Understanding the Mirai Botnet
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
It is argued that Mirai may represent a sea change in the evolutionary development of botnets--the simplicity through which devices were infected and its precipitous growth, and that novice malicious techniques can compromise enough low-end devices to threaten even some of the best-defended targets.
