Abstract |
As Peer-to-peer (P2P) networking technologies become popular, P2P worms which exploit common vulnerabilities of P2P software to achieve fast worm propagation have emerged. It is believed that software diversity can decrease the virulence of worms and the effectiveness of repeated applications of single attacks. In this paper, we introduce software diversity into the prevention of worm propagation in P2P networks. In particular, we propose a P2P-based software diversity model and conduct both theoretical analysis and extensive simulations to test the performance of software diversity in containing P2P worm propagation. The results indicate that our work can provide a new way to mitigate threats of P2P worms. |
