Worm Evolution Tracking via Timing Analysis

INTRODUCTION
Worm outbreaks are security events that occur with relatively low frequency, but when they do occur, they can have significant impact on daily network operations. This ever-present threat of severe network disruption has been the motivating factor behind most, if not all, research on practical strategies for worm detection and containment ( see [11, 16, 18, 20, 21] ). There is, however, one desirable aspect of research that falls under the general umbrella of worm mitigation that has received far less attention in the past, namely back-tracking the evolution of a worm outbreak. In fact, thus far there has been little progress in the design and analysis of effective strategies for discovering the sequence with which a worm infected its victims. Even for worms that exhibit uniform scanning behavior, uncovering this sequence is a daunting task, but one that provides invaluable information. For one, doing so has direct pragmatic implications as it allows network operators to pinpoint the initial set of infected machines, thereby gleaning potentially useful forensic evidence.

How To Use This Guide

You are on the front line to repel the Nazis from occupied Paris. A renegade with ties to the French Resistance, you hit the Nazis from everywhere but out in the open: blowing up installations from the shadows, killing from the sewers, stealing Gestapo uniforms and operating disguised. When you do show up in public, you always make sure your gun is bigger than theirs. With a “bigger is better” attitude, we put together a guide so massive it’s bulging with mission strategy, expert advice, maps, stats, and enough dynamite tips to blow your mind…

Invictus Study Guide

Feature movies are a medium, an art and a business. Each of these elements plays a role. As a medium, movies represent ideas through the codes and conventions of sound and moving image. As art, they make personal and cultural statements to their audiences. As businesses, they create work for their creators and profits for their investors and distributors.

This guide, which extends the ideas presented in Invictus episode of Beyond the Screen, may be used by teachers as they support their students, by parents who want to discuss the movie with their children, or by serious viewers who want to think beyond the screen.

Plot Synopsis: Nelson Mandela, president of South Africa, decides to use the upcoming Rugby World Cup games to re-define South Africa and encourage coloured and white South Africans to cooperate with one another as they build a new nation. During the process, he must diplomatically overcome challenges posed by his own African National Conference party, his security guards, his presidential staffers and the fact that the national team lacks international experience.
