Exploiting The Iot Through Network-Based Covert Channels, Kyle S. Harris
Exploiting The Iot Through Network-Based Covert Channels, Kyle S. Harris
Theses and Dissertations
Information leaks are a top concern to industry and government leaders. The IoT is a technology capable of sensing real-world events. A method for exfiltrating data from these devices is by covert channel. This research designs a novel IoT CTC without the need for inter-packet delays to encode data. Instead, it encodes data within preexisting network information, namely ports or addresses. Additionally, the CTC can be implemented in two different modes: Stealth and Bandwidth. Performance is measured using throughput and detectability. The Stealth methods mimic legitimate traffic captures while the Bandwidth methods forgo this approach for maximum throughput. Detection results …

Development Of A National-Scale Big Data Analytics Pipeline To Study The Potential Impacts Of Flooding On Critical Infrastructures And Communities, Nattapon Donratanapat
Theses and Dissertations
With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Big data infrastructure, crowdsourcing techniques have emerged to facilitate data processing and problem solving particularly for flood emergences purposes. A Flood Analytics Information System (FAIS) has been developed as a Python Web application to gather Big data from multiple servers and analyze flooding impacts during historical and real-time events. The application is smartly designed to integrate crowd intelligence, machine learning (ML), and natural language processing of tweets to provide flood warning with the aim to improve situational awareness for flood risk management and decision making. FAIS allows the user …
Examining Effectiveness Of Web-Based Internet Of Things Honeypots, Lukas A. Stafira
Examining Effectiveness Of Web-Based Internet Of Things Honeypots, Lukas A. Stafira
Theses and Dissertations
The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing at an alarming rate. It is estimated that there will be over 25 billion IoT devices by 2020. The simplicity of their function usually means that IoT devices have low processing power, which prevent them from having intricate security features, leading to vulnerabilities. This makes IoT devices the prime target of attackers in the coming years. Honeypots are intentionally vulnerable machines that run programs which appear as a vulnerable device to a would-be attacker. They are placed on a network to entice and trap an attacker and then gather information on them, including …
A Practical Wireless Exploitation Framework For Z-Wave Networks, Joseph L. Hall
A Practical Wireless Exploitation Framework For Z-Wave Networks, Joseph L. Hall
Theses and Dissertations
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are a growing subset of the emerging Internet of Things (IoT). WSNs reduce the cost of deployment over wired alternatives; consequently, use is increasing in home automation, critical infrastructure, smart metering, and security solutions. Few published works evaluate the security of proprietary WSN protocols due to the lack of low-cost and effective research tools. One such protocol is ITU-T G.9959-based Z-Wave, which maintains wide acceptance within the IoT market. This research utilizes an open source toolset, presented herein, called EZ-Wave to identify methods for exploiting Z-Wave devices and networks using Software-Defined Radios (SDR). Herein, techniques enabling …
