IoTZeroJar: Towards a Honeypot Architecture for Detection of Zero-Day Attacks in IoT

Abstract

IoT enables the communication of electronic devices and sensors with the Internet using standard protocols to achieve autonomy, robustness, and reliable data exchange among devices and real applications. The wide variety of IoT devices has led to raising concerns about the security of interconnected devices. IoT manufacturers have been increasing recently, which has resulted in building IoT devices with different standards, protocols, features, and technologies. However, the lack of implementation of security features for IoT devices has led the IoT devices to be susceptible to attacks and targeted by adversaries. In order to provide an efficient honeypot-based solution, it should benefit from the malicious traffic in the filtering phase to detect zero-day attacks. In this paper, we propose IoTZeroJar, a honeypot system to detect the attacker's malicious activities and analyze zero-day attacks.
