  Abstract

An Internet worm is a self?replicating malware program which uses a computer network. As the network connectivity among computers increases, Internet worms have become widespread and are still big threats. There are many approaches to model the propagation of Internet worms such as Code Red, Nimda, and Slammer to get the insight of their behaviors and to devise possible defense methods to suppress worms" propagation activities. The influence of the network characteristics on the worm propagation has usually been modeled by medical epidemic model, named SI model, due to its simplicity and the similarity of propagation patterns. So far, SI model is still dominant and new variations of the SI model, called Si-style models, are being proposed for the modeling of new Internet worms. In this paper, we elaborate the problems of Si-style models and then propose a new accurate stochastic model using an occupancy problem.
