I am about to set up an MQTT network at home. I want to build up some knowledge by practical exercises. It would be a small network with the broker hosted on my laptop (Windows 7) and some Raspberry Pi powered client. Also I am thinking about making a client on my phone (Android).

My goal is to have a simple network on which I can experiment and I want to perform some security testing, experimenting first.

I have found an MQTT Server Test Suite which is designed to act as a malicious MQTT client. It is pretty promising to start with.

Test tool general features

• Fully automated black-box negative testing
• Ready-made test cases
• Written in Java(tm)
• GUI, command line, remote interface modes
• Instrumentation (health-check) capability
• Support and maintenance
• Comprehensive user documentation
• Results reporting and analysis

But also I am interested in some more simple practices I can use to verify MQTT security features. What are the simplest ways for a beginner to perform some basic security verifications on an MQTT network?
