The Internet of Things (IoT) market is rapidly growing and is expected todouble from 2020 to 2025. The increasing use of IoT devices, particularly insmart homes, raises crucial concerns about user privacy and security as thesedevices often handle sensitive and critical information. Inadequate securitydesigns and implementations by IoT vendors can lead to significantvulnerabilities.  To address these IoT device vulnerabilities, institutions, and organizationshave published IoT security best practices (BPs) to guide manufacturers inensuring the security of their products. However, there is currently nostandardized approach for evaluating the effectiveness of individual BPrecommendations. This leads to manufacturers investing effort in implementingless effective BPs while potentially neglecting measures with greater impact.  In this paper, we propose a methodology for evaluating the security impact ofIoT BPs and ranking them based on their effectiveness in protecting againstsecurity threats. Our approach involves translating identified BPs intoconcrete test cases that can be applied to real-world IoT devices to assesstheir effectiveness in mitigating vulnerabilities. We applied this methodologyto evaluate the security impact of nine commodity IoT products, discovering 18vulnerabilities. By empirically assessing the actual impact of BPs on devicesecurity, IoT designers and implementers can prioritize their securityinvestments more effectively, improving security outcomes and optimizinglimited security budgets.
