Motivation

MUD files are plain text files in JSON format that contain ACL rules for a device. A MUD file can contains tens or hundrends of ACL rules which makes it difficult to read and validate the files manually. mud-visualizer will help you to read and validate (and modify in near future) the MUD files.

Installation

Use the following commands to install and run mud-visualizer:

$ git clone https://github.com/iot-onboarding/mud-visualizer
$ cd mud-visualizer
$ npm install
$ npm start

Supported MUD Abstractions

Currently the following MUD abstractions are supported in both incoming and outgoing traffic directions:

• domain-names
• local-networks
• same-manufacturer
• manufacturer
• my-controller
• controller
