Malware Avoidance Using Two Epidemic Layers
Keywords:
Malware, Malware Propagation, Two Layers, Power Law, Supervised ClassificationAbstract
Malware are malicious software programs deployed by cyber attackers to compromise computer. The solution to this problem is desperately desired by cyber defenders as the network security community does not yet have solid answers. The main scope of our project to investigate how malware propagate in networks from a global perspective. We propose a two layer malware propagation model to describe the development of a given malware at the Internet level. Compared with the existing single layer epidemic models, the proposed model represents malware propagation better in large-scale networks.
