A dramatic increase in the number of computing devices with wireless communication
capability has resulted in the emergence of a new class of computer worms which …

The ubiquity of portable wireless-enabled computing and communications devices has
stimulated the emergence of malicious codes (wireless worms) that are capable of …

We describe a modeling framework to study the spread of malware over realistic wireless
networks. We develop (i) methods for generating synthetic, yet realistic wireless networks …

Lately, computer worms have become a major problem for large computer networks,
causing considerable amounts of resources and time to be spent recovering from large …

There are the two common means for propagating worms: scanning vulnerable computers in
the network and spreading through topological neighbors. Modeling the propagation of …

As many people rely on e-mail communications for business and everyday life, Internet e-
mail worms constitute one of the major security threats for our society. Unlike scanning …

The highlight of worm outbreaks in 2004 was a new phenomenon called 'War of the Worms'
between NetSky, Bagle and MyDoom worm variants. Their aftermaths caused the record …

This paper describes a series of simulations run to estimate various worm growth patterns
and their corresponding propagation algorithms. It also tests and verifies the impact of …

An encounter-based network is a frequently disconnected wireless ad hoc network requiring
immediate neighbors to store and forward aggregated data for information disseminations …

A botnet in mobile networks is a collection of compromised nodes due to mobile malware,
which are able to perform coordinated attacks. Different from Internet botnets, mobile botnets …
