--------------------- Internet Census 2012 ---------------------

-------- Port scanning /0 using insecure embedded devices --------

------------------------- Carna Botnet -------------------------

While playing around with the Nmap Scripting Engine we discovered an amazing

number of open embedded devices on the Internet. Many of them are based on

Linux and allow login to standard BusyBox with empty or default credentials.

From March to December 2012 we used ~420 Thousand insecure embedded devices

as a distributed port scanner to scan all IPv4 addresses.

These scans include service probes for the most common ports, ICMP ping,

reverse DNS and SYN scans. We analyzed some of the data to get an estimation

of the IP address usage.

All data gathered during our research is released into the public domain for

further study. The full 9 TB dataset has been compressed to 565GB using ZPAQ

and is available via BitTorrent. The dataset contains:

- 52 billion ICMP ping probes

- 10.5 billion reverse DNS records

- 180 billion service probe records

- 2.8 billion sync scan records for 660 million IPs with 71 billion ports tested

- 80 million TCP/IP fingerprints

- 75 million IP ID sequence records

- 68 million traceroute records

This project is, to our knowledge, the largest and most comprehensive

IPv4 census ever. With a growing number of IPv6 hosts on the Internet, 2012

may have been the last time a census like this was possible. A full documention,

including statistics and images, can be found on the project page.

We hope other researchers will find the data we have collected useful and that

this publication will help raise some awareness that, while everybody is talking

about high class exploits and cyberwar, four simple stupid default telnet

passwords can give you access to hundreds of thousands of consumer as well as

tens of thousands of industrial devices all over the world.

No devices were harmed during this experiment and our botnet has now ceased its

activity.
