Data collected for our paper at IEEE TDSC 2020
The IETF ratified a new standard for Manufacturer Usage Description (MUD), RFC 8520 (available at https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8520), aimed at reducing attack surfaces of IoT devices on the network.
The MUD standard has received attention from industry and academia due to its enforceable and relatively simple data structure to specify the expected behaviors of IoT devices. This standard specifies a data model, a JSON-formatted file, to describe a set of access control entries representing allowed communications of an IoT device on the network. RFC8520, also, defines in-band mechanisms (e.g., DHCP, LLDP) by which an IoT device can signal to the network supplying (a MUD URL to) the data model that indicates what access and protection the device needs.
We developed a tool, MUDgee (https://github.com/ayyoob/mudgee), that takes a packet-level traffic trace (a PCAP file) of an IoT device as input and automatically generates the MUD profile for it. We have generated the MUD profile for 28 consumer IoT devices we analyzed. In what follows, we make our data and tool publicly available.
