Security Analysis and Prevention of Attacks on IoT Devices

As the demand for smart devices in homes increases, more and more manufacturers have been launching these devices on a mass scale. But what they are missing out on is taking care of the security part of these IoT devices which results in a more vulnerable system. This paper presents an idea through a small-scale working model and the studies that made the same possible. IoT devices face numerous threats these days with the ease of access to powerful hacking tools such as aircrack-ng which provides services like monitoring, attacking and cracking Wifi networks. The essential thought of the proposed system is to give an idea of how some common attacks are carried out, how these attacks work and to device some form of prevention as an additional security layer for IoT devices in general. The system proposed here prevents most forms of attacks that target the victim IoT device using their MAC addresses. These include DoS and DDoS attacks, both of which are the main focus of this paper. This paper also points out some of the future research work that can be followed up.
