As it’s obvious – the Advanced IP Scanner would get the required IP address and make a search trying
to identify such a device. We would get an IT asset being visible through this scanning tool. As we
suggested – this tool would deal with the remote administration options using the Radmin software. The
Figure 5 would illustrate how it works in practice and how it’s possible to hack someone’s IoT asset.
Through such an illustration – we would notice that many of scenarios are feasible and also see that
making a cyber breach or stealing the confidential information could get a piece of cake to any hacker.
In this case, it’s not about the skill because the children would know how to use those tools – it’s more
