Through analysis of sessions in which files were created and downloaded on three Cowrie SSH/Telnet honeypots, we find that IoT botnets are by far the most common source of malware on connected systems with weak credentials. We detail our honeypot configuration and describe a simple method for listing near-identical malicious login sessions using edit distance. A large number of IoT botnets attack our honeypots, but the malicious sessions which download botnet software to the honeypot are almost all nearly identical to one of two common attack patterns. It is apparent that the Mirai worm is still the dominant botnet software, but has been expanded and modified by other hackers. We also find that the same loader devices deploy several different botnet malware strains to the honeypot over the course of a 40 day period, suggesting multiple botnet deployments from the same source. We conclude that Mirai continues to be adapted but can be effectively tracked using medium interaction honeypots such as Cowrie.
Image encryption takes been used by armies and governments to help top-secret communication. Nowadays, this one is frequently used for guarding info among various civilian systems. To perform secure image encryption by means of various chaotic maps, in such system a legal party may perhaps decrypt the image with the support of encryption key. This reversible chaotic encryption technique makes use of Arnold's cat map, in which pixel shuffling offers mystifying the image pixels based on the number of iterations decided by the authorized image owner. This is followed by other chaotic encryption techniques such as Logistic map and Tent map, which ensures secure image encryption. The simulation result shows the planned system achieves better NPCR, UACI, MSE and PSNR respectively.
