## What it is
A mirror of the leaked Mirai botnet source code (bot, CnC server, loader) published for cybersecurity research, malware analysis, and indicator-of-compromise development. It is a reference corpus, not a tool to run.

## Use cases
- study mirai botnet source code
- develop ioc detection signatures
- malware analysis research
- learn how iot ddos botnets work
- build lab environment for botnet analysis
- teach iot security

## When to choose
- you are a security researcher analyzing malware
- you need IoCs or detection rules for Mirai
- you teach or study IoT botnet behavior in a lab

## When to avoid
- you want a defensive tool or product
- you intend to run it against real devices or networks (illegal)
- you need maintained, supported software

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, reverse-engineering, vulnerability-scanning
- domain: security, iot, penetration-testing
- platform: cli
- tags: malware-analysis, botnet, ddos, ioc-development, mirai, linux
