"C&C Panels of 10 IoT Botnets Compromised by Researchers"

Two security researchers from SecNiche Security Labs were able to access the command and control (C&C) panels of Internet of Things (IoT) botnets, including Mana, Vivid, 911-Net, Purge Net, Goon, Kawaii, 0xSec. The compromise of IoT botnets' C&C panels allowed them to delve deeper into the capabilities and operation of these threats. The researchers gathered information on commands supported by the IoT botnets, differences between different panels,  and administrator options such as those used to execute DDoS attacks. They also shared details on techniques that could be used to create additional attack scenarios and develop measures to defend against such scenarios. This article continues to discuss how researchers accessed C&C panels of 10 IoT botnets and the importance of compromising these panels.
