Post summary
A blog post announces a Remote DoS vulnerability (CVE-2024-45163) affecting Mirai C2, offering a research writeup and hinting at a constructed tool, but lacks detailed exploit or patch information.
We just launched Flowtriq on @ProductHunt 🎉 I found a kill switch in the Mirai botnet (CVE-2024-45163). That research taught me what DDoS attacks look like at the packet level. So I built Flowtriq: → Installs in 2 minutes (pip install ftagent) → Detects DDoS attacks in <1 second → Auto-deploys BGP FlowSpec, RTBH, and cloud scrubbing → Full PCAP forensics on every attack → $9.99/node/month. No bandwidth surcharges. Built for NOC teams, hosting providers, game server operators, and ISPs who are tired of sampled NetFlow telling them about an attack 3 minutes too late. 7-day free trial, no credit card. Plus there's an exclusive 50% off code on our Product Hunt page. https://www.producthunt.com/products/flowtriq https://flowtriq.com
Post summary
The post notes a discovery of a kill switch in Mirai botnet CVE-2024-45163 but provides no technical, exploit, or patch details, focusing instead on launching the Flowtriq product.
In 2024, I found a way to kill any Mirai botnet command server on the internet with a single packet. No authentication needed. CVE-2024-45163. I'd been inside live Mirai C2 infrastructure at that point. Running network ops, coordinating takedowns, watching botnets spin up in real time. When you spend that long staring at attack traffic, you start noticing things... (1/4)
Post summary
The author reports discovering a single‑packet method to terminate Mirai C2 servers, indicating a proof of concept, but offers no technical specifics or exploit code.
