Abstract
The Internet of things has developed new advances in technology, and having the connection of devices is now slowly becoming a standard. One of the home staple devices is TVs, which have evolved from cabled TVs to smart capabilities. The researchers surveyed Android TV owners/users and assessed their knowledge regarding the drawbacks of their devices. According to the survey results, the respondents are not aware of the vulnerabilities of their systems, making them prone to attacks. The researchers assessed the vulnerability of the Android TV by utilizing Nmap for listening and connecting Kali Linux to the USB Debugging-Enabled virtualized Android Oreo TV and scrcpy for controlling the TV via Kali. After the assessment, the researchers were able to identify that the security of the device was lacking due to the absence of a defense system. Therefore, they recommend a firewall implementation in Android TVs.
