The Log4j vulnerability that came to light at the end of the year can undoubtedly be considered a major event in the security community. Honeypot and botnet are our bread and butter, and we have been concerned about which botnets would be exploiting this since the vulnerability was made public. This morning we got the first answers, our Anglerfish and Apacket honeypots have caught 2 waves of attacks using the Log4j vulnerability to form botnets, and a quick sample analysis showed that they were used to form Muhstik and Mirai botnets respectively, both targeting Linux devices.
