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

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.

Honeypot-based Signature Generation for Polymorphic Worms
Sounak Paul,Bimal Kumar Mishra +1 more
TL;DR: Evaluation based on synthetically generated polymorphic worms demonstrate that the novel honeypot system described is able to enhance the capability of IDS signature library and increases the probability of detecting polymorphicworms with efficiency, accuracy.

Worm Detection in Large Scale Network by Traffic
TL;DR: This paper constructs a network traffic model which concern two parameters: the traffic volume and curve of traffic function, and proposes a method to computer the function curve of normal traffic function in ideal condition.

A Host-Based Approach for Unknown Fast-Spreading Worm Detection and Containment
TL;DR: This article presents WormTerminator, a host-based solution for fast Internet worm detection and containment with the assistance of virtual machine techniques based on the fast-worm defining characteristic, and demonstrates its effectiveness against the real Internet worm Linux/Slapper.

Understanding mutable internet pathogens, or how i learned to stop worrying and love parasitic behavior
TL;DR: This talk considers a parasite for the Internet, providing biological metaphors for its behavior and demonstrating the structure of pathogens, and shows that even with low infection rates, a mutating pathogen will eventually infect an entire community.

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.
