Abstract :
Propagating malwares have drawn significant attention as a result of their serious impact on the internet and the network security. Although the development of stochastic models of worm propagation has been on, but the real internet prevention mechanism have not been deployed in the network simulations. The real worm propagation cycle identifies the ways and means the worms exploit to spread themselves, it provides for real parameter modeling based on the campus environment topology. The paper considers some common practices and typical worm propagation and tries to analytically provide mathematical model based on improved SIR Two-Factor model for worm propagation on the campus network environment that will help in predicting and forecasting the trend.
