Do Flow-Generation Tools Matter? Unsupervised Characterization of MQTT Traffic Across Public Datasets
Study reveals that choice of flow-generation tool materially affects MQTT traffic characterisation in IoT datasets, challenging reproducibility assumptions in current IoT security research.

arXiv:2610.29774v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) is widely used in IoT environments due to its lightweight publish-subscribe design and suitability for resource-constrained networks. While current MQTT security studies mainly focus on detecting attacks and optimizing classification performance, this work takes a different perspective by presenting a cross-dataset, tool-aware characterization of MQTT traffic at the flow level. This perspective is motivat
Editorial Analysis
IoT-heavy enterprises relying on MQTT traffic analysis for anomaly detection should be aware that tool selection can bias results, potentially missing real threats.
