Footprinting Techniques Footprinting techniques are used to collect basic information about the target IoT and OT platforms to exploit them. Information collected through footprinting techniques ncludes IP address, hostname, ISP, device location, banner of the target IoT device, FCC ID information, certification granted to the device, etc. pg. 5052 ECHv11 manual

Information Gathering using FCC ID Search FCC ID Search helps in finding the details and granted certification of the devices. FCC ID contains two elements: Grantee ID (initial three or five characters) and Product ID (remaining characters). Attackers can gather basic information about a target device using FCC ID Search available on https://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid Using this information, an attacker can find underlying vulnerabilities in the target device and launch further attacks.

Every wireless electronic device sold in the United States is issued a unique ID by the Federal Communications Commission, known as the FCC. Each regulated device must be tested at a testing facility and labeled with a unique identification code before it can be marketed and sold in the United States. Once a wireless radio device is certified, the regulatory testing results are kept in a searchable public database. The FCC ID code that is on/assigned to every regulated wireless devices can be used to perform an FCC ID search. There are photos and RF laboratory testing results available for viewing for research and transparences purposes.

FCC ID Search can be used to look up detailed information on the device if an FCC identification number is printed on the board (or found otherwise). This search will return information on the manufacturer, model, and chipset pg. 2252 CEHv11 e-book
