    Mirai is a self-propagating malware that scans the internet for vulnerable IoT devices and infects them to create a botnet. Mirai variants utilize lists of common default credentials to gain access to devices. Mirai's primary use is for launching distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, but it has also been used for cryptocurrency mining.

    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 ...
