The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology that attracted considerable attention in the last decade to become one of the most researched topics in computer science studies. This research aims to develop a benchmark framework for a public multi-task IoT traffic analyzer tool that holistically extracts network traffic features from an IoT device in a smart home environment that researchers in various IoT industries can implement to collect information about IoT network behavior. A custom testbed with four IoT devices is created to collect real-time network traffic data based on seventeen comprehensive scenarios of these devices’ possible interactions. The output data is fed into the IoT traffic analyzer tool for both flow and packet levels analysis to extract all possible features. Such features are ultimately classified into five categories: IoT device type, IoT device behavior, Human interaction type, IoT behavior within the network, and Abnormal behavior. The tool is then evaluated by 20 users considering three variables: usefulness, accuracy of information being extracted, performance and usability. Users in three groups were highly satisfied with the interface and ease of use of the tool, with scores ranging from 90.5% to 93.8% and with an average score between 4.52 and 4.69 with a low standard deviation range, indicating that most of the data revolve around the mean
