Smart Home IoT Traffic Characteristics as a Basis for DDoS Traffic Detection

Distributed denial of Service (DDoS) attack is a continuous threat to the availability of information and communication resources. The development and growth of acceptance and the continuous increase in the number of devices within the IoT concept provides the platform for the implementation of DDoS attacks of significantly greater traffic intensity than is currently possible. Numerous botnet networks, where the most prominent representative is Mirai botnet, use the inadequate protection of IoT devices in the smart home environment for generating illegitimate DDoS traffic. To further development of the timely DDoS traffic detection generated in the aforementioned environment, this research seeks to establish the diversity of traffic generated by IoT devices in a smart home environment with respect to the traffic generated through human type communication. Research results will represent base for the future development of new models aimed at detecting this specific DDoS traffic type.
