Abstract: IoT devices have significantly altered our daily lives, experiencing rapid growth in recent years. However, this proliferation has also brought about considerable security challenges, often exploited by malicious actors. In response, this study seeks to investigate the potential for mitigating Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on IoT devices through the application of innovative technologies like blockchain and fog computing. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, the research aims to assess the feasibility of simulating DDoS attacks in controlled laboratory environments and subsequently thwarting them using Hyperledger blockchain technology. It is assumed that foundational security measures such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and updated operating systems are already in place. Furthermore, this study aims to identify avenues for future research, particularly exploring the integration of decentralized private blockchain technology at the level of low-performance IoT devices, leveraging various available platforms for simulating such attacks.
