    Abstract—Mirai is undoubtedly one of the most significant Internet of Things (IoT) botnet attacks in history. In terms of its detrimental effects, seamless spread, and low detection rate, it surpassed its predecessors. Its developers released the source code, which triggered the development of several variants that combined the old code with newer vulnerabilities found on popular IoT devices ...

    Mirai is a malware botnet that infects Internet of Things (IoT) devices using default or weak login credentials. Once infected, these devices are controlled by a command-and-control (CnC) server and can be used to launch DDoS attacks. This repo is a fork of the original leaked source code and includes components such as: The bot (runs on IoT devices) The CnC server The loader (infects devices ...

    Following the public release of its source code in 2016, numerous variants have proliferated, broadening its attack surface and complicating detection and mitigation efforts. Despite extensive research on Mirai , existing analyses remain fragmented and informal, lacking a structured representation of its attack patterns.

  • web:link.springer.com

    Releasing its source code provides a way for the attackers to create its variants and provides researchers with a path in the right direction to tackle upcoming variants of Mirai malware. Although the mechanism of attacks and implementation of Mirai seems easy, its implementation is challenging.
