Prevalence of IoT Protocols in Telescope and Honeypot Measurements

The authors describe a measurement study of attacks against or based on IoT protocols, using data obtained from a /15 network telescope and three honeypots with 15 IPv4 addresses. The study reports that telnet-based malware is still widely used, that infected devices are employed not only for DDoS attacks but also for crypto-currency mining, and that attackers look for IoT-specific services using MQTT, CoAP, UPnP, and HNAP, and target vulnerabilities of routers and cameras with HTTP.
