What we know
The work addresses mapping and classifying bots that form part of IoT botnets and how they propagate across the Internet, a task the authors describe as challenging. According to the deposited abstract, Fooresec aimed to address this issue by footprinting, reporting and remotely securing IoT devices that had previously been turned into bots, relying on honeypots able to 'sense' the Internet in order to map and classify IoT bots according to their behaviours.
