Profile
Hello All.! I am Veerababu, better known as Mr-IoT, and the founder of the iotsrg.org community. My passion lies in transforming IoT security knowledge into open-source resources. Over the years, I have worked on developing ICE-Bite hardware microprobing, an IoT pentesting OS, curated lists, and insightful blogs, all aimed at advancing the field of IoT security since 2017. As a keynote speaker at BSides Dehradun, I have also had the privilege of delivering workshops, training sessions, and villages at events like c0c0n, BSides Bangalore, VulnCon, CracCon, and the Null/OWASP Bangalore communities. I have nurtured and grown the iotsrg.org community across platforms such as Reddit, Telegram, and Discord, creating a vibrant and engaging space for sharing knowledge and fostering innovation in IoT security.
