DEFENDING AGAINST THE MALWARE BY MEANS OF USING EPIDERMIC METHODOLOGY

Abstract :

Malware is malicious software program deployed by cyber attackers to compromise computer systems by exploiting their security vulnerabilities. This method investigates how malware propagates in networks from a global perspective. These formulate the problem, and establish a rigorous two layer epidemic model for malware propagation from network to network. The analysis indicates that the distribution of a given malware follows exponential distribution, power law distribution with a short exponential tail, and power law distribution at its early, late and final stages, respectively. In the proposed method the distribution of a given malware at their ISP domains, where the conditions for the two layer model are analyzed. Extensive experiments have been performed through two realworld global scale malware data sets, and the results confirm our theoretical findings.
