ABSTRACT:
A worm is a malicious process that autonomously spreads itself from one host to another. To infect a host, a worm must somehow copy itself to the host. The method in which a worm transmits a copy of itself produces network traffic patterns that can be generalized as a traffic behavior. As a worm spreads itself across the network, the propagation of the traffic behavior can be witnessed as hosts are infected, one after another. By monitoring the network traffic for propagations of traffic behaviors, a presence of a worm can be detected.
