The term internet of thing (IoT) has gained much popularity in the last decade. Which can be defined as various connected devices over the internet. IoT has rapidly  spread to include all aspects of our lives. For instance, smart houses, smart cities, and variant wearable devices. IoT devices work to do their desired goals, which is to develop a person life with his/her minimal involvement. At the same time, IoT devices have many weaknesses, which attackers exploit to affect these devices security. Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) are considered the most common attacks that strike IoT security. The main aim of these attacks is to make victim systems down and inaccessible for legitimate users by malicious malware. This paper objective is to discuss and review security issues related to DoS/DDoS Attacks and their counter measures i.e. prevention based on IoT devices layers structure.

Abstract Internet of Things (IoT) opens up the possibility of agglomerations of different types of devices, Internet and human elements to provide extreme interconnectivity among them towards achieving a completely connected world of things. The mainstream adaptation of IoT technology and its widespread use has also opened up a whole new platform for cyber perpetrators mostly used for distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. In this paper, under the influence of internal and external nodes, a two - fold epidemic model is developed where attack on IoT devices is first achieved and then IoT based distributed attack of malicious objects on targeted resources in a network has been established. This model is mainly based on Mirai botnet made of IoT devices which came into the limelight with three major DDoS attacks in 2016. The model is analyzed at equilibrium points to find the conditions for their local and global stability. Impact of external nodes on the over-all model is critically analyzed. Numerical simulations are performed to validate the vitality of the model developed.

The Impact

One of the most notorious security issues in the IoT is the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. Using a large number of agents, DDoS attack floods the host server with a huge number of requests causing interrupting and blocking the legitimate user requests. This paper proposes a detection and prevention algorithm for DDoS attacks. It is divided into two parts, one for detecting the DDoS attack in the IoT end devices and the other for mitigating the impact of the attack placed on the border router. Also, it has the ability to differentiate the High-rate from the Lowrate DDoS attack accurately and defend against these two types of attacks. It is implemented and tested against different scenarios to dissect their efficiency in detecting and mitigating the DDoS attack.

The 2016 is remembered as the year that showed to the world how dangerous distributed Denial of Service attacks can be. Gauge of the disruptiveness of DDoS attacks is the number of bots involved: the bigger the botnet, the more powerful the attack. This character, along with the increasing availability of connected and insecure IoT devices, makes DDoS and IoT the perfect pair for the malware industry. In this paper we present the main idea behind AntibIoTic, a palliative solution to prevent DoS attacks perpetrated through IoT devices.

An increase of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks launched by botnets such as Mirai has raised public awareness regarding potential security weaknesses in the Internet of Things (IoT). Devices are an attractive target for attackers because of their large number and due to most devices being online 24/7. In addition, many traditional security mechanisms are not applicable for resource constraint IoT devices. The importance of security for cyber-physical systems (CPS) is even higher, as most systems process confidential data or control a physical process that could be harmed by attackers. While industrial IoT is a hot topic in research, not much focus is put on ensuring information security. Therefore, this paper intends to give an overview of current research regarding the security of data in industrial CPS. In contrast to other surveys, this work will provide an overview of the big CPS security picture and not focus on special aspects.

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack harms the digital availability in Internet. The user’s perspective of getting quick and effective services may be badly hit by the DDoS attackers. There are several reports of DDoS attack incidences that have caused devastating effects on the user and web services in the Internet world. In the present digital world dominated by wireless, mobile and IoT devices, the numbers of users are increasing day by day. Most of the users are novice and therefore their devices either fell prey to DDoS attacks or unknowingly add themselves to the DDoS attack Army. We soon will witness the 5G mobile revolution but there are reports that 5G networks are also falling prey to DDoS attacks and hence, the realization of DoS attack as a threat needs to be understood. The paper targets to assess the DDoS attack threat. It identifies the impact of attack and also reviews existing Indian laws.

Internet of Things is one of the most significant latest developments in computer science. It is common for modern computing infrastructures to partially consist of numerous low power devices that are characterized by high diversity in both hardware and software. Existing security models, approaches and solutions are not able to sufficiently protect such systems. In this paper we propose the use of lightweight agents installed at multiple internet of things (IoT) installations (e.g., smart-homes), in order to collaboratively detect distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks conducted by the use of IoT devices botnets. Specifically, agents exchange outbound traffic information in order to identify possible victims of DDoS attacks. This information exchange is governed by a blockchain smart contract, that ensures the integrity of both the procedure and the information. A simulation of the operation of the proposed methodology has been conducted in order to evaluate both its detection efficiency and its resilience against malicious agents that aim to falsify results.

Internet of Things (IoT) devices are not only finding increasing use in ordinary households, but they have also become a key element for the Industry 4.0 concept. The implementation of industrial IoT devices into production streamlines the production process and reduces production costs. On the other hand, connected IoT devices bring new security risks to production and expose an industrial environment to new types of attacks. The article analyzes the vulnerability of the production line with implemented industrial IoT devices with consideration of a possible Distributed Denial-of-service (DDoS) attack led by attackers from the internet. Various types of DDoS attacks abusing the presence of IoT devices in the system were performed on an automated production line implementing sorting, preparation, and dosing of bulk and liquid materials for filling into containers. The leading attacks caused failure of the production line during the production, as well as the dysfunction of communication with IoT devices. The article also demonstrates the implementation of countermeasures against DDoS attacks and possible strategies to protect and mitigate such attacks on the production line.

Distributed Denial of Service attacks are significant dangers these days over web applications and web administrations. These assaults pushing ahead towards application layer to procure furthermore, squander most extreme CPU cycles. By asking for assets from web benefits in gigantic sum utilizing quick fire of solicitations, assailant robotized programs use all the capacity of handling of single server application or circulated environment application. The periods of the plan execution is client conduct checking and identification. In to beginning with stage by social affair the data of client conduct and computing individual user’s trust score will happen and Entropy of a similar client will be ascertained. HTTP Unbearable Load King (HULK) attacks are also evaluated. In light of first stage, in recognition stage, variety in entropy will be watched and malevolent clients will be recognized. Rate limiter is additionally acquainted with stop or downsize serving the noxious clients. This paper introduces the FAÇADE layer for discovery also, hindering the unapproved client from assaulting the framework.
