Abstract

Internet of things (IoT) is one of the emerging areas which connects billions of the devices across the world through Internet. Security and privacy in such a technological era is one of the major challenges. The IoT devices are vulnerable to dangerous attacks at various layers such as application layer, network layer, and perception layer because of their simple architecture and less secure network. In this paper, we mainly focus on the network layer security of IoT. We provide a detailed taxonomy of various attack and security tools at the network layer of IoT. We also provide a comparative analysis of these tools. We hope that our work will be helpful to the researchers working in the area of IoT security to gain better understanding about various existing tools.
