Verme: Worm Containment in Peer-to-Peer Overlays

Overview Peer-to-peer overlays provide an ideal substrate for worm propagation. P2p-assisted worms have the potential to spread faster than traditional scanning worms because they have knowledge of a subset of the overlay nodes, and choose these nodes to propagate themselves; and also because they can avoid traditional detection mechanisms. This paper presents a novel approach for containing p2p-assisted worms based on the fact that some overlay nodes may not have common vulnerabilities, due to their platform diversity.
