Automatic Defense Against Zero-day Polymorphic Worms in Communication Networks

'Polymorphic worm attacks are considered one of the top threats to Internet security. They can be used to delay networks, steal information, delete information, and launch flooding attacks against servers. This book supplies unprecedented coverage of howto generate automated signatures for unknown polymorphic worms. Describing attack detection approaches and automated signature generation systems, the book details the design of double-honeynet systems and the experimental investigation of double-honeynet systems. It also discusses experimental implementation of signature-generation algorithms.'--
