Abstract
People are living in the world where billions of IoT systems are connected to the Internet. They are sending and receiving data via network, and are controlled remotely. Many IoT systems do not have complex tasks to perform or to control. Because of that, they are built on cheap and weak hardware. Sometimes there are not enough resources to implement suitable, high-quality protection mechanism. The simplicity of the IoT system and its task lead the developer to leave the system unprotected. In this paper, the authors present how easy is to attack unprotected and protected systems. In three examples, they use free tools from Kali Linux to take control or disable systems. The know-how is also available through YouTube videos, thus any person with basic level of ICT skills can become a potential attacker or hacker. The goal of this article is to highlight the importance of protecting the IoT system, because by controlling even some simply process, the hackers can cause considerable damage.
