Episode 34: Internet Appliances, SCADA, and IoT Devices

As networks expand into more than just traditional computing devices, this episode explores the role of internet-connected appliances, industrial control systems like SCADA, and the rapidly growing world of IoT. We start with internet appliances such as smart TVs, printers, and streaming boxes that rely on both Wi-Fi and wired connections. Then we introduce SCADA systems and their use in industrial automation and critical infrastructure.The discussion then shifts to Internet of Things devices—such as smart thermostats, sensors, and surveillance systems—and the protocols they often use to communicate. These topics may show up on the exam in the form of obscure devices or odd troubleshooting situations, so understanding their purpose and connectivity needs is crucial. This episode helps demystify modern device categories and prepares you to recognize them with confidence. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com.
