Even if there’s a firewall enabled, it won’t block outgoing TCP connections. Such hackers don’t bother with social engineering or complex scenarios that only give a low success rate. It can even attack the chip’s firmware and provide root access on the device, which gives more privileges and capabilities than the user.

New BotenaGo samples were found with very low AV detection (3/60 engines). The Mirai botnet targets mostly routers and IoT devices, and it supports different architectures including Linux x64, different ARM versions, MIPS, PowerPC, and more.

The tools also depend upon physical controls that should also be implemented against malicious physical access to destroy or compromise networking equipment such as routers, cables, switches, firewalls, and other networking appliances. These physical controls do not rely upon IT technology and will be assumed to be in place.
