Large-scale worm outbreaks that lead to distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks pose a major threat to the Internet infrastructure?s security. Fast containment is crucial for minimizing damage and preventing flooding attacks against network hosts. To that end, the authors' NetShield system provides collaborative worm monitoring, detection, and automated signature generation.
