't keep up. You use SoftSerial when you've chosen to use the wrong type of Arduino (one with only 1 UART) while for a project you need 2 UARTs, it's always a compromise. Here it would be much easier (and better) to just use a CP1202/CH340 USB UART with 3.3V logic levels. He's now using a 5V Arduino on a 3.3V device. This can damage both the Arduino and the baby monitor, only reason it didn't happen here is because there's a 2K resistor in series on the UART on the Arduino. Some cheaper Arduino clones might not have that. Basically this video shows how to use a much more expensive and not too suitable tool to do something that a $1 USB UART can do better...

    The Arduino trick is awesome. I'm currently in need for a USB UART and I've been delaying my project, because I own a USB UART interface, but I have it at the bottom on some box :p But now I can use an Arduino which I have ready and just use it's builtin interface. Now it sounds obvious, but this idea didn't occur to me. Thanks for the tip!
