Modeling and Analysis of Patching Structured Benign Worms Countering against Worms

Due to the active defense of benign worms against the damage imposed by worms, benign worms have been paid enough attention by network security researchers. This paper presents patching structured benign worms, and we designed their deployment and work mechanism. Furthermore, the process of patching structured benign worms countering against worms is modeled based on the infectious model. Finally, the model was simulated. From the simulation, two factors (detection rate of the sensor and delay time), which affect the process of patching structured benign worms countering against worms, were summarized. The model of patching structured benign worms leads to a better understanding and prediction of the scale and speed of benign worms countering against the propagation of worms.
