The concept of ‘Internet of Things’ is gaining fast momentum as multiple devices are being connected across home networks. However, ensuring the security of the home network remains a major concern as devices connected on the network are vulnerable to cyberattacks. Thus, the scope and aim of this research lie in outlining the potential security risks present in smart homes; and therein providing an affordable solution that can mitigate and reduce the threats posed by Internet intruders.
In order to support the security of the home network against vulnerabilities and threats, research on Raspberry Pi Emulator (Desktop Edition) was conducted. This assisted in understanding the features that can be applied to protect the home network infrastructure against intruders and attacks. The proposed methods and materials were evaluated within predefined user and system requirements, which included several security threats and vulnerabilities.
As a result, the following network security functions were successfully tested: Anti Virus – Files Scanning; Firewall; Malware Scanner; Intrusion Prevention System (IPS); Intrusion Detection System (IDS); and Ads Blocker. Although the study is bound by certain limitations, the research requirement of securing the network by behaving as an identity and alerting system, was nonetheless successful.
