Self-duplicating, self-propagating malicious codes known as computer worms spread
themselves without any human interaction and launch the most destructive attacks against …

In this paper we explore the problem of creating vulnerability signatures. A vulnerability
signature matches all exploits of a given vulnerability, even polymorphic or metamorphic …

Because of cost and resource constraints, sensor nodes do not have a complicated
hardware architecture or operating system to protect program safety. Hence, the notorious …

The vulnerabilities that plague computers cause endless grief to users. Slammer
compromised millions of hosts in minutes; a hit-list worm would take under a second …

Network robustness is an important principle in biology and engineering. Previous studies of
global networks have identified both redundancy and sparseness as topological properties …

This work provides an information-theoretic view to better understand the relationships
between aggregated vulnerability information viewed by attackers and a class of …

Worms are self–replicating, fast moving malicious codes, capable of spreading themselves
without human interaction. It'sa weapon of choice for those, who like to launch destructive …

In this paper, we explore the problem of creating\emph {vulnerability signatures}. A
vulnerability signature is based on a program vulnerability, and is not specific to any …

This work investigates three aspects:(a) a network vulnerability as the non-uniform
vulnerable-host distribution,(b) threats, ie, intelligent worms that exploit such a vulnerability …

Network servers are vulnerable to attack, and this state of affairs shows no sign of abating.
Therefore security measures to protect vulnerable software is an important part of keeping …
