Hajime Worm with Lifespan and Its Mitigation Evaluation Against Mirai Malware Based on Agent-Oriented Petri Net PN2
Shingo Yamaguchi, Pattara Leelaprute · 2019
This paper proposed to introduce lifespan to IoT worm called Hajime. Hajime worm is regarded as a method to mitigate IoT malware like Mirai malware, but it is said to be in a gray area because it keeps a remote control mechanism. A Hajime worm with a lifespan destructs itself when exhausting the lifespan. Using agent-oriented Petri net PN2, we analyzed the influence of the Hajime worm's lifespan in the mitigation against IoT malware. From the result, we can say that Hajime worm with lifespan becomes a safer mitigation method.
