Faster Recognition Of Invasive Internet Worms
Scientists may have found a new way to combat the most dangerous form of computer virus.
The method automatically detects within minutes when an Internet worm has infected a computer network.
Network administrators can then isolate infected machines and hold them in quarantine for repairs.
Ness Shroff, Ohio Eminent Scholar in Networking and Communications at Ohio State University, and his colleagues describe their strategy in the current issue of IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing.
