“Mirai” botnet

“Mirai is a botnet that would not exist if more networks practiced basic hygiene, such as blocking insecure protocols by default.”• Spreads like a worm, using Telnet and >60 default username/password

combinations to scan the Internet for additional systems to infect. • The majority of these systems appear to be Digital Video Recorders

(DVRs), IP-enabled surveillance cameras, and consumer routers. • Capable of generating 10 types of attacks: two UDP floods, two types of

GRE floods, two types of ACK floods, one SYN flood, one DNS flood, a Valve Engine attack, and an HTTP flood attack that is configurable and can leverage any HTTP method.

• Allows for both static and randomized IP address spoofing of IP addresses in five of the 10 attack types.


Dyn Attack, 10/21/16• First attack begins ~7:00 am ET,

targeting East Coast servers• Mitigated ~2 hours later

• Second wave of attacks begins just before noon ET, global in nature

• Mitigated in about an hour

• Third attack attempted later in the day• Mitigated without customer impact
