      • What is IoT Inspector?

        Built by academic researchers, IoT Inspector is an open-source desktop app that lets you visualize what your smart home IoT devices are doing behind the scene and identify potential security and privacy violations

        Visualize network activities

        What are my devices doing?

        See what your devices are doing, how many bytes they are sending and receiving, and which companies they are communicating with

        Identify security and privacy risks

        Are my devices hacked?

        Based on the network activities, you can see whether your devices are sending data when they are not supposed to, or to companies you don't know about
