An Experiment with DDoS Attack on NodeMCU12e Devices for IoT with T50 Kali Linux

This paper presents the results of an experiment with the Kali Linux operating system and T50 tool to simulate Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on the NodeMCU12e controller device used in Internet of Things (IoT) projects. The motivation for the development of this study arose with the creation of different projects that deal with the subject involving the Internet of Things, as a necessity to evaluate the safety and capacity of these devices during an attack simulation, which affects security and exposes the fragility of architecture and construction model. The results showed the types of attacks that can be carried out, as well as the device's lack of ability to avoid these types of attacks, as well as the speed at which it is possible to stop the device services.
