WiFi IoT Pentesting Sandbox

Security researchers need isolated environments to test IoT vulnerabilities over WiFi. A curl-able sandbox (like Mezz) provides a safe, local testing environment without affecting real networks.

IoT security is a genuine growth area — CVE volume for embedded and wireless devices has climbed steadily, and frameworks like Matter and Thread are pushing more devices onto WiFi networks, expanding the attack surface researchers need to understand. No clear incumbent dominates the isolated WiFi IoT sandbox space; Hack The Box and TryHackMe cover CTF-style labs but not curl-able, programmable sandbox infrastructure for WiFi-layer testing specifically. The $1k–5k/mo revenue band is plausible only if the target is individual researchers or small red teams paying $20–50/month, which means needing 20–100 paying users — achievable but thin, and it never scales well without moving upmarket to enterprise security teams. The biggest risk is that serious practitioners already build their own air-gapped lab environments with commodity hardware and open-source tooling like hostapd and Scapy, making the willingness-to-pay argument hard to prove at any meaningful scale.
