Abstract

The Internet of Things is a rapidly growing global network of devices. Due to a rapid growth, security issues are also associated with Distributed Denial of Service attacks on these devices. Nowadays, cyber-attacks are a chronic Internet affair. There are two views of attacks. In the first view, the goal is to disrupt the flow of service in any way. This type of attack is called Denial of Service. In the second view, the goal is to abuse Internet of Things devices for attacking so that the device sends a packet to a non-existent port, and a response with an error automatically sends the device to an unsuspecting victim. The Internet of Things thermostat, which is popular in both, home and industrial areas, has been selected to investigate these types of attacks. The article illustrates the possibility of attacking the Internet of Things device as well as integrating the Distributed Reflection Denial of Service targeted attack device into specific victims.
