A game-theoretic technique for securing IoT devices against Mirai botnet

Internet of Things is one of the most popular themes of recent years. The Internet of Things devices are used in industry, houses, medicine. Mirai botnet is the largest registered botnet that using the Internet of Things. At the peak of its activity, the botnet managed to organize an attack where about 100 thousand devices participated. As a result there were about 1.2 million infected devices, 170 thousand of which were active. The devices of the Internet of things should be revoked from the actions of botnets. This paper describes a new technique enabling to detect attempts to attack the Internet of Things devices. A game-theoretic mathematical model of attack on IoT devices is suggested for this purpose. This technique enables to fix the attempts to crack Internet of Things.
