摘要：Active worms pose major security threats to the Internet. This is due to the ability of active worms to propagate in an automated fashion as they continuously compromise computers on the Internet. Here we analyze hidden type active worms, referred to as Camouflaging Worm. This Worm is different from basic worms because of its ability to intelligent manipulate its scan traffic volume over time. This worm Camouflages its propagation from existing worm detection systems based on analyzing the propagation traffic generated by worms. We analyze characteristics of the Camouflages worm and conduct a comprehensive comparison between its traffic and non-worm traffic (background traffic).Using a comprehensive set of detection metrics and real-world traces as background traffic, we conduct extensive performance evaluations on our proposed spectrum-based detection scheme.
