Abstract :
An enhancement to existing epidemiological worm models is proposed which is used to simulate the spread of aggressive worms within computer networks. The proposed model presents worm propagation dynamics in five state transitions in a finite state machine model. The results obtained from the simulation are used to compare the dependability of previous worm quarantine models
