To study the passive worm behaviors, this paper firstly analyzes and obtains the average delay for all peers in the whole transmitting process due to the limitation of network throughput, and then proposes a mathematical model for the propagation of passive worms over the unstructured P2P networks. The model mainly takes the effect of the network throughput into account, and applies a new healthy files dissemination-based defense strategy according to the file popularity which follows the Zipf distribution. The simulation results show that the propagation of passive worms is mainly governed by the number of hops, initially infected files and uninfected files. The larger the number of hops, the more rapidly the passive worms propagate. If the number of the initially infected files is increased by the attackers, the propagation speed of passive worms increases obviously. A larger size of the uninfected file results in a better attack performance. However, the number of files generated by passive worms is not an important factor governing the propagation of passive worms. The effectiveness of healthy files dissemination strategy is verified. This model can provide a guideline in the control of unstructured P2P networks as well as passive worm defense.展开更多

But it is foreseeable that in the near future any object will have a unique identification and can be addressed and con- nected. The Internet will expand to the Internet of Things. IPv6 is the cornerstone of the Internet of Things. In this paper, we investigate a fast active worm, referred to as topological worm, which can propagate twice to more than three times faster tl^an a traditional scan-based worm. Topological worm spreads over AS-level network topology, making traditional epidemic models invalid for modeling the propagation of it. For this reason, we study topological worm propagation relying on simulations. First, we propose a new complex weighted network mod- el, which represents the real IPv6 AS-level network topology. And then, a new worm propagation model based on the weighted network model is constructed, which descries the topological worm propagation over AS-level network topology. The simulation results verify the topological worm model and demonstrate the effect of parameters on the propagation.展开更多

According to omnirange driving in expressway interchange terminal and vehicular mobile communication environment, an IOV worm propagation model is constructed; and then according to the dynamic propagation law and destructiveness of IOV worm in this environment, a novel hybrid anti-worm strategy for confrontation is designed. This worm propagation model can factually simulates the IOV worm propagation in this interchange terminal environment; and this hybrid anti-worm strategy can effectively control IOV worm propagation in the environment, moreover, it can reduce the influence on network resource overhead.展开更多

Based on the analysis on the protocols of realistic P2P systems, a software which can be used to simulate the P2P network environment and the propagation of P2P active worm is imple- mented in this paper. A large number of simulation experiments are performed using the developed simulation software. The results from these simulation experiments validate the proposed model, which means that the model can be used to analyze the spreading behaviors of the P2P active worm and predict its trend.展开更多

Multi-agent system for Worm Detection and Containment in MAN (MWDCM) is presented to provide a first-class automatic reaction mechanism that automatically applies containment strategies to block the propagation of the worms and to protect MAN against worm scan that wastes a lot of network bandwidth and crashes the routers.
