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?.

Worm Detection System Based on Positive Selection

Wu Li
- 01 Jan 2010 - 
TL;DR: Experimental results of the GTNetS (Georgia Tech Network Simulation) platform show that the proposed worm detection system is effective to detect worms, and the system’s influence on normal network traffic is minor.

Optimal control of mobile malware epidemics

TL;DR: It is proved that it is optimal for the attacker to defer killing of the infective nodes in the propagation phase until reaching a certain time and then start the slaughter with maximum effort, and structural properties of the optimal strategy of the attacker are established.

Intrusion detection techniques for virtual domains

TL;DR: This paper considers the design choices for attack detection and proposes intrusion detection architecture to deal with attacks in virtual domains, which takes into account the specific features of the virtual machine as well as security policies of thevirtual domains todeal with different types of attacks invirtual machines.

A Reconfigurable Platform and Programming Tools for High-Level Network Applications Demonstrated as a Hardware Honeypot

TL;DR: This work presents the NetStage platform, employing reconfigurable computing for high-throughput low-latency network processing, as well as associated development tools that allow networking domain experts to easily customize the system, and considers the realization of high-performance attack-resilient honeypots based on NetStage.

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.
