  The rapid growth of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the
21st century has resulted in the emergence of a novel technological paradigm;
known as the Internet of Things, or IoT. The IoT, which is at the heart of
today's smart infrastructure, aids in the creation of a ubiquitous network of
things by simplifying interconnection between smart digital devices and
enabling Machine to Machine (M2M) communication. As of now, there are numerous
examples of IoT use cases available, assisting every person in this world
towards making their lives easier and more convenient. With the latest
advancement of IoT in variety of cyber-attacks that targets these pervasive IoT
environments, which can even lead to jeopardizing the lives of peoples; that
are involving with it. In general, this IoT can be considered as every digital
object that is connected to the Internet for intercommunication. Hence in this
regard in order to analyse cyber threats that come through the Internet, here
we are doing an experimental evaluation to analyse the requests, received to
exploit the opened Secure Shell (SSH) connection service of an IoT device,
which in our case a Raspberry Pi devices, which connected to the Internet for
more than six consecutive days. By opening the SSH service on Raspberry Pi, it
acts as a Honeypot device where we can log and retrieve all login attempt
requests received to the SSH service opened. Inspired by evaluating the IoT
security attacks that target objects in the pervasive IoT environment, after
retrieving all the login requests that made through the open SSH connection we
then provide a comprehensive analysis along with our observations about the
origin of the requests and the focus areas of intruders; in this study.
