IoT based Mirai Vulnerability Scanner Prototype

Mirai can be considered as the Covid-19 of IoT network-enabled devices. The paper explains through the concepts, evolution and propagation methods of Mirai malware and proposes a vulnerability scanner which could help home users and network administers to scan through their network and find possible entry points for Mirai and the scanner provides suggestions to the user to protect the network from the malware. The scanner performs attacks similar to Mirai on the user network and aims to understand the breakpoints.
