Abstract

The wide-spread connectivity provided by Internet and an increasing use of computers have led to the rapid propagation of malicious mobile codes like viruses and worms. Worm programs have never stopped their attacking since Morris worm was found in 1988 [2]. Famous ones include Code Red and Nimda in 2001, SQL Slammer, Blaster and Welchia in 2003, Netsky and Sasser in 2004. The computer worms disrupt tens of thousands of businesses and homes worldwide, and cause millions of dollars of loss in the society [5]. In this paper, we propose a control system to automatically detect such malicious code and mitigate its propagation at the early infection stage.
