"The Threat of Internet Worms"
icsi.berkeley.edu
Recent years have seen repeated releases of Internet-scale "worms" - programs that self-propagate across the network by exploiting security vulnerabilities in open Internet servers. The speed and size of the infections pose great challenges for defending against them. We will look at measured behavior of worms, likely evolution of "better" worms as attackers incorporate additional techniques, and possibilities for defenses.
