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

Malware spreading models in peer-to-peer networks
TL;DR: This article is dealing with security problems of peer-to- peer networks, with malware propagation model, establishing empirical model of file propagation in peer- to-peer networks and the system for automatic file downloading is described.
Rumor source identification in complex networks
TL;DR: This thesis conducts an in-depth study on rumor spreading process through a complex network, with the objective to identify the source(s) of the rumor.

Riccati equation as topology-based model of computer worms and discrete SIR model with constant infectious period
Daisuke Satoh,Masato Uchida +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed discrete and continuous infection models of computer worms via e-mail or social networking site (SNS) messengers that were previously classified as worms spreading through topological neighbors.

Agent Methods for Network Intrusion Detection and Response
TL;DR: This contribution reviews recent implementations of IDS systems and presents them from an agent research perspective, and proposes that the distributed decision-making and planning techniques can be used to shorten the detection-response loop, making the system more robust while facing worms.
Proceedings Article
Optimising malware
TL;DR: This paper introduces an aim-oriented performance theory for malware and malware attacks, and uses the OODA loop model, a well-known paradigm of command and control borrowed from military doctrine, as a tool for organising and reasoning about the behavioural characteristics of malware and orchestrated attacks using it.

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.
