Abstract:
Abstract — In recent years, fast spreading worms have become one of the major threats to the security of the Internet. In order to defend against future worms, it is important to understand how worms propagate and how different scanning strategies affect their propagation. In this paper, we model and analyze worm propagation under various scanning strategies, such as idealized scan, uniform scan, divide-andconquer scan, local preference scan, sequential scan, target scan, etc. We also analyze and discuss how attackers could optimize their scanning strategies, and provide some guidelines for building up a monitoring infrastructure to defend against future worms.
