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

Effective Detection of Active Worms with Varying Scan Rate
TL;DR: This paper model a new form of active worms called varying scan rate worm (the VSR worm in short), which deliberately varies its scan rate and is able to avoid being effectively detected by existing worm detection schemes.

Determining cardinality of a parameter using hash values
TL;DR: In this article, a method and system for aggregating configuration information from friend devices is presented, which attempts to foil attacks on the privacy of data contributed to a request by aggregating data from a cluster of friend devices in such a way that it is difficult for a device in the cluster and an attacking device outside the cluster to determine the contribution of an individual device to the data.

Industrial control system security taxonomic framework with application to a comprehensive incidents survey
TL;DR: The HTF and the analytical incidents study are carried out to extract the useful patterns and key points for organizing threat intelligence in ICSs and critical infrastructures to improve their security level according to the cyber-attacks trends.

Abnormal traffic detection and its implementation
TL;DR: This paper discusses traffic analysis method in point of view of network security, and presents abnormal traffic detection method which is based on anomaly analysis, and shows experimental results of the analysis model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inside the permutation-scanning worms: propagation modeling and analysis
TL;DR: A mathematical model is proposed that precisely characterizes the propagation patterns of the general permutation-scanning worms, a class of worms that are fast yet stealthy, and the impact of dynamic network conditions on the correctness of the model is investigated.

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.
