Summary Nowadays, inter‐vehicle and intra‐vehicle communication triggers the development of safety and non‐safety applications in Vehicular Adhoc NETworks (VANET). These applications need to be evaluated before the actual implementation. The performance of these applications is generally evaluated through indispensable tools such as simulators, emulators, and testbeds. Although simulators, emulators, and testbeds are available as open‐source or proprietary for VANET applications, finding the correct tool for the experiment is intriguing and challenging from the researcher's perspective. In this paper, our focus is to provide a comprehensive survey on the existing simulators, emulators, and real time testbeds based on technical specifications, capabilities, etc. To the best of our knowledge, there is no such an exhaustive survey that exists in the literature. Further, we developed a real time low‐cost VANET testbed on our institute campus to implement the VANET related projects.

The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has led to many applications, including smart homes, smart cities and smart industrial control systems. Attacks like Distributed Denial of Service, event control hijacking, spoofing, event replay and zero day attacks are prevalent in smart environments. Conventional Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDSs) are tedious to deploy in the smart environment because of numerous communication architectures, manufacturer policies, technologies, standards and application-specific services. To overcome these challenges, we modeled the operational behavior of IoT network events using timed ACs and proposed a novel hybrid NIDS in this paper. A web server is integrated with IoT devices for remote access, and Constrained Application Protocol is employed in inter- and intra-smart device communication. Experiments are conducted in real time to validate our proposal and achieve 99.17% detection accuracy and 0.01% false positives.
