Worms are a serious threat to Internet security. The past research on worm has been focused on mathematical modeling, numerical analysis, and simulation in addition to proposed defense strategies. We believe a fine-grained, packet-level emulation of worm propagation in enterprise networks is highly beneficial for the deep understanding of worm dynamics and a prerequisite for worm containment an...

Due to the proactive defend against the worm propagation and patch the susceptible hosts, benign worms are attracting wide attentions in the field of worm research. In this paper, we point out the errors of worm-anti-worm model (WAW) and present a revised model named Re-WAW based on the law of worm propagation and Two-Factor model. Based on the discussion of the worm propagation factors such as...
