Talk Title

The Mirai BotNet and where DDoS attacks are headed

Abstract

The Mirai BotNet was used to take down large parts of the Internet during October 2016. This marked a new era for MDoS (Massive Denial of Service) attacks, based on the exponential growth in IoT devices and Mobile devices, as well as the security issues involved with these devices.

In this talk we will explore the Mirai attacks through its source code, the attacks seen in the wild, and how those attacks looks like in a NOC/SOC of an organization being attacked. We will demonstrate the attacks themselves, and see what needs to be done in order to prevent this from being a catastrophe by 2020.
