HIoT: heterogeneous information network based compromised IoT device detection

Abstract Internet of things (IoT) devices are widely exploited by botnets and other cyberattacks to carry out various malicious activities. Traditional detection methods focus on specific device types or attack patterns and have limited coverage. In this paper, we propose a novel detection model for compromised IoT devices based on heterogeneous information networks (HINs), which can detect compromised IoT devices across different device types and attack scenarios. The model takes full advantage
