Man-In-The-Middle Attack Based on ARP Spoofing in IoT Educational Platform

Although the development and implementation of IoT systems is a very popular area in education, there is a perception that still not enough attention is devoted to the security of IoT systems, especially in a practical manner. This is especially important for the utilization of IoT in mission-critical applications that demand a high level of security. Accordingly, in this paper, an IoT educational platform for testing security vulnerabilities of IoT systems is presented. During the professional internship, students will get familiar, in a practical way, with the ease of address resolution protocol (ARP) spoofing attack, using the proposed educational platform. Also, students will simultaneously learn defense mechanisms.
