Abstract:Active Peer-to-Peer (P2P) worms present serious threats to the global Internet by exploiting popular P2P applications to perform rapid topological self-propagation. Active P2P worms pose more deadly threats than normal scanning worms because they do not exhibit easily detectable anomalies, thus many existing defenses are no longer effective.We propose an immunity system with Phagocytes -a small subset of elected P2P hosts that are immune with high probability and specialized in finding and "eating" worms in th… Show more
