> Connection: close well if they would have keep-alive it would be probably even more disastrous. especially if the botnet would have some intelligence that it would try to detect the keep alive timeout and send requests exactly in this time frame. -- also a lot of these devices are probably built with linux. and here is something that is probably bad with linux, the lifespan of most linux iot devices are probably outspanning the official lifecycle of any distribution/kernel. this may lead to problems that the vendor will just abadonned it or doesn't care anymore, if he even provided a way to upgrade. on windows this is probably as bad as well since most vendors will probably not pay additional fee's after the next windows iot gets out of live. it's probably time to abadon most os's for these devices and create a new open source project for these kind of devices, hardended from scratch. this would at least help with the unmaintained part of the os parts, which would make the situation at least 1% better. well it won't fix the laziness of certain vendors.. but it would be a beginning.
