| Summary: | The advancement in the Internet of Things for electronic devices and applications has attracted people, especially younger generations, to move into the interconnected world. A smart home is an example of an application that is highly in demand. Together with the rise is cybersecurity issues. By being connected, many users are exposed to security threats without their knowledge. This paper presents a security analysis on the smart home environment using Packet Tracer Simulation Software. A testbed of a basic smart home set consisting of electronic appliances, gadgets, and surveillance system is set up in the Cisco Packet Tracer software version 7.1. Possible vulnerabilities issues were simulated at the network and application layers. The vulnerabilities and possible attacks on the smart home network environment were successfully identified. Mitigation techniques on the attack were proposed to reduce the probability of the network attacks. © 2021 IEEE.
