Operators should be much more proactive in shutting such bots down and blacklisting concerned ISPs. Attackers are simulating humans! The network operator can however detect sustained attempts by a bot across multiple sites. Unless we correlate activity across large slices of time it becomes difficult to detect this behaviour. Attackers launch a few probes and if they fail, go away and attack some other device and come back to this device a bit later. In the cat and mouse game being played out in cyberspace, the classical intrusion detection mechanisms are being bypassed. In IoT, we are dealing not just with information and money but life and death and the operators need to up their game quickly and by quantum jumps.

This 1975 vintage system is full of vulnerabilities.

SS7 вЂ“ the central-nervous system of the worldwide mobile network вЂ“ connects our phones and allows us to move around while using them. Network operators may end up being the spider at the centre of the web and play a central role in securing the IoT.Д¬ellular operators have traditionally not been very forthcoming on security and have long grappled with vulnerabilities in Signalling System 7 (SS7), which allows all operators to talk to each other. There are important public policy and regulatory aspects in the repeated vulnerability of the Internet but here we provide some advice on minimal steps we need to take to reduce basic vulnerability.

The source code of the Mirai malware has been open sourced fueling an arms race between attackers and defenders. However, there is no question that too will come. The IoT devices typically are more constrained with microcontrollers instead of CPU and real time micro OS like tinyOS, Contiki, mbed etc. These devices are typically headless (no screen) but are full-fledged (linux) computers. More than 10 million devices were alleged to be hacked and almost all (96%) of them were IoT devices, according to Level 3 Threat Research Labs. One of the principal targets was Dyn the DNS provider to Twitter, Reddit, GitHub, Paypal, Spotify, Heroku, SoundCloud, Crunchbase, Netflix, Amazon, and others. The widely reported attacks involved inserting malware into devices to turn them into a network of controllable bots that was directed to attack websites. Friday 21 st Oct 2016 has been billed as the first large scale cybersecurity incident from the IoT world.
