Segurança em IoT: simulação de ataque em uma rede RPL utilizando Contiki

Abstract

The Internet of Things Internet of things is a technology that has been growing a lot and gaining prominence in the world scenario. The Internet of Things provides everyday objects with computing and communication capabilities to connect to the internet. This connection will enable remote control of objects, access them as service providers, and become intelligent objects or smart objects. Intelligent objects have communication and processing capabilities together with sensors. Currently, not only are conventional computers connected to the Internet, but also a great variety of equipment such as TVs, laptops, refrigerators, stoves, appliances, automobiles, smartphones, among others. In this new scenario, plurality is growing and predictions indicate that more than 50 billion devices will be connected by 2020. Using smart objects will be able to detect their context, control it, make it possible to exchange information with each other, access services the internet and interact with people. In parallel, a range of new application possibilities arise, such as, for example, smart cities; health (smart healthcare); smart homes and challenges emerge (regulations, security, standardization). These new skills of intelligent objects will generate a large number of research and project opportunities in the academic and business spheres. In addition to the development of technologies, research and treatment of the applicable security aspects in Internet infrastructure of things will be carried out. In order for this new system to be possible, it is necessary to have a complex communication technology infrastructure, in order to maintain the entire process with a robust and reliable security, and to allow the user quickness. This work focuses on the simulation of attacks against IoT networks, using Contiki software with the Cooja simulator, in order to verify the vulnerability and potential of the IoT network.
