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?.

Identifying Propagation Sources in Networks: State-of-the-Art and Comparative Studies

TL;DR: The state-of-the-art in source identification techniques is reviewed and the pros and cons of current methods in this field are discussed and a series of experiments and comparisons based on various environment settings are provided.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Operational experiences with high-volume network intrusion detection

TL;DR: This paper identifies and explores key factors with respect to resource management and efficient packet processing and highlight their impact using a set of real-world traces to gauge the trade-offs of tuning a NIDS.

Network Telescopes: Technical Report

TL;DR: The relationship between the size of the network telescope and its ability to detect network events is studied, its precision in determining event duration and rate is characterized, and practical considerations in the deployment of network telescopes are discussed.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Loop-extended symbolic execution on binary programs

TL;DR: Loop-extended symbolic execution as discussed by the authors introduces symbolic variables for the number of times each loop executes, and links these with features of a known input grammar such as variable-length or repeating fields.

RRE: A game-theoretic intrusion Response and Recovery Engine

TL;DR: The response and recovery engine (RRE) employs a game-theoretic response strategy against adversaries modeled as opponents in a two-player Stackelberg stochastic game to protect large networks for which attack-response trees have more than 500 nodes.

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.
