Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the most prominent technologies on the Internet. Simple objects gain the ability to store, process and exchange information among themselves or with external entities, by observing and controlling the environment. Thanks to the rapid development of this innovation, IoT opens possibilities to a huge number of objects and applications that promise to improve our daily life. The main scenarios of the development of IoT are home automation/domestic and Industrial IoT. According to such scenarios, several applications could be implemented: from smart thermostats, light bulbs, refrigerators, ovens, door window sensors to volumetric, flow, heat and connected data processing devices. Since this is a new phenomenon, it has not yet been studied and analyzed for its entirety, also due to the lack of a definitive standard that can provide an overview of these devices. The objective of this paper is to implement different well-known attacks against IoT networks, by adopting the ZigBee communication protocol to analyze devices and network security. For our aim, we have considered different scenarios involving an attacker aiming to dismantle the IoT network (jamming, flooding DoS), retrieve sensitive information (sniffing, brute force password crack) and to actively communicate on the network to impersonate legitimate nodes (replay). Such exploitation provides us the ability to analyze the effects of attacks designed to target common wireless networks, when they are perpetrated against IoT environments. Obtained results prove that IoT devices and networks (often embedded in sensitive environments such as hospitals or critical infrastructures) are vulnerable to several attacks.

“…In order to fulfil such requirements, reliable key‐management protocols must be implemented throughout the communication network in the advanced metering infrastructure . An example of key‐management platform specifically recommended for smart grids is Zigbee PRO (ZigBee Alliance 2400 Camino Ramon Suite 375 San Ramon, CA 94583 USA) .…”

A key aspect in the design of smart cities is, undoubtedly, a plan for the efficient management of utilities, enabled by technologies such as those entailing smart metering of the residential consumption of electricity, water or gas. While one cannot object to the appealing advantages of smart metering, the privacy risks posed by the submission of frequent, data-rich measurements cannot simply remain overlooked. The objective of this paper is to provide a general perspective on the contrasting issues of privacy and efficient utility management, by surveying the main requirements and tools, and by establishing exploitable connections.

ZigBee technology as a wireless sensor and control network is one of the most popularly deployed wireless technologies in recent years. This is because ZigBee is an open standard lightweight, low-cost, low-speed, low-power protocol that allows true operability between systems. It is built on existing IEEE 802.15.4 protocol and therefore combines the IEEE 802.15.4 features and newly added features to meet required functionalities thereby finding applications in wide variety of wireless personal area networked systems such as home/industrial automation and monitoring systems. Although the ZigBee design specification includes security features to protect data communication confidentiality and integrity, however, when simplicity and low-cost are the major goals, security suffers. This paper gives the general survey of the ZigBee as a wireless sensor network based technology which provides the readers with the general overview of ZigBee network technology including its topology, applications and challenges.
