Due to many unusual constraints imposed on their design, embedded systems carry a large set of challenges related to feature implementation and security. Many systems found today prove the high difficulty of achieving the latter, namely designing a secure software architecture. Nevertheless, IoT systems are crucial in many environments ranging from large-scale, tightly secured commercial deployments to relatively unprotected home networks. The danger that embedded devices may face in such versatile environments coupled with the constantly rising popularity and feature scope of IoT systems is one of the main factors which motivated this paper. In this work, we focus on SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) embedded systems equipped with Linux OS. Our goal is to identify and address some of their security problems. We also propose a security testing framework-based on our enhanced methodology. Our methodology focuses on increasing the simplicity and intuitiveness of the tasks as well as making them more straight forward. The methodology covers device data collection, network scanning, traffic gathering, software and hardware testing, then preparing the tools, the attack scenario, and its execution. We also advocate for using free, open-source testing tools. This work also provides security recommendations for manufacturers, solution architects and security researchers in the field of internet of things.
