Mitigating IoT Botnet DDos Attacks through MUD and eBPF based Traffic Filtering. (arXiv:2305.02186v1 [cs.NI])

As the prevalence of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices becomes more and more
dominant, so too do the associated management and security challenges. One such
challenge is the exploitation of vulnerable devices for recruitment into
botnets, which can be used to carry out Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS)
attacks. The recent Manufacturer Usage Description (MUD) standard has been
proposed as a way to mitigate this problem, by allowing manufacturers to define
communication patterns that are permitted for their IoT devices, with
enforcement at the …
