Right here, my friend, his name's Peaks.
He took a regular bulb off of Amazon.
It's called Wyze.
And he made a bunch of different ones.
So you could buy this smart bulb on Amazon and make it change colors, essentially, is all that it does.
He put modified software or firmware onto this bulb.
And I can match the colors of your other bulbs.
Let's say I was in your bathroom going, you know, using it, swapped out a bulb and left your office.
Now I have an implant that I can monitor your Wi-Fi or try to pivot from this device to your other devices and take over your computers, you know, in your house or your office.
And, you know, I could show you, if you had a lamp, I could show you, but, you know.
So leave this in a house, for example.
The goal would be to access your network.
So I would knock your devices offline with it.
It has the ability to do that, which, you know, it's called a deauthentication attack.
And then from there, you capture what's called a handshake.
And then I can try to crack your Wi-Fi password from that handshake.
Once I have that, now this light bulb is on your network with the rest of your computers.
And...
You know, from there, I could try to pivot from the bulb onto your computers with your sensitive information and files and, you know, anything.
Or I could start to reroute your traffic with, it's called DNS, to phishing pages and try to steal credentials.
