“…Among them, we focus on the mesh topology in this paper. In ZigBee has the network is controlled by the ZigBee coordinator which is responsible for initiating and maintaining the devices on the network [8].IEEE 802.15.4 there is the foundation for zigbee network stack architecture that's why it directly use PHY and MAC layer for 802.15.4 standard [8]. ZigBee routers usually employed to extend size of network.…”

ZigBee is used for emerging standard of lowpower, low-rate wireless communication which aims at interoperability and covers a full range of devices even including low-end battery-powered nodes. Zigbee is a specification for a suite of high-level communication protocols used to create personal area network built from small network. Zigbee network are vulnerable to Sybil attack in which a Sybil node send forges multiple identities to trick the system and conduct harmful attack. We propose a Sybil attack detection and prevention method using distance and address of node in Zigbee. In this technique, trusted node verifies other nodes and identifies the malicious node. We will implement this technique using NS2 with AODV protocol for mesh topology.

“…This kind of attack enables hackers to influence routing, information exchange, etc. by generating multiple legal messages having different sources by one node with virtually multiple identities in the network [3]. In special situations, this kind of attack can be detected in WSNs as Lee et al have shown in [3] by a method based on a challenge-response approach for tree-based sensor topologies.…”

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have recently emerged as an important research topic. Due to the enormous number of sensor nodes and the constrained resources, specific research challenges can be identified with respect to security. Almost all available commercial and research sensor nodes are equipped with ZigBee transceiver chips, and thus making ZigBee the de-facto standard in WSN communication. Since Joshua Wright's KillerBee Framework was released with its focus on exploring and exploiting the security of ZigBee networks, non security-hardened WSNs increase the risk of being vulnerable against certain attacks such as simple association flooding and packet replay attacks. We propose an anomaly-based approach intrusion detection system (IDS) optimized for ZigBee-based WSN to protect ZigBee-based WSN nodes against KillerBee supported attacks. We describe the KillerBee attack procedure and propose an approach of guarding a ZigBee transceiver. Based on an extended sensor node/network simulation and analysis framework, we demonstrate furthermore how our anomaly-based detection engine can thwart attacks on a ZigBee transceiver.

“…The aim of this attack is to convince the other devices that the malicious node is a legitimate node. In this way, a malicious node may, for example, access all services of the network or identify itself as a ZigBee router [33]. Another type of attack is performed if the enemy can physically access a ZigBee device.…”

Internet of Things networks represent an emerging phenomenon bringing connectivity to common sensors. Due to the limited capabilities and to the sensitive nature of the devices, security assumes a crucial and primary role. In this paper, we report an innovative and extremely dangerous threat targeting IoT networks. The attack is based on Remote AT Commands exploitation, providing a malicious user with the possibility of reconfiguring or disconnecting IoT sensors from the network. We present the proposed attack and evaluate its efficiency by executing tests on a real IoT network. Results demonstrate how the threat can be successfully executed and how it is able to focus on the targeted nodes, without affecting other nodes of the network.
