The world is resorting to the Internet of Things (IoT) for ease of control and monitoring of smart devices. The ubiquitous use of IoT ranges from Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to e-Health, e-Commerce, smart cities, supply chain management, smart cars, Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) and a lot more. Such reliance on IoT is resulting in a significant amount of data to be generated, collected, processed and analyzed. The big data analytics is no doubt beneficial for business development. However, at the same time, numerous threats to the availability and privacy of the user data, message and device integrity, the vulnerability of IoT devices to malware attacks and the risk of physical compromise of devices pose a significant danger to the sustenance of IoT. This paper thus endeavors to highlight most of the known threats at various layers of the IoT architecture with a focus on the anatomy of malware attacks. We present a detailed attack methodology adopted by some of the most successful malware attacks on IoT including ICS and CPS. We also deduce an attack strategy of a Distributed Denial of Service attack through IoT botnet followed by requisite security measures. In the end, we propose a composite guideline for the development of an IoT security framework based on industry best practices and also highlight lessons learned, pitfalls and the open research challenges. Index Terms-Threats to the IoT, Internet of Things, malware attacks on the Internet of Things, attack methodology, security and privacy, IoT security framework, security guidelines.

“…Similarly, the threats to the availability of the network/services are; hello flood attack, selective forwarding, Sybil attack, wormhole attack, blackhole attack [10] and storage attacks [8]. DoS Attacks can also be launched by sending fake/false messages to a node, server [41] or a gateway device [88].…”

“…Most of the threats arises from the gap in authentication and integrity. Some of the most common attacks other than ransomware are Denial of Service (DoS) attack [88], Unapproved Access of data and gateway attacks [89]. The network can get compromised while transmitting the data leading to problems.…”

The use of IoT devices are increasing rapidly. Since it integrates lots of devices, it provides lots of benefits to the users. Large companies also have started using it for coordination between the people and machines. However, Security is a major issue faced by IoT network. Trust is something that is necessary between the devices, which means that the data is transmitted without any tests to the trusted devices. IoT devices have very less security features since upgrades and patches are virtually non-existent. This makes it vulnerable to various attacks like Ransomware. Hackers will simply be able to take control of an IoT device and demand ransom for letting it go. This may get problematic especially in household devices. It is necessary to identify a solution for this this since IoT is still in the budding stage. Hence this work will analyse various available attacks in IoT and provide solutions to combat the ransomware.
