Research of Internet worm behavior simulation based on grid

The traditional network simulator don't have the ability of simulation for the process of large-scale network security incidents outbreak, we designed a grid-based Internet worm behavior simulator which is consisted of foreground applications and background analog subsystems in parallel. It makes the most of the benefit of the grid computing capability, resource and task management. The experimental result shows that the grid based Internet worm behavior simulator provides a very effective analysis of data for the early detection of unknown worms' research and that is the effective means to solve large-scale worm behavioral analysis, study the unknown detection methods, and assess the situation and a variety of worm containment strategies.
