busybotnet

Busybotnet is a (deviously named) fork of busybox that aims to make many of the security tools that are often only found on full systems available their resource lacking counterparts we call embedded devices. With the recent surge in popularity of such devices (aka, the explosion of the 'internet of things'), came many, many security issues. Part of the problem is that it's difficult to implement cryptography tools on systems with limited resources, and the rest is caused by incompetent OEM's that never issue updates or bother to patch any of the gaping security holes in their systems. This inevitably leads to the devices being repurpoused by hackers, visa vi botnets... The point of this project is to provide all of the security tools a system admin needs to administer embedded devices in one static binary, hence the term, "Busybotnet".
