Published our #Katana botnet analysis today. 30K+ bots on Android TV boxes compromised via unauthenticated ADB — no exploit needed, just a residential proxy subscription.

Some highlights:
- Compiles its own rootkit on $30 TV boxes
- The rootkit doesn't always work (rival botnets keep removing it)
- Blocks emacs on Android TV, just in case
- OOM score -1000: the kernel will kill Netflix before it kills the bot
- 80 XOR operations to arrive at a single byte
