An Empirical Review on Security Scheme in IOT

IoT promotes great development in our environment in terms of social development, financial benefits and government affairs. However, the weak point of this technology is its exploitation as a networking platform to activate widespread, distributed and destructive cyber-attacks. A botnet is the combination of several bots that are made with the purpose of carrying out attacks on selected networks that are usually controlled by a bot master and through a command-and-control protocol. They are compromised computers usually controlled by the attacker from a very far place without any indication of the attack being carried out. The botnets differ in size ranging from a few 100 bots to a large number of 50,000 hosts.
