VERY IMPORTANT

Since the release of the Mirai source code in October of 2016, there have been hundreds of variants. While publishing my own research, I noticed that Palo Alto Networks was also examining similar samples, and published their findings. Earlier this month, not too long after Palo Alto Networks published their report, discovered a newer version of Echobot that uses 26 different exploits for its infection vectors. In some cases I needed to reach out to MITRE in order to have them assign new CVEs as a result.
