5、Mirai僵尸网络欲搞垮利比亚国家网络基础设施
标题:Mirai Botnet Takes Down Internet in Liberia
作者信息:November 04, 2016 By Ionut Arghire
//BEGIN
Mirai, the Internet of Things (IoT) botnet that has recently fueled multiple large distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, is now targeting the Liberian
infrastructure, taking down the Internet for the entire country, researchers warn.
Mirai攻击利比亚,导致其全国的网络1秒钟的暂时停止响应?
显然Mirai“未来”的作者正在测试其攻击能力:上月刚刚报道的诸如博客、DNS等等一直到现在的一个相对小的国家,看来其“远景”正在逐步达成。显然利比亚并不是其最终的目的地。

“If Mirai means “future,” then its arrival certainly leads us to ask what the future holds. I foresee lots of experimentation with evolving attacks using IoT
devices as new devices are infiltrated. I predict lots of knee-jerk reactions in the form of poorly conceived legislation as the government tries to run in front of the avalanche. I see a call toward sanity, building some basic security hygiene into devices and the testing of associated software,” Ivers says.
Just last week, a newly discovered attack vector against the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) protocol was disclosed, which could result in terabit-scale DDoS attacks.
正像其命名Mirai(日语的未来)寓意的那样,可能将来还会出现各种实验室性的攻击,作者这是在测试其效能以及改进可能出现的错误。照此进程预测,可能到今年的年底,就能达到攻击全美的网络,使其断网4小时的目标! 这不,上周已经发现过利用LDAP协议进行的攻击,其DDOS的流量已经达到T级别了。
点评:深挖洞,广积粮。备战备荒。 |
