420 thousand devices have become part of a botnet Carna


The hacker has created a botnet to demonstrate card devices that use the IPv4


Unknown hacker has created a botnet to demonstrate map computers around the world that use the protocol IPv4. He found that the network has a lot of unprotected IPv4-devices. In order to get control of them was enough to enter the default credentials «root: root» or «admin: admin».

"I really had the chance to work across the Internet, to manage hundreds of thousands of devices with a single mouse click, scan and create a map of the Internet. Before me, this has never been done, "- said the hacker.

In order to implement his plan hackers create two executable files to 46KB and 60KB (depending on the processor architecture) for the C programming language, and download it to the device without the user's knowledge. An attacker could gain control of 420 thousand units, which created a botnet Carna.
