The Internet of Things (IoT) revolution has not only carried the astonishing promise to interconnect a whole generation of traditionally “dumb” devices, but also brought to the Internet the menace of billions of badly protected and easily hackable objects. Not surprisingly, this sudden flooding of fresh and insecure devices fueled older threats, such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. In this paper, we first propose an updated and comprehensive taxonomy of DDoS attacks, together with a number of examples on how this classification maps to real-world attacks. Then, we outline the current situation of DDoS-enabled malwares in IoT networks, highlighting how recent data support our concerns about the growing in popularity of these malwares. Finally, we give a detailed analysis of the general framework and the operating principles of Mirai, the most disruptive DDoS-capable IoT malware seen so far.

Abstract—The Internet of Things (IOT) has gained a significant attention in the last years. It covers multiple domains and applications such as smart home, smart healthcare, IT transportation...etc. the highly dynamic nature of the IOT environment brings to the service discovery new challenges and requirements. As a result, discovering the desirable services has become very challenging. In this paper, we aim to address the IoT service discovery problem and investigate the existing solutions to tackle this problem in many aspects, therefore we present a full comparative analysis of the most representative (or outstanding) service discovery approaches in the literature over four perspectives: (1) the IoT service description model, (2) the mechanism of IoT service discovery, (3) the adopted architecture and (4) the context awareness.

The internet of things (IoT) offers a range of benefits for its users, ranging from quicker and more precise perception of our ecosystem to more cost-effective monitoring of manufacturing applications, by taking internet access to the things. Due to the ubiquitous existence of the internet, there's been an increasing pace in the IoT. Such a growing pace has brought about the term of IoT ecosystem. This exponential growing IoT ecosystem will encounter several challenges in its path. Computing domains were used from very initial stage to assist the IoT ecosystem and mitigate those challenges. To understand the impact of computing domains in IoT ecosystem, this paper performs the elaborative study on cloud, fog, roof, and dew computing including their interaction, benefits, and limitations in IoT ecosystem. The brief comparative analysis on these four computing domains are then performed. The impact of internet and offline computing on these computing domains are then analyzed in depth. Finally, this paper presents the suggestions of potential appropriate computing domain strategies for IoT ecosystems.

The article attempts to determine how members of different generations perceive the Internet of Things (IoT) in consumer applications, and whether despite its growing popularity, intergenerational differences in terms of the perception of IoT technology are significant. An intergenerational comparative analysis was conducted based on CAWI study results. The data for the analysis came from a sample of 241 respondents. In light of the obtained results, the hypothesis assuming that members of individual generations differ significantly in terms of the perceived utility of the IoT devices in consumer applications was not confirmed. The influence of age as a variable differentiating the perception of possibilities of application of the Internet of Things in various economic sectors was also not confirmed.
