threat-intel

KadNap, a takedown-resistant botnet infecting ~14,000 routers (primarily Asus models), uses a Kademlia-based peer-to-peer architecture with distributed hash tables for command-and-control evasion. The compromised devices are conscripted into the Doppelganger proxy service to anonymously tunnel cybercriminal traffic.
