Abstract
Wireless home routers is the only barrier between a user’s personal information and the internet.
Such a vital position in the user’s network requires that the routers operate securely.
Unfortunately, recent research indicate that these devices have various security issues which expose them to malware attacks. To address the growing concerns about the security of home routers, it is important to perform dynamic analysis on home routers, even without accessing the actual hardware. This paper looks at the importance of home router security, the need for dedicated analysis tools through emulation and the process involved in emulating and profiling an ARM architecture based home router.
We emulate an ARM router and test the behaviour of this router via an emulated client. This has been done by using QEMU, an emulation tool, to virtualize the router. Upon development of the emulated ARM router and client, we found the task more difficult than previously thought due to a bug with the pcnet network interface card in qemu. We also performed analysis on the system calls generated when traffic was passed through the MIPSLE architecture based router and arrived at the conclusion that our environment is capable of detecting vulnerabilities in the security when the router is exposed to malware.
Introduction
With the advancement of communication networks there comes a grave need to protect one’s privacy. Our reach to the external network, or the internet is connected through a

In the past latency issues have derived primarily to out of date hardware or device drivers as opposed to a security breach. It is always a wise choice to update these configurations while running the appropriate operating system updates which may all be contributing factors. During the prerequisite stage of the survey the required information is gathered to develop an effective network survey which would alleviate resource constraint.
Linton (2011, p.44) stated that hacking of network of common users and attacking their personal computers is one of the most threatening problems at present. It is happening in every second that results in a loss in several ways like loss of credentials, personal information etcetera. Although the use of personal computers and the internet has been increased rapidly, numbers of users who are the expert and have good knowledge to tackle the matters are very rare. In addition, time, as well as required equipment to protect hacking, is also very.
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are made up of tiny sensing devices; capable of sensing some changes of incident/parameters and communicating with other devices, over a specific area. Mainly used for tracking, surveillance and environmental monitoring. These devices make it possible to be used in a system such as Home Automation and Security. Our purpose is to make our Home secure from any attacks physically and to the sensor network. Securing our Home starts from the outside, setting up a perimeter around house sensing intrusion and alerting the home owner. Allowing only predetermined users to enter the home. From the inside you can monitor for fires, leak, humidity or smoke, which the system will promptly report this to the owner as well as alert the proper authorities. Making most of the home voice controlled only recognized by the owner’s voice can add another layer of security.

Simulation environment consists of wired, wireless and wired cum wireless network. Network simulator NS 2.35 [6] is used for the simulation. NS is a discrete event simulator, where the advance of times depends on the timing of events which are maintained by simulator.
The vulnerabilities of wireless networking may involve the attack of web browsers, on-line banking, DNS servers, and routers exchanging routing table updates, purchases, transactions or stolen personal data. The lack of security with a wireless system may result in denial of service, hijacking, fake impersonation, or eavesdropping for interception of messages through cyber-crimes. Each communicating user should select the language of cryptography, agree and share the symmetric key. The best security practices includes firewalls, intrusion detection systems, secured and updated applications, transport, configured properly working network, and link layers.
This is an implementation problem, i.e. programming mistake in popular OpenSSL library that provides cryptographic services such as SSL/TLS to the applications and services. (Codenomicon, 2014)

Brocade is fully invested in making SDN completely modular to deliver New IP networks based on an open ecosystem. The Brocade SDN Controller is continuously built from the OpenDaylight code, with a virtuous cycle of contributions back to the OpenDaylight community. Physical and virtual networks from multiple vendors can be managed within the Brocade SDN Controller, and organizations can gradually introduce ever-larger portions of their existing networks into the controller domain with single-source technical support for the entire

software has lot of importance in recent years. A number of tools are available for testing network and communication protocols. NetIQ’s ANVL(Automated Network Validation Library) is to test routers and other networking products. The software generates packets in correct and incorrect formats to test the networking software.
As this demand for dynamic and unpredictable data grows, more and more devices have to be added to existing networks and configured accordingly. The need of the hour is to regulate networks centrally and as a whole rather than configure individual network devices and gain more control to achieve flexibility in existing networks.

There are threats to network security that can compromise your computer systems. Viruses are one of the top security threats in the technology industry. A virus is a program or a code that is loaded into your computer system without your knowledge will run against your wishes (Beal, n.d). Viruses can also replicate themselves. All computer viruses are manmade and a virus can make a copy of itself several times and easy to create (Beal, n.d). Mark Vernon wrote that 72% of all companies have received infected e-mails or files last year and for larger companies the percentage was 83% (Vernon, 2004). The top viruses in malignancy are Worms and Trojan Horses (Vernon, 2004). Another threat to network security is malware. Malware (malicious software) is a annoying or harmful type of software that is intended to secretly access a device without a user’s knowledge. There are different types of malware, which include spyware, phishing, viruses, adware, Trojan horses, worms, ransomware, rootkits, and browser hijackers (“What is Malware and how to remove it | Cyber security,” n.d.). Malware gets access to your device through the internet, email, hacked websites, toolbars, music files, free subscriptions, toolbars and anything downloaded from the web (“What is Malware and how to remove it | Cyber security,” n.d.). Spam is also another threat to network security. Spam is a unsolicited message that advertises a service or product. Spammers target email accounts but can also be found on
