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

An evaluation platform for forensic memory acquisition software
Stefan Vömel,Johannes Stüttgen +1 more
TL;DR: An evaluation platform for forensic memory acquisition software capable of measuring distinct factors that determine the quality of a generated memory image, specifically its correctness, atomicity, and integrity is presented.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
An empirical study of global malware encounters
TL;DR: It is found that trojans, worms, and viruses are most prevalent in Sub-Saharan African countries, and the main factor that explains high malware exposure of these countries is a widespread computer piracy especially when combined with poverty.
Book
Information Technology Security Handbook
TL;DR: Although most of the research and publications on IT security comes from developed countries, the authors have attempted to provide practical guidance applicable anywhere and to include examples from developing countries.

A Characterization of Cybersecurity Posture from Network Telescope Data
TL;DR: This paper analyzes some real data collected by CAIDA's network telescope during the month of March 2013, and proposes the concept of sweep-time, and shows that sweep- time should be modeled by stochastic process, rather than random variable.

Security Assurance Aggregation for IT Infrastructures
Nguyen Pham,M. Riguidel +1 more
TL;DR: A general method to combine security assurance information into system wide values is introduced, which takes into account the fact that the relations in complex systems are non-linear and also the appearance of emergent properties.

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.
Proceedings Article
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).
Proceedings ArticleDOI
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.
