- An OS Independent Heuristics-Based Worm-Containment System
- This paper presents an operating system independent and tamper-resistant worm-containment end-system. This system continuously observes outgoing network traffic over a finite-duration traffic window, and using heuristic rules executing in a secondary environment, detects infections. It automatically quarantines the infected host to stop further spread of the worm. The paper presents...
