An enhancement to existing epidemiological worm models is proposed which is used to simulate the spread of aggressive worms within computer networks. The proposed model presents worm propagation dynamics in five state transitions in a finite state machine model. The results obtained from the simulation are used to compare the dependability of previous worm quarantine models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
