IoT Security: Malware Forensics
This course was developed by IEEE Educational Activities with the support from IEEE Internet of Things Technical Community. In this course, we focus on IoT Malware Forensics. The course is structured in two parts. In the first part, we will examine IoT Malware and IoT Malware forensics from a high-level perspective. In the second part, we’ll learn how to apply IoT Malware forensics to a real-world IoT malware while using Mirai as a case study. Mirai was the most well-known IoT Botnet that hijacked and weaponized millions of IoT devices for launching DDoS attacks.
What you will learn:
- Introduce IoT Malware
- Discuss IoT Malware forensics
- Examine a case study: Mirai (a real-world IoT Botnet)
This course is part of the following course program:
