Currently available: https://www.offensivecon.org/trainings/2026/exploiting-smartphones-through-baseband.html Last summer, I had an opportunity to join TASZK Security Labs for a summer internship. The target we selected for this 2 months project was to hack Xiaomi Security Cameras, specifically a Xiaomi C400 Smart Camera, a very popular device in our market that we also happened to already have at hand. We defined two end goals: create an RCE exploit via any wireless/LAN interface use the exploit to create a full “cloud jailbreak” The motivation for the latter was that we knew that these devices are heavily dependent for their operation on the Xiaomi Smartphone Application and Xiaomi Cloud Server.
