The Worm Propagation Model and Control Strategy Based on Distributed Honeynet

Considering honeypot host performs high inveiglement to worms and its data control policy-"come in easily, out strictly", this paper presents a worm propagation model based on two-factor model in the network which distributed honeynet have been deployed, then discusses worm propagation trend and the impact of honeypot on worm spread; over simulation experiment, we find that distributed honeynet is of great significance in worm warning and restraining in large-scale networks. At last, we give a correspondingly control strategy based on the mechanism of worm information-sharing and immunization and honeypot host can divides network into many parts for its data control policy under distributed honeynet, prevent worm from spreading in large-scale networks and ensure network security effectively.
