DroidScour Android Application for IoT Data Collection

This document is a technical report that presents DroidScour, an Android application developed to collect and label data from Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The application addresses the challenges of identifying IoT devices and collecting their network traffic, which is essential for implementing security measures. DroidScour operates by transforming a smartphone into a Wi-Fi hotspot, allowing it to capture traffic from connected IoT devices. The captured data is then uploaded to Firebase for storage and further research. The report details the architecture of the application, including its use of root access and Termux commands for network scanning and packet capture. It outlines the user interface, which facilitates device identification, annotation, and real-time monitoring of data collection. Additionally, the document describes the methodology for systematic data capture, emphasizing the importance of manual labeling for generating high-quality datasets. The application aims to support the IoT research community by providing a robust tool for data collection.
