scanning for smartwatch vulnerabilities on local Wi-Fi

My name is Duwain Hofmeester I am currently study towards my Honours degree in Computer science at the University of the Western Cape.

In this project, we will be focusing on developing a Wi-Fi hotspot tool, which contains a vulnerability scanner that will scan fitness trackers (smartwatches) for any vulnerabilities. Machine learning techniques will be used to predict the severity of the vulnerabilities found on the smartwatch (fitness tracker).This project aims to educate fitness tracker wearers of the dangers of connecting to an insecure Wi-Fi hotspot, and also to discover the vulnerabilities associated with the various fitness trackers
