  Abstract

In this paper, we present a simulation model of Slammer worm propagation process which caused serious disruptions on Internet in the year of 2003 and analyze the process of Slammer by using NS-2. Recently introduced NS-2 modeling called “Detailed Network-Abstract Network Model” had enabled packet level analysis. However, it had deficiency of accommodating only small sized network. By extending the NS-2 DN-AN model to AN-AN model (Abstract Network-Abstract Network model), it is effectively simulated that the whole process from the initial infection to the total network congestion on hourly basis not only for the Korean network but also for the rest of the world networks. Furthermore, the progress of the propagation from Korean network to the other country was also simulated through the AN-AN model. 8,848 hosts in Korean network were infected in 290 second and 66,152 overseas hosts were infected in 308 second. Moreover, the scanning traffics of the worm at the Korean international gateway saturated the total bandwidth in 154 seconds for the inbound traffic and in 135 seconds for the outbound one.
