What is Model-Based Framework for exploiting sensors of IoT devices using a Botnet: A case study with Android about?

Botnets have become a serious security threat not only to the Internet but also to the devices connected to it. Factors like the exponential growth of IoT, the COVID-19 pandemic that's sweeping the planet, and the ever-larger number of cyber-criminals who now have access to or have developed increasingly more sophisticated tools are incentivizing the growth of botnets in this domain. The recent outbreak of botnets like Dark Nexus (derived from Qbot and Mirai), Mukashi, LeetHozer, Hoaxcalls, etc. shows the alarming rate at which this threat is converging. The botnets have attributes that make them an excellent platform for malicious activities in IoT devices. These IoT devices are used by organizations that need to both innovate and safeguard the personal and confidential data of their customers, employees, and business partners. The IoT devices have built-in sensors or actuators which can be exploited to monitor or control the physical environment of the entities connected to them thereby violating the fundamental concept of privacy-by-design of these devices. In this paper, we design and describe a modular botnet framework for IoT. Our framework is communication channel independen
