Abstract. Many worm detectors have been proposed and are being deployed, but the literature does not clearly indicate which one is the best. New worms such as IKEE.B (also known as...
We present a novel approach for extracting cluttered objects based on their morphological properties1 . Specifically, we address the problem of untangling C. elegans clusters in h...

To detect and investigate self-propagating worm attacks against networked servers, the following capabilities are desirable: (1) raising timely alerts to trigger a worm investigat...

We study the effectiveness of automatic patching and quantify the speed of patch or alert dissemination required for worm containment. We focus on random scanning as this is repres...
In recent years, the threats and damages caused by active worms have become more and more serious. In order to reduce the loss caused by fastspreading active worms, an effective de...
The Internet is crucial to business, government, education and many other facets of society and its continuing scalability places serious challenges on the routing system's c...
— Detecting unknown worms is a challenging task. Extant solutions, such as anti-virus tools, rely mainly on prior explicit knowledge of specific worm signatures. As a result, aft...

We present a general framework for reasoning about network worms and analyzing the potency of worms within a specific network. First, we present a discussion of the life cycle of ...
A major challenge when attempting to analyze and model large-scale Internet phenomena such as the dynamics of global worm propagation is finding ate abstractions that allow us to ...

Flash worms follow a precomputed spread tree using prior knowledge of all systems vulnerable to the worm's exploit. In previous work we suggested that a flash worm could satu...
