Abstract:

This thesis focuses on the rapidly growing Internet of things firmware security analysis and to propose standard security measures and IoT module for detecting threats and malicious activities to decrease the risk and to take appropriate measures. The introductory part contains the objectives of the thesis and the methodology by which the goals will be achieved. The theoretical or literature part is dedicated to mostly to identify IoT devices, Attack surfaces and IoT security and privacy challenges and the researches which is done related to this work. The practical part describes the firmware selection criteria’s to identify different vendors, devices and firmware’s. The next section shows the security analysis and results of security findings on that selected firmware’s to show the overall risks of the current IoT environment. Finally, briefly show the proposed system design model and activities for IoT cyber threat detection module (ICTDM) and each subcomponent. The final section shows the result and discussion, firmware risk analysis of these thesis and best practices to secure the IoT environment. Then concludes this work by describing the future work for IoT Devices.
