摘要: Earlier this year (2013), a massive dataset advertised as containing the result of year-long exhaustive scan entire IPv4 address space was anonymously released into wild under rather provocative "Internet Census 2012" designation. While subject matter that in itself controversial, it made even more so by fact its covert instigator also claimed to have temporarily assembled 420 thousand nodes strong botnet from presumably unsecured embedded devices perform (aka "Carna" botnet). In paper, we relate our attempt confirm validity intriguing story based on forensic analysis network traffic captured telescope for corresponding period time (i.e. April 2012 December 2012), share some observations doing and further discuss potential repercussions creation disclosure such dataset.
