    IranBot is a DDoS botnet that runs the standard malware maturation story in reverse. Over six weeks and three builds, from an armv7l binary on 2026-06-08 to a self-spreading x86_64 worm on 2026-07-20, it shed its command encryption, stripped its polish, and discarded most of its branding. The first build carried a bespoke command cipher, seven attack methods, and a proper systemd service. The ...
