Mirai malware targets loT devices. After infiltration, it uses them to propagate and create botnets that then used to launch which types of attack?

A MITM (Man-in-the-Middle) attack involves intercepting communication between two parties, which is not the primary function of Mirai botnets.

A Birthday attack is a cryptographic attack exploiting the mathematics behind the birthday problem to find collisions in hash functions, which is unrelated to botnet functionality.

Mirai malware is infamous for compromising vulnerable IoT devices, such as routers and IP cameras, turning them into a botnet. These botnets are then orchestrated to launch massive Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks against targeted websites or services, overwhelming them with traffic and rendering them unavailable.

Password attacks involve guessing or cracking passwords to gain unauthorized access, which is the initial infection vector for Mirai, not the attack launched by the resulting botnet.
