摘要：Network formed by a group of internet-connected compromised devices is known as Botnet, which may include personal computers, servers, internet of things and mobile devices. The botnet has been one of the most common network security threat. Botnets have been used for stealing data, sending spam, and allows attackers to access the device for collecting personal information of the users and for conducting distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS attacks). Increasing popularity and recent advances in the Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile devices have made IoT devices and mobile devices an easy and alluring target for attackers. Various studies have proposed many sophisticated mechanisms for understanding and identifying botnets and how they creating security threats for IoT devices and Mobile devices. This survey work presents a comprehensive review that discusses about IoT and mobile botnets propagation, detection, and mitigation. In this work, we focus on various types of IoT and mobile botnets propagation, attack methodology, and how they exploited in DDoS attacks along with various technologies used to detect IoT and Mobile botnets. Also we introduce the structure and characteristics of basic botnets.
