Detecting the infected device These devices-turned-botnet will still function correctly for the unsuspecting owner, apart from the occasional sluggish bandwidth, and their botnet behavior may go ...

DDoS vs. "PDoS" 1. DDoS (for reference) A conventional distributed denial of service attack (DDos) is a class of denial of service (DoS) attacks in which a distributed system (botnet) consisting of ...

DDoSes are ephemeral. Once the attack vector is removed or the DDoS stops the device works. (Or in the case of Mirai, the rest of the internet works.) PDoSes update the device so it cannot work, ever ...

If you have any vulnerable devices on your network, you should assume they are compromised. By definition, the login credentials are public, and I believe you need to assume the firmware has been ...

Instead of searching for an autonomous solution. You can try to automate Incapsula's tool. Unfortunately it is a service available through a webpage button, so you must open that page and click on the ...

Mirai's source code has been released in public, and Jerry Gamblin has kindly created a GitHub repository so that you can easily look through the code for research/academic purposes such as this. I ...

Elaborating a bit on what Dave wrote, the main differentiating factor is that in case of DDoS bot nets the IoT devices are used as attackers, usually not even impeding the devices function in any ...

I have heard of a virus Called ShaShimi that did exactly this, but that was 20 years ago. I do not know if that is still around, or if the virus you are describing is this one.

Mirai attacks embedded linux. You would first need to get command line access to your IoT device. After that you can check the checksums of the read-only filesystem, and compare them to clean firmware ...
