Lean Enterprise Advanced Knowledge Solutions (LEAKS) is a private technology company that gets awarded most of the defense and military contracts of the country of IoTilandia. Given the sensitive nature of its contracts, LEAKS employs a complete air-gap separation for all its internal networks, ensuring no data is leaked through public connections.
A recent presidential order requires that all IoTilandia companies, including LEAKS, "IoTize" [sic] their infrastructure by making everything smarter; coffee makers, fridges, chairs, and light bulbs. To abide to this presidential order, LEAKS has installed sophisticated smart light bulbs in their offices and connected them to their internal network.
In the CSAW Embedded Systems Challenge 2018 (ESC18), you are tasked to exploit these newly installed smart light bulbs to exfiltrate IoTlandia secrets, bridging the air-gapped networks of LEAKS.
