On 21 October 2016, half the internet stopped working. Netflix, Twitter, Reddit, GitHub, PayPal, all gone for hours. The weapon wasn't a state cyberweapon. It was hundreds of thousands of webcams, DVRs and home routers, logged into with the passwords printed on the box.
This episode tells the full Mirai story: the three college students who built it to knock rival Minecraft servers offline, the four-step attack chain, the three attacks that shook the internet, the source-code release that let it escape, and why a descendant hit 31.4 terabits per second in 2026 using the exact same trick. Plus the five lessons the industry still hasn't fully learned.
