"Saving the IoT From Botnets"

Researchers at the Department of Information Engineering at the University of L'Aquila, Italy, have shared their research on IoT (Internet of Things) insecurity with a focus on the execution of botnet attacks on these devices. A botnet is a network of computers or other devices compromised by malicious actors to control and execute attacks, such as distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. The research team looked at how botnet DDoS attacks can be detected and stopped, using deep learning techniques. This article continues to discuss botnets, DDoS attacks, the recruitment of IoT devices by botnets, and the researchers' deep learning method aimed at detecting botnet attacks.
