From: tom at lemuria.org (Tom) Subject: Worm Propagation Simulation (paper) Greetings - After several cycles through peer-review, I have decided to publish my paper on simulation of worm propagation algorithms. This was started as a means to find out just how bad things could in theory become. It concentrates on the propagation only, I do not discuss specific exploits and include only a small discussion of possible payloads. You can find it at http://web.lemuria.org/security/WormPropagation.pdf Some results: Very fast worms (aka flash worms) are possible. Wide-spread destruction of host systems is possible and will not slow down a properly written worm, contrary to popular opinion. I also show how such worms could work (discussion, no code). -- PGP/GPG key: http://web.lemuria.org/pubkey.html pub 1024D/2D7A04F5 2002-05-16 Tom Vogt <tom@...uria.org> Key fingerprint = C731 64D1 4BCF 4C20 48A4 29B2 BF01 9FA1 2D7A 04F5 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
