TLDR
The Slammer worm spread so quickly that human response was ineffective, and why was it so effective and what new challenges do this new breed of worm pose?Abstract:
The Slammer worm spread so quickly that human response was ineffective. In January 2003, it packed a benign payload, but its disruptive capacity was surprising. Why was it so effective and what new challenges do this new breed of worm pose?.read more

Dissertation
A spatiotemporal event correlation approach to computer security
TL;DR: This thesis explores a new spatiotemporal event correlation approach to capture the abnormal patterns of a wide class of attacks, whose activities, when observed individually, may not seem suspicious or distinguishable from normal activity changes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive sampling algorithm for detection of superpoints
TL;DR: An adaptive sampling algorithm to detect thesuperpoints in real time is proposed, which uses a flow sample and hold module to reduce the detection of the non-superpoints and to improve the measurement accuracy of the superpoints.
Architectures for Rule Processing Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems
TL;DR: This research presents a meta-modelling system that automates the very labor-intensive and therefore time-heavy and expensive and expensive process of manually cataloging and cataloging violations of the law.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Semi-autonomous Link Layer Vulnerability Discovery and Mitigation Dissemination
TL;DR: A probabilistic discovery and mitigation algorithm traversing a network with only knowledge of the immediate network neighborhood as can be obtained from passive observation of the LLDP protocol to minimize bandwidth consumption in con- junction with persistent agents deployed by the traversal to capture transient or intermittently active nodes is proposed.
Contributions to Specification, Implementation, and Execution of Secure Software
TL;DR: This thesis contributes to three research areas in software security, namely security requirements and intrusion prevention via static analysis and runtime detection via Static analysis and Runtime detection.

Inferring internet denial-of-service activity
TL;DR: This article presents a new technique, called “backscatter analysis,” that provides a conservative estimate of worldwide denial-of-service activity, and believes it is the first to provide quantitative estimates of Internet-wide denial- of- service activity.

How to Own the Internet in Your Spare Time
TL;DR: This work develops and evaluates several new, highly virulent possible techniques: hit-list scanning, permutation scanning, self-coordinating scanning, and use of Internet-sized hit-lists (which creates a flash worm).
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Code-Red: a case study on the spread and victims of an internet worm
TL;DR: The experience of the Code-Red worm demonstrates that wide-spread vulnerabilities in Internet hosts can be exploited quickly and dramatically, and that techniques other than host patching are required to mitigate Internet worms.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Internet quarantine: requirements for containing self-propagating code
TL;DR: The design space of worm containment systems is described using three key parameters - reaction time, containment strategy and deployment scenario - and the lower bounds that any such system must exceed to be useful today are demonstrated.

Inferring Internet denial-of-service activity
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a new technique, called backscatter analysis, that provides a conservative estimate of worldwide denial-of-service activity, and quantitatively assess the number, duration and focus of attacks, and qualitatively characterize their behavior.
