Advanced IoT Testbed

Our state of the art IoT Testbed is instrumental to a number of research projects, government regulation reports, TV documentaries, and independent investigations into the security and privacy of smart devices. The testbed consists of over 140 various consumer IoT devices, state of the art network and device performance monitoring (through BatteryLab), and various automation techniques. Through close collaboration with friends at Northeastern University, We also make our testbed configuration and publications' datasets available to researchers worldside. Please see below for specific articles, papers, and datasets. We also make various IoT device signatures and destination lists available through the IoTrim ProjectOur team has won one of the TOP 10 spots in the Telekom Challenge Development Stream. We are receiving a generous gift to develop IoTrim. Stay tuned for more news!
