Kaiten

Kaiten is a classic IRC-based DDoS bot, also known in some contexts as Tsunami. In the provided content it is referenced as an established botnet malware family and as a competitor process name targeted for termination by other Linux/IoT malware. Specifically, a Bash-based Linux worm targeting Raspberry Pi devices over SSH is described as killing running processes named "kaiten" alongside miners, zmap, and Mirai-related binaries in order to monopolize infected devices. The content also explicitly labels Kaiten as a "Classic IRC bot (Kaiten/Tsunami DDoS tool)." No additional high-confidence details on Kaiten’s own infection vector, infrastructure, or indicators of compromise are provided in the source content.
