On Intelligent Agent-Based Simulation of Network Worms Propagation

To assess the propagation behavior of network worms, it is advisable to use modeling techniques. Existing models are based on deterministic approaches, which does not allow to take into account the dynamic nature of the development of the malware epidemic process. A multi-agent network worm propagation model has been developed, for example, the Code Red worm, which eliminates the disadvantages of deterministic analytic models. The simulation results allow you to accurately repeat the dynamics of the real behavior of the Code Red worm, and can be used to study the behavior of other network worms.
