Protecting against Self-Propagating Worms
University researchers have developed a new code to contain 'stealthiest' of self-propagating worms that cause damage to millions of computers around the globe. The new algorithm that targets these worms, contain them before an outbreak can occur. The computer worms, also known as infectious computer programs, are malicious programs which after being released can spread throughout networks without human control, stealing or erasing hard drive data, interfering with pre-installed programs and slowing, even crashing, home and work computers. In 2001, the 'Code Red' worms caused $2 billion worth of damage worldwide. The new algorithm defends against the spread of local scanning worms that search for hosts in 'local' spaces within networks or sub-networks.
