HomeTPS: Uncovering what is happening in home networks
Kuai Xu, Feng Wang, Michael Lee · 2012
The rapid growth of broadband connections and home networks has created new application opportunities such as video streaming and remote health care. However, managing and securing the increasingly complicated home networks has remained a serious challenge for most home users who have little technical expertise to manage their home networks and connected devices. Towards this end, we will demonstrate HomeTPS, a traffic profiling system for home networks that collects, analyzes and makes sense of home network traffic. The demonstration will show automatic traffic collection from programmable home routers, informative traffic summary reports and behavior profiles for Internet-capable home devices, and real-time discovery of anomalous traffic from Internet attackers or from compromised devices in home networks.
