LSTM based IoT Device Identification

Overview

In this repository you will find a Python implementation of the methods in the paper LSTM based IoT Device Identification.

Summary

While the use of the Internet of Things is becoming more and more popular, many security vulnerabilities are emerging with the large number of devices being introduced to the market. In this environment, IoT device identification methods provide a preventive security measure as an important factor in identifying these devices and detecting the vulnerabilities they suffer from. In this study, we present a method that identifies devices in the Aalto dataset/IoT devices captures using the Long short-term memory (LSTM).

Requirements and Infrastructure:

Wireshark and Python 3.10 were used to create the application files. Before running the files, it must be ensured that Wireshark, Python 3.10+ and the following libraries are installed.
