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

LIFT: A Low-Overhead Practical Information Flow Tracking System for Detecting Security Attacks
TL;DR: This paper proposes a low overhead, software-only information flow tracking system, called LIFT, which minimizes run-time overhead by exploiting dynamic binary instrumentation and optimizations/or detecting various types of security attacks without requiring any hardware changes.

Modeling Botnet Propagation Using Time Zones.
TL;DR: A diurnal propagation model is created that uses diurnal shaping functions to capture regional variations in online vulnerable populations and lets one compare propagation rates for different botnets, and prioritize response.

Characteristics of internet background radiation
TL;DR: This work breaks down the components of background radiation by protocol, application, and often specific exploit; analyzes temporal patterns and correlated activity; and assess variations across different networks and over time.

Security for Industrial Communication Systems
TL;DR: An overview of IT security issues in industrial automation systems which are based on open communication systems, which have a number of security-relevant characteristics distinct from the office IT systems are given.

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.
