Analysis: Analysis of smart homes seems a popular topic, with researchers focusing on personas using common smart home sets ups rather than a broad analysis of the field. Botnets appear to be the most popular attack on smart homes, even the availability of the Mirai botnet code, the exception being users currently in or having recently left abusive relationships. These cases tend to involve installing back doors to smart home systems to facilitate spying. Interestingly given the number of people who neglect to change their default login credentials, this has not been a vulnerable point I have seen in papers as often as I would have initially thought. Given the popularity of tools like Shodan, this did strike me as odd.
My thesis topic is too broad, so I'm taking a deeper look at papers to narrow my scope down to a more specific area.
