Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) includes physical devices such as sensors, connected home appliances, video monitoring systems, and smart classroom or smart warehouse applications. These devices can capture large amounts of data while using low amount of power to do it, as well as keep track of things going on around it and turn it into usable data for the user depending on what task it is performing.
IoT devices are not immune from security concerns, such as Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. These attacks are important to investigate because they can play a dangerous role in shutting down applications, shutting down entire networks, and can potentially interfere with data in systems that are found in organizations like stores and commerce, banks, government facilities and many other places. Understanding how DoS attacks affect IoT nodes can lead to more robust security in the future.
