Inside the Slammer worm

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?.

Stochastic Modeling of Worm Propagation in Trusted Networks.

TL;DR: A method for stochastic modeling of worm or virus propagation in trusted networks using a closed (no inflow and outflow) donor control based compartmental model which is more realistic and also enables us to compute the transition probability from one state to other state.

Wormulator: Simulator for Rapidly Spreading Malware

TL;DR: This project concludes that rapidly spreading malware can be effectively simulated using the Wormulator, a modified version of the Spamulator enhanced with the User Datagram Protocol to simulate UDP worms.

NADTW: new approach for detecting TCP worm

TL;DR: The numerical results showed that the proposed approach is efficient and outperforms the well-known DSC approach in terms of detecting the presence of TCP network worm.

An FPGA-based scalable platform for high-speed malware collection in large IP networks

TL;DR: This work presents an architecture for a honeypot using dedicated hardware instead of a general-purpose processor that is fast enough to keep up with high-speed networks and more resilient against subversion attempts than existing software solutions.

Dependency relation based vulnerability analysis of 3G networks: Can it identify unforeseen cascading attacks?

TL;DR: A telecommunication specification based toolkit called the Advanced Cellular Network Vulnerability Assessment Toolkit—aCAT, aCAT illustrates the types of cascading attacks that may be derived from the specifications, and showcases its utility in uncovering these attacks.

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).

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.

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.
