It can also be called a cloud which connects multiple devices and gathers information from those devices. Objects/things can be smart devices or electronic bio-implants in humans or animals. Structure of internet mainly depend upon functionality rather than security and when we are talking about interconnection of these things, definitely security is also an issue because with the interconnection of smart systems private data is also at stake. There are many types of threats to IoT but in this paper we will only discuss Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on Network Layer and Application Layer, which are capable of targeting and penetrating a victim from multiple sources seizing the resources of the network, and making them unavailable to the network’s users. In order to prevent from such an attack we need a way to detect and mitigate it. Over the time many people proposed multiple ways to stop it but there is no legitimate way to get rid of a DDoS attack on Internet of Things because of limited power of small devices.
