Explore an in-depth analysis of IP address blacklists and their effectiveness in protecting IoT devices during this conference talk from the Hack In The Box Security Conference. Delve into the limitations of current blacklist approaches, particularly for resource-constrained IoT devices and home routers. Learn about a proposed algorithm, the Attacker IP Prioritizer (AIP), designed to optimize blacklists for IoT protection. Discover a standardized methodology for evaluating blacklist efficacy. Gain insights into the challenges of maintaining effective blacklists in cloud environments and the short-lived nature of IoT malware attacks. Follow the speaker's journey as a bachelor student researcher at StratosphereIPS Lab, working on algorithmically optimizing blacklists and studying IoT traffic through honeypot implementations.
