Suicide Based P2P Worms Defensive Approach

A suicide based defensive approach is proposed in this paper. In this novel defensive solution, a set of defensive nodes with capacity of detecting P2P worms will be deployed into a P2P network. While P2P worms break out, these defensive nodes will collect P2P worm data to construct a detection model to prevent the spreading of P2P worms. First, these defensive nodes will suicide to avoid being infected and exploited after P2P worm breaking out. Furthermore, each suicide node will also send a warning message to its neighbors to take preventive actions.
