I think the headline there, "Mirai Botnet Client, Echo Loader and CNC source code", is more descriptive and suitable than the current title. "Mirai" is a rather generic name; for a moment I was wondering if it was related to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Mirai ...but it did make me click to find out.

What is the origin of the name? I assumed (guessed) it was the last name of the "father of the internet" on Japan.

Thanks. Question for the C folks. The author seems to have reimplemented functions such as strlen, memcpy, and atoi in 'bot/util.h' instead of using the stdlib. Anyone know why? https://github.com/0x27/linux.mirai/blob/master/mirai/bot/ut...
