Abstract

En 中文
As the Internet of Things (IoT) industry grows, the risk of network protocol security threats has also increased. One protocol that has come under scrutiny for its security vulnerabilities is MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport), which is widely used. To address this issue, an automated execution program called fuzz has been developed to verify the security of MQTT brokers. This program is provided with various random and unexpected input data and monitored for different responses, such as acknowledgments, crashes, failures, or memory leaks. To generate a significant number of realistic MQTT protocols, we have proposed a Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN)-based protocol fuzzer called SGANFuzz. Our experimental results show that SGANFuzz has successfully detected 6 vulnerabilities among 7 MQTT implementations, including 3 CVE bugs. Compared to the state-of-the-art fuzzing tools, SGANFuzz has proven to be the most efficient fuzzing tool in terms of vulnerability detection and has expanded the feedback coverage by receiving more unique network responses from MQTT brokers.
