A thermostat device returns JSON like data from the command line: curl -s http://192.168.X.Y/tstat/humidity {"humidity":51.00} A cron job wass configured to execute a .sh UNIX script to save data to a USB memory stick. The next step in the pedagogical exercise is to upload data to a...

This is my first network I've created from the ground up. Cat6 wired in each room with a tech closet. The gateway is a fiber 1 Gbt service. The Netgear switches are L2+, L3. The Qnap NAS has the ability to segment the cameras and Iot devices. A handful of IoT devices require an internet...

Is it possible to control LAN access via iptables? I have a bunch of IOT devices that I want to access the internet and (and this is the kicker) accept incoming connections from specific hosts inside my LAN, but not create their own connections to hosts in my LAN. It looks like iptables rules...

Bullguard’s Dojo Intelligent IoT Vulnerability Scanner (DIS) is an app (Android and iOS) that runs security risk assessments and scores home environments that have smart home products like cameras, lights, smart locks, as well as computers and similar items. In order for DIS to give the final...

One of my IoT devices has local access only (its App only connects to the device if they are in the same local network). I was hoping to access it (to read some sensor values) remotely by running a VPN server on my router, but OpenVPN seems to provide a different subnet and the App will still...

I plan on adding a few wifi IoT devices in my house (Sonoff switches) that I'd like to separate from my main LAN and have a different address space and firewall rules for devices in that LAN. I still want DHCP in the LAN (though I can live without it). I'm using RMerlin's build on a RT56U. I...

Cujo’s artificial intelligence platform is designed to help ISPs protect customer’s smart home environments by using threat intelligence, machine learning and cloud computing to analyze an automated home’s network behavior. Algorithms report back to the app and help identify what’s on the...

Taipei, Taiwan, November 14, 2017 – QNAP® Systems (QNAP®) today launched the all-new QBoat Sunny, a small and powerful single-board Internet of Things (IoT) mini server for IoT developers. QBoat Sunny can connect to versatile IoT development boards, devices and applications, and be used as a...

Hardware: RT-AC88U Firmware: 382.1_beta3 After expending a whole lot of effort, I thought I might be able to block wired IoT smart devices at the port level from being able to access the local network. After reading 24 threads on this website, I cobbled together a script that was similar to...

Quick background - not a newb but definitely no packet networking pro. I have advanced knowledge in TDM circuit switching which is dying a quick death and I adapt quickly to new tech when I'm thrown in the fire so to speak. I've been teaching myself packet switching/routing as I can, and have a...

Designed for massive IoT deployments, the newly announced Zigbee Pro 2017 wireless spec will simultaneously support interoperable devices running on the 800-900 MHz range and the 2.4 GHz. The Zigbee Alliance’s latest offering will provide “longer range, reduced power consumption and lower...

The new Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Home Design certification helps home builders use enterprise practices to design homes that meet current and future wireless standards. Using certified hardware, the certification’s standards help dictate proper placement of devices, like access points, in new homes. The...

The Dojo security device includes a network-connected base and wireless battery-powered "pebble". It uses Bullguard’s cloud-based AI engine to learn about devices in a home’s network. Using artificial intelligence and machine learning, Dojo keeps track of services and device patterns connected...
