Article Synopsis
- The rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) has led to the creation of new communication technologies, particularly the MQTT protocol, which while essential, is susceptible to cyber threats like DoS and DDoS attacks.
- Existing intrusion detection systems (IDS) do not adequately support specific IoT protocols like MQTT, leaving devices vulnerable to attacks from malformed packets.
- The authors propose a new MQTT parsing engine that can be integrated with network-based IDS, showcasing improved detection of IoT protocol vulnerabilities through thorough validation of packet fields.
