Abstract

Epidemic and stochastic models have been employed for describing the dynamic behavior of malware outbreaks. However, most of them lack a holistic treatment of the problem. In this work, we model malware propagation as a Markov Random Field and employ Gibbs sampling for the analysis of the system. We demonstrate the proposed framework for the case of a chain network, a model often emerging in both wired and wireless multi-hop networks.
