Poster Abstract: Good Advice That Just Doesn't Help

Abstract

Guidelines exist for designing less vulnerable "things", but how useful are they in practice? To answer this question we present high-level analysis of the state of best practices in Internet of Things. We examined six sets of best practices, combining them into a single set. We then take that union and examine their applicability to three large-scale events. We evaluate if the best practices had been followed, would these have prevented the large scale abuse of IoT devices.
