Email worms constitute one of the major Internet security problems. We present an email
worm model that accounts for the behaviors of email users by considering email checking …

This paper discusses modeling and simulation issues associated with the stochastic
behavior of a special type of a computer worm called a random constant scanning (RCS) …

Nowadays malware is a major threat to the security of cyber activities. The rapid
development of the Internet and the progressive implementation of the Internet of Things …

Many computer viruses spread via electronic mail, making use of computer users' email

In this paper we receive models that in some situations can be applied to the theory of
computer viruses propagation. As the authors in [3] mention:” It is very hard to use some real …

A major challenge when attempting to analyze and model large-scale Internet phenomena
such as the dynamics of global worm propagation is finding appropriate abstractions that …

Social network worms, such as email worms and facebook worms, pose a critical security
threat to the Internet. Modeling their propagation dynamics is essential to predict their …

The Internet has a very complex connectivity recently modeled by the class of scale-free
networks. This feature, which appears to be very efficient for a communications network …

Worm propagation profiles have significantly changed since 2003-2004: sudden world
