Especially Carna botnet Aftermath washed on. Unknown hacker polluted in the world estimated at millions of Internet connected devices, of which approximately 1.2 million are in Australian Cert authority, identifiable.

Of these, 1.2 million units in the 420 000 was used as the “Internet Census 2012″ survey-making. The hacker, therefore, mapped out the entire internet as a botnet spread during the last year.

Most of the contaminated equipment was located in China. The next highest number, but to a much lesser number of infections was, inter alia, Turkey, India, South Korea, Russia and the United States.

According to the report infections in Finland was 425 pieces

Malware infected devices are allowed to contact the telnet protocol from the public network and the default login credentials, such as admin / admin or root / password.

According to CERT-FI contaminated equipment among other things, is a broadband terminal devices connected to the Internet and digital television receivers.

The hacker’s trick was exceptional and strictly illegal in many countries. On the other hand Carna botnet is not guilty of, inter alia, traditionally understood spam or malware distribution. Or websites shutdown, as criminals often tend to do.

The hacker tried his own words, to minimize the damage

An anonymous researcher with a lot of time on his hands apparently shares the sentiment. In a newly published research paper, this unnamed data junkie explains how he used some stupid simple hacking techniques to build a 420,000-node botnet that helped him draw the most detailed map of the Internet known to man. Not only does it show where people are logging in, it also shows changes in traffic patterns over time with an impressive amount of precision. This is all possible, of course, because the researcher hacked into nearly half a million computers so that he could ping each one, charting the resulting paths in order to make such a complex and detailed map. Along those lines, the project has as much to do with hacking as it does with mapping.

The resultant map isn’t perfect, but it is beautiful. Based on the parameter’s of the researcher’s study, the map is already on its way to becoming obsolete, since it shows only devices with IPv4 addresses. (The latest standard is IPv6, but IPv4 is still pretty common.) The map is further limited to Linux-based computers with a certain amount of processing power. And finally, because of the parameters of the hack, it shows some amount of bias towards naive users who don’t put passwords on their computers.

The research also serves as another much-needed warning about Internet security. “A lot of devices and services we have seen during our research should never be connected to the public Internet at all. As a rule of thumb, if you believe that ‘nobody would connect that to the Internet, really nobody’, there are at least 1000 people who did,” says the report. “Whenever you think ‘that shouldn’t be on the Internet but will probably be found a few times’ it’s there a few hundred thousand times. Like half a million printers, or a Million Webcams, or devices that have root as a root password.”
