Dynamic analysis of IoT firmware is an effective method to discover security flaws and vulnerabilities. However, limited by emulation methods concentrating on a single IoT device, it is challenging to find security issues hidden in communication channels. This paper presents EmuIoTNet, a tool capable of automatically building an emulated IoT network for dynamic analysis. First, EmuIoTNet prepares an emulated hardware environment to emulate a number of devices for firmware. Then, it employs network virtualization tools to setup two types of networks, IntraNet and InterNet, which connect emulated devices, companion applications, and cloud endpoints to support many communication protocols. Meanwhile, it reconfigures the IP address of emulated devices at will to support simultaneous operations of multiple users. The experimental results show that EmuIoTNet can automatically build various emulated networks and facilitate security analysis in communication channels.
