Abstract

Large-scale worm outbreaks that lead to distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks pose a major threat to the Internet infrastructureýs security. Fast containment is crucial for minimizing damage and preventing flooding attacks against network hosts. To that end, the authors' NetShield system provides collaborative worm monitoring, detection, and automated signature generation.
