- 构建双代理框架,用大模型规划攻击路径并执行漏洞利用
- 在260次测试中平均成功率达95.0%,多数攻击两分钟内完成
- 适合安全研究人员快速验证物联网系统弱点
物联网系统因硬件受限、固件过时和默认配置不安全而天然易受攻击,亟需可扩展且自适应的安全测试方法。尽管大语言模型(LLM)代理在渗透测试和夺旗赛中展现潜力,但其在物联网特定漏洞中的应用尚未探索。本文提出自主多代理框架VEXAIoT,通过基于LLM的推理与进攻工具结合,实现物联网环境中的漏洞发现与利用。该框架包含漏洞检测代理和攻击执行代理,协同完成侦察、攻击序列规划及漏洞利用。在物联网靶机IoTGoat和Metasploitable2中,针对十类符合OWASP物联网漏洞标准的场景进行评估。实验结果表明,攻击成功率最高达100%,令牌开销低,多数攻击平均执行时间低于两分钟。260次攻击中,总体成功率为95.0%,其中IoTGoat为94.5%,Metasploitable2为96.7%。这些结果证明了基于LLM的代理在可控环境中自动化物联网漏洞评估与攻防流程的可行性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Internet of Things (IoT) systems are inherently vulnerable due to constrained hardware, outdated firmware, and insecure default configurations, creating a need for scalable and adaptive security testing approaches. While recent adoptions of Large Language Model (LLM) agents have demonstrated promise in penetration testing and Capture-the-Flag (CTF) environments, their application to IoT specific vulnerabilities remains unexplored. This paper presents an autonomous multi-agent framework, referred to as Vulnerability EXploitation using AI Agents (VEXAIoT), for vulnerability discovery and exploitation in IoT environments using LLM-based reasoning and offensive security tools. The framework combines a vulnerability detection agent and an attack execution agent to perform reconnaissance, plan attack sequences, and execute exploits against vulnerable IoT services. The system is evaluated in IoTGoat and Metasploitable environments across ten attack scenarios mapped to OWASP IoT vulnerabilities. Experimental results show attack success rate of up to 100% with low token overhead and average execution times under two minutes for most attacks. Across 260 attack executions, VEXAIoT achieves a 95.0% overall success rate, including 94.5% success in IoTGoat and 96.7% success in Metasploitable2. These results demonstrate the potential for LLM-driven agents to automate IoT vulnerability assessment and offensive security workflows in controlled environments
