Smart home network and devices
Published in Abbas Moallem, Human-Computer Interaction and Cybersecurity Handbook, 2018
The Internet bot [a software application that runs automated tasks (scripts) over the Internet.], Kelihos, and Asprox botnet, created on connected devices (even appliances such as refrigerators) can, for example, start a spam e-mail attack. TVs with built-in cameras and microphones pose another attractive category of targets, as do other previously innocuous household devices. The possibilities for IoT attacks are truly endless, but ultimately, such attacks are likely to be about money/profit.
Access control for web of building data: Challenges and directions

Some obvious requirements arise from this simple scenario: the model author needs to have the rights to add and modify content on the platform, and no authorized parties should not have those rights. To ensure the integrity of data, modification rights cannot be given awarded lightly; the model author can be expected to have the expertise and tools to produce coherent data and be able to take responsibility of it. In the worst case the data would be destroyed by a malicious Internet bot.

Many of the subclass disaster types seldom occur in the reality or are not often discussed in the scholar papers and news articles. Considering over 300 subclasses of all possible disaster types into the search work will bring complicated processing data, and more importantly not all of them are interesting for the consequent disaster chain research. Therefore, first and foremost, all of the disaster type subclasses are separately searched through Baidu Scholar and the number of search results for each keyword is tallied up. Web crawler is used to help to get the data. Web crawler can be regarded as an Internet bot that systematically browses the World Wide Web normally for the purpose of web indexing based on certain defined rules. It can be a program or script developed in different computer languages (Guo 2017), and Python programming language is adopted in our research. Some of the results are picked and listed in Table 2.
