—This work presents a closed-form expression for characterizing the spread of static worm-scanning strategies through a mean-field approximation. Our model can both accurately c...
There is a well-defined propagation model, named the random constant spread (RCS) model, which explains worms that spread their clones with a random scanning strategy. This model ...

Signature-based schemes for detecting Internet worms often fail on zero-day worms, and their ability to rapidly react to new threats is typically limited by the requirement of som...

Studies of worm outbreaks have found that the speed of worm propagation makes manual intervention ineffective. Consequently, many automated containment mechanisms have been propos...
