Automatic Defense Against Zero-day Polymorphic Worms in Communication Networks

by Mohssen Mohammed, Al-Sakib Khan Pathan

Overview

Able to propagate quickly and change their payload with each infection, polymorphic worms have been able to evade even the most advanced intrusion detection systems (IDS). And, because zero-day worms require only seconds to launch flooding attacks on your servers, using traditional methods such as manually creating and storing signatures to de
