A Layered Analysis on Navigating the Landscape of IoT Attacks: A Survey

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has become a focal point in contemporary research, capturing the imagination of researchers as they explore its transformative potential for the future. Despite the notable progress and development in the field of IoT, a host of vulnerabilities has surfaced, challenging the overall security of this technology. Interestingly, various attacks on IoT have been conceived even before its widespread commercial adoption. This study takes a deep dive into the realm of IoT attacks, categorizing them based on the layers of the IoT architecture. It aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of these attacks without delving into specific countermeasures. The given research study presents a state-of-the-art survey, shedding light on the diverse spectrum of attacks within the IoT framework, and contributing valuable insights to the ongoing discourse on IoT security.
