In a lengthy piece on his blog, KrebsOnSecurity, Krebs unpacks how he discovered the author of the code, as well as at least one co-conspirator, in what was linked to a string of high profile distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks.<br\/><br\/>Krebs&#8217;s research\u00a0\u2014\u00a0which he said took hundreds of hours and was slightly personal as his own website was felled by the malicious code in 2016\u00a0\u2014\u00a0took him back to 2014, when a group of &#8220;internet hooligans operating under the banner of &#8216;lelddos'&#8221; used the code to take servers hosting the popular game Minecraft offline.<br\/><br\/>Following the September 2016 Mirai attack on Krebs&#8217;s website, many sources specializing in lurking on cybercrime forums indicated the principal author of code linked in previous attacks was a 19-year-old named Josiah White who worked for a company called ProTraf.<br\/><br\/>Krebs&#8217;s wrote that ProTraf only had one other employee: Its 20-year-old president named Paras Jha, whose LinkedIn page showed he had extensive experiences running Minecraft services.<br\/><br\/>&#8220;After first reading Jha&#8217;s LinkedIn resume, I was haunted by the nagging feeling that I&#8217;d seen this rather unique combination of computer language skills somewhere else online,&#8221; Krebs wrote. &#8220;Then it dawned on me: The mix of programming skills that Jha listed in his LinkedIn profile is remarkably similar to the skills listed on Hackforums by none other than Mirai&#8217;s author \u2014 Anna-Senpai.&#8221;<br\/><br\/>Posts on online forums showed Jha and Ann-Senpai had the exact same programming skills.<br\/><br\/>Krebs was also pointed to an acquaintance who noticed code in Mirai looked similar to code on a GitHub account under the handle &#8220;Dreadiscool,&#8221; which Krebs discovered was associated with Jha.<br\/><br\/>Following several months of research, Krebs said he heard from a former co-worker of Jha at ProTraf. The co-worker told Krebs Jha had admitted he was responsible for Mirai attacks and White developed code used to infect new devices with Mirai written in C, a language that White evidently excelled
