A Stochastic Model for the Size of Worm Origin
Computer worms have infected millions of computers since 1980s. For an incident handler or a forensic investigator, it is important to know whether the worm attack to the network has been initiated from multiple different sources or just from one node. In this paper, we study the problem of predicting the number of infectious nodes at each step of worm propagation, when the spread of a homogene...
متن کاملSimulating and optimising worm propagation algorithms
This paper describes a series of simulations run to estimate various worm growth patterns and their corresponding propagation algorithms. It also tests and verifies the impact of various improvements, starting from a trivial simulation of worm propagation and the underlying network infrastructure to more refined models, it attempts to determine the theoretical maximum propagation speed of worms...
متن کاملCorrelation Model of Worm Propagation on Scale-Free Networks
The problem of network worms is worsening despite increasing efforts and expenditure on cyber-security. Worm propagation is a random process that creates a complex system of interacting agents (worm copies) over the propagation medium – a scale-free graph, representing real-world networks. Understanding the propagation of network worms on scale-free graphs is the fi rst step towards devising ef...
متن کاملStochastic Modeling of Worm Propagation in Trusted Networks
Abstract There are two types of models useful in the study of worm propagation for a given number of terminals in a trusted network i.e. deterministic and stochastic model. The deterministic models, also known as compartmental models are in the form of epidemic models. These epidemic models consist of different states called compartments so these models are also known as compartmental models. A...
متن کاملStability Analysis of P2P Worm Propagation Model with Dynamic Quarantine Defense
The propagation of P2P worm covers large area and causes great damage. A dynamic quarantine protocol is designed to quarantine the suspicious host in the P2P system. Then a mathematical model of PWPQ is proposed which considering the dynamic process of peer joining and leaving. The effect of dynamic quarantine on active P2P worm is analyzed. Through stability analysis for PWPQ model, a key argu...
متن کاملLocator/Identifier Separation: Comparison and Analysis on the Mitigation of Worm Propagation
As a basic prerequisite for worm detection based on computational intelligence in networks with locator/identifier separation, it is well worth considering the influence on worm propagation due to the incoming locator/identifier separation. In this paper, according to the characteristics of locator/identifier separation, we systematically analyze the mitigation of worm propagation in three aspe...
