Denial Of Service Attack Detection Through Machine Learning For The Iot, Naeem Firdous Syed, Zubair Baig, Ahmed Ibrahim, Craig Valli

Research outputs 2014 to 2021

Sustained Internet of Things (IoT) deployment and functioning are heavily reliant on the use of effective data communication protocols. In the IoT landscape, the publish/subscribe-based Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol is popular. Cyber security threats against the MQTT protocol are anticipated to increase at par with its increasing use by IoT manufacturers. In particular, IoT is vulnerable to protocol-based Application layer Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, which have been known to cause widespread service disruption in legacy systems. In this paper, we propose an Application layer DoS attack detection framework for the MQTT protocol and test the scheme on …


Iot-Mqtt Based Denial Of Service Attack Modelling And Detection, Naeem Firdous Syed Jan 2020

Iot-Mqtt Based Denial Of Service Attack Modelling And Detection, Naeem Firdous Syed

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

Internet of Things (IoT) is poised to transform the quality of life and provide new business opportunities with its wide range of applications. However, the bene_ts of this emerging paradigm are coupled with serious cyber security issues. The lack of strong cyber security measures in protecting IoT systems can result in cyber attacks targeting all the layers of IoT architecture which includes the IoT devices, the IoT communication protocols and the services accessing the IoT data. Various IoT malware such as Mirai, BASHLITE and BrickBot show an already rising IoT device based attacks as well as the usage of infected …
