The progression of the Internet of Things (IoT) has brought about a complete transformation in the way we interact with the physical world. However, this transformation has brought with it a slew of challenges. The advent of intelligent machines that can not only gather data for analysis and decision-making, but also learn and make independent decisions has been a breakthrough. However, the low-cost requirement of IoT devices requires the use of limited resources in processing and storage, which typically leads to a lack of security measures. Consequently, most IoT devices are susceptible to security breaches, turning them into "Bots" that are used in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. In this paper, we propose a new strategy labeled "Temporary Dynamic IP" (TDIP), which offers effective protection against DDoS attacks. The TDIP solution rotates Internet Protocol (IP) addresses frequently, creating a significant deterrent to potential attackers. By maintaining an "IP lease-time" that is short enough to prevent unauthorized access, TDIP enhances overall system security. Our testing, conducted via OMNET++, demonstrated that TDIP was highly effective in preventing DDoS attacks and, at the same time, improving network efficiency and IoT network protection.
物联网（IoT）的发展给我们与物理世界的交互方式带来了彻底变革。然而，这种变革也带来了一系列挑战。能够不仅收集数据用于分析和决策，还能学习并做出独立决策的智能机器的出现是一项突破。然而，物联网设备的低成本要求意味着在处理和存储方面要使用有限资源，这通常导致缺乏安全措施。因此，大多数物联网设备容易受到安全漏洞攻击，从而变成用于分布式拒绝服务（DDoS）攻击的“僵尸程序”。在本文中，我们提出了一种名为“临时动态IP”（TDIP）的新策略，它能有效防范DDoS攻击。TDIP解决方案频繁轮换互联网协议（IP）地址，对潜在攻击者形成重大威慑。通过维持足够短的“IP租用时间”以防止未经授权的访问，TDIP增强了整体系统安全性。我们通过OMNET++进行的测试表明，TDIP在防范DDoS攻击方面非常有效，同时还提高了网络效率和物联网网络保护能力。
