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

The case for collaborative distributed wireless intrusion detection systems
TL;DR: The hotspot worm is introduced and it is shown, using infectious epidemic models, a worst-case attack that can easily compromise a million users without using the Internet and without being detected.
Journal Article
EA Based Dynamic Key Generation in RC4 Ciphering Applied to CMS
TL;DR: The main advantage of the proposed RC4-EA method is that the generation of this secret key is done dynamically and randomly; this adds more strength of the RC4 encryption algorithm against breaking this cryptosystems.

Stability Analysis of a SEIQRS Model with Graded Infection Rates for Internet Worms
TL;DR: The basic reproduction number is obtained for determining whether the worm dies out completely and the global stabilities of worm-free equilibrium and endemic equilibrium are proved, and determined by thebasic reproduction number.
Journal ArticleDOI
Better bug reporting with better privacy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors collect bug reports from customers to improve the quality of their software, and these reports should include the inputs that make the software fail, to enable vendors to reproduce the failures.
Online Promiscuity: Prophylactic Patching and the Spread of Computer Transmitted Infections.
Timothy Kelley,L. Jean Camp +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an extension of the simple SIS model was used to examine the efficacy of various aggregate patching and recovery behaviors, showing that small increases in patch rates and recovery speed are the most effective approaches to reduce system-wide vulnerabilities due to unprotected computers.

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.
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.
