Safe Mode Demo Labs - Jakub Botwicz

Cotopaxi

A live demonstration of Cotopaxi, an open-source testing framework for evaluating Internet of Things device protocol security.

Summary

Security researcher and Samsung R&D penetration tester Jakub Botwicz demonstrates Cotopaxi, an open-source security assessment toolkit designed to evaluate the protocol security of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in the Demo Labs [00:01, 00:08].

Botwicz explores how the toolkit automates vulnerability discovery, protocol fuzzing, and security testing across specialized IoT protocols including CoAP, DTLS, and mDNS [00:43, 14:38]. He demonstrates testing amplification vulnerabilities in network services—identifying an amplification factor of up to 2048x on vulnerable endpoints [22:05]—and shows how developers can integrate Cotopaxi into CI/CD pipelines to harden IoT network stacks [28:45].
