All Things Considered: An Analysis of IoT Devices on Home NetworksSaeidGhasemshirazi
In this paper, we provide the first large-scale empirical analysis of IoT devices in real-world homes by leveraging data collected from user-initiated network scans of 83M devices in 16M households. We find that IoT adoption is widespread: on several continents, more than half of households already have at least one IoT device. Device types and manufacturer popularity vary dramatically across regions. For example, while nearly half of North American homes have an Internet-connected television or streaming device, less than three percent do in South Asia where the majority of devices are surveillance cameras. We investigate the security posture of devices, detailing their open services, weak default credentials, and vulnerability to known attacks. Device security similarly varies geographically, even for specific manufacturers. For example, while less than 17% of TP-Link home routers in North America have guessable passwords, nearly half do in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. We argue that IoT devices are here, but for most homes, the types of devices adopted are not the ones actively discussed. We hope that by shedding light on this complex ecosystem, we help the security community develop solutions that are applicable to today's homes.
In the largest global study of the Internet of Things in consumers’ homes, researchers from Avast and Stanford University have shown a surprising emergence of IoT devices in consumer homes and shed light on troubling number of devices that continue to use guessable passwords.
The study provides the first large-scale empirical analysis of IoT devices by leveraging user-initiated network scans of 83 million devices in 16 million households worldwide.
The findings will be published in a paper, All Things Considered: An Analysis of IoT Devices on Home Networks, which will be appearing at USENIX Security this week. Avast researchers scanned the devices to understand the distribution of IoT devices by type and manufacturer and to understand the security profiles of various devices. The findings were validated and analyzed in collaboration with Stanford researchers.

The keynote presentation discusses the challenges and strategies for connecting internet of things (IOT) devices to enterprise IT networks. Some main points include:
1) IOT devices are often insecure and can introduce vulnerabilities if connected to corporate networks. Many lack proper security configurations.
2) Connecting thousands of additional devices will strain network and device management. Issues include volume, latency, power, upgrades, and redundancy.
3) The presentation evaluates strategies like building separate networks, creating a unified network, or a hybrid approach. Each case requires considering priorities like security, costs, and manageability.
WHITE PAPER▶ Insecurity in the Internet of ThingsSymantec
The Internet of Things (IoT) market has begun to take off. Consumers can buy connected versions of nearly every household appliance available. However, despite its increasing acceptance by consumers, recent studies of IoT devices seem to agree that “security” is not a word that gets associated with this category of devices, leaving consumers potentially exposed.
To find out for ourselves how IoT devices fare when it comes to security, we analyzed 50 smart home devices that are available today. We found that none of the devices enforced strong passwords, used mutual authentication, or protected accounts against brute-force attacks. Almost two out of ten of the mobile apps used to control the tested IoT devices did not use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to encrypt communications to the cloud. The tested IoT technology also contained many common vulnerabilities.
All of the potential weaknesses that could afflict IoT systems, such as authentication and traffic encryption, are already well known to the security industry, but despite this, known mitigation techniques are often neglected on these devices. IoT vendors need to do a better job on security before their devices become ubiquitous in every home, leaving millions of people at risk of cyberattacks

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network of physical devices embedded with electronics, software and sensors that enables them to connect, exchange and analyze data. As IoT devices continue to proliferate, collecting vast amounts of personal and behavioral data, privacy and security concerns have emerged. Due to low costs pressures, many IoT devices are designed without adequate security protections. This exposes them to hacks that could compromise personal privacy or gain control of devices. Users need to carefully research devices, change default passwords, enable automatic updates and isolate IoT networks to help secure their personal data in an increasingly connected world.
This module discusses securing laptop computers from physical and digital threats. It describes how laptops can be targeted for theft due to the sensitive data stored on them.

The Mirai botnet, composed primarily of embedded and IoT devices, took the Internet by storm in late 2016 when it overwhelmed several high-profile targets with massive distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. In this paper, we provide a seven-month retrospective analysis of Mirai’s growth to a peak of 600k infections and a history of its DDoS victims. By combining a variety of measurement perspectives, we analyze how the botnet emerged, what classes of devices were affected, and how Mirai variants evolved and competed for vulnerable hosts. Our measurements serve as a lens into the fragile ecosystem of IoT devices. We argue that Mirai may represent a sea change in the evolutionary development of botnets—the simplicity through which devices were infected and its precipitous growth, demonstrate that novice malicious techniques can compromise enough low-end devices to threaten even some of the best-defended targets. To address this risk, we recommend technical and nontechnical interventions, as well as propose future research directions.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

Today, I'd like to take you through the key points we'll be covering in our discussion. Here's a brief overview of the table of contents for our presentation:
First and foremost, let's clarify what we mean by IoT in this study. Simply put, we're talking about the growing trend of everyday objects in our homes being connected to the internet. These can range from smart thermostats to security cameras and everything in between.
By keeping in this mind, lets move on the next step in this research.
Before we continue, let me ask you a question: How many IoT devices do you think there are in 2024?
Lets see some statistics that are updated as of today.
As we can see, this widespread adoption has clearly a big impact on day to day life.
The researchers in this paper utilized Avast for several reasons.
Firstly, Avast enabled them to perform internal network scans, helping identify all devices connected to the network.
Secondly, Avast facilitated the detection of weak security measures, such as default credentials, across these devices.
Additionally, Avast's capabilities allowed the researchers to assess the vulnerability of devices to known recent Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), including exploits like EternalBlue.
EternalBlue—a leaked NSA exploit targeting SMB on Windows that was primarily responsible for the WannaCry outbreak that impacted millions of Windows devices in 2017
The Avast WiFi Inspector works by checking the ports that devices on your network are using. Different types of devices often use specific ports by default. For example, if it finds ports like 80, 443, 23, and 53, it might mean there's a router in your network. On the other hand, ports like 21, 22, and 23 could indicate the presence of surveillance cameras. This method helps quickly identify the types of devices connected to your network based on the ports they use.
They categorize each device into specific groups, and there are 14 categories in total.
In this step, they use special rules, kind of like patterns, to classify each device. For example:
If a device appears through DHCP and matches the pattern for a Samsung Network Printer, it's labeled as a Printer.
Devices found through mDNS with a name like NanoLeaf are categorized as Lighting.
Those detected via UPnP with a device type containing "hub2" are labeled as IoT Hubs.
Devices recognized through HTTP with a title mentioning Polycom are categorized as VoIP Phones.
These rules help to easily sort devices into specific categories based on how they appear on the network.
Shodan, Nmap, ML.
Here's an easy summary of the methodology:
Devices are categorized into one of 14 classes based on their vendor.
Finally, they tested the system on 1,000 devices they hadn't seen before.
In North America, more than two-thirds of households, specifically 66.3%, have adopted IoT devices.
For instance, in North America, approximately 66.3% of homes have at least one IoT device, with a median of 7 devices per household.
In contrast, South Asia has lower adoption rates, with only 8.7% of homes having IoT devices, and on average, each household has 2 such devices.
The problem is 2-3 is present only pc and router!
Regional Variations: The types and popularity of IoT devices fluctuate across worldwide areas, reflecting varying consumer tastes and technology infrastructures.
As we discuses we saw that everyone has a different opinion regarding the most popular category of IoT devices.
However, this also really happens when are talking about different region in the world.
Media: TV & Stream devices
Localized Security Awareness Campaigns:
Vendor Collaboration and Standards:
Regional Partnerships:
Continuous Monitoring and Vulnerability Management:
Education and Training Programs:
Work Appliances:
Economic factor
Work colture
Technology access
Government policy
etc
Device Preferences:
The varying popularity of different device types across locations demonstrates the impact of cultural, economic, and technological factors on consumer decisions.Vendor Dominance:
Identifying significant suppliers and their regional distribution provides insights into the competitive landscape and market dynamics that influence worldwide IoT device adoption.Market Implications:
Understanding regional distribution trends is critical for firms and governments developing strategies that are responsive to specific market demands and regulatory settings.
Regions vary in terms of IoT device vulnerability.
North America has the smallest vulnerable population of Telnet devices, and only 14% of FTP devices in Western Europe support weak credentials.
However, we learned that more than 55% of FTP devices in Sub-Saharan Africa are weak;
and more than half of the devices in Southeast Asia that support FTP have a guessable password.
Education and Awareness:
Raise awareness among users about the importance of strong and unique passwords.
Educate users on the risks associated with default or weak credentials.
Default Credential Management:
Manufacturers should implement secure default credentials for their devices.
Encourage users to change default passwords immediately upon device installation.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA):
Implement MFA wherever possible to add an additional layer of security.
Even if weak credentials are compromised, MFA can prevent unauthorized access.
Regular Password Updates:
Encourage users to regularly update passwords for their IoT devices.
Implement notifications or reminders for users to change passwords periodically.
Network Segmentation:
Segment the home network to isolate IoT devices from critical systems.
Limit the potential impact of a compromised IoT device by restricting its access.
Firmware and Software Updates:
Ensure that IoT devices receive regular firmware and software updates.
Updates often include security patches and improvements that can mitigate vulnerabilities.
Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS):
Implement IDPS to detect and block unauthorized access attempts.
Set up alerts for suspicious activities related to weak credential usage.
Geographical Access Controls:
Implement access controls based on geographic locations, restricting access to IoT devices from specific regions known for high malicious activity.
Collaboration and Information Sharing:
Foster collaboration between security organizations, manufacturers, and users to share information about emerging threats and best practices.
Regulatory Measures:
Advocate for and comply with regulatory measures that enforce strong security practices for IoT devices.
Vendor Responsibility: Major vendors play an important role in addressing security vulnerabilities by installing strong security features, providing timely updates, and maintaining open communication with customers.Collaboration between vendors and security professionals is critical for improving IoT security, which includes threat intelligence sharing, vulnerability disclosure programs, and coordinated initiatives to tighten security standards.Consumer Trust and Confidence: Proactive engagement with consumers to prioritize security and privacy builds trust and confidence in IoT products and services, resulting in a safe and resilient IoT ecosystem.
Understanding the constantly changing nature of IoT security concerns is critical for anticipating emerging threats and vulnerabilities.Strategies for anticipating and managing future IoT security risks should include proactive risk assessment, adaptive security measures, and constant monitoring to keep ahead of changing threat environments.Regulatory Considerations: Working with regulatory organizations to establish future security standards and compliance requirements is critical to creating a safe and trustworthy IoT environment.
