OWASP launches IoTGoat to educate IoT devices security

Today, OWASP announced the official release of IoTGoat; a deliberately insecure firmware created to educate software developers and security professionals with testing commonly found vulnerabilities in IoT devices. The vulnerability challenges are based on the OWASP IoT Top 10, as well as "easter eggs" from project contributors.

The OWASP Internet of Things Project is designed to help manufacturers, developers, and consumers better understand the security issues associated with the Internet of Things, and to enable users in any context to make better security decisions when building, deploying, or assessing IoT technologies. The project looks to define a structure for various IoT sub-projects separated into the following categories - Seek & Understand, Validate & Test, and Governance.
