Abstract :
In order to solve the controllability problem of worm attack range and effect in network counterwork and achieve the precise attack on the target host, we propose a propagation control method based on lifetime and a damage control method based on atomic attack. Based on these, we design a kind of CWS (controlled-worm system) and implement the prototype system in the LAN. Implementation results show that CWS can not only control the survival time but also carry out targeted attacks on controlled hosts. Comparing with traditional controlled worms, the worm controlled by the CWS can attack targeted hosts with a certain degree of covertness and pertinence.
