Hacking the DXR8 Pro Baby Monitor: A Security Audit
In this video, the speaker delves into the security and privacy concerns surrounding baby monitors, particularly the DXR8 Pro by Infant Optics. Despite the high price point, which often suggests better security, the speaker decides to conduct a thorough security audit of the device.
Initial Reconnaissance
The speaker begins by searching for the device's firmware, but is unable to obtain it. However, they turn to the FCC website, where they find some interesting information. The FCC website provides detailed pictures of the device's internal components, including a row of four unsoldered exposed pads, which typically indicates the presence of a UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter) bus.
