Abstract
Multiple news stories, articles, incidents, and attacks have consistently brought to light that IoT devices have a major lack of security. Developing a solution to protect and secure these devices is difficult because of the multitude of devices available on the market, each with their own requirements. This paper will focus on a particularly widespread piece of IoT malware known as the Mirai botnet by examining what its capabilities are, how it spreads to new devices, the impact that it has already had, and propose mitigation solutions to help prevent future attacks.
