Abstract

In this paper, we propose a simple algorithm for detecting scanning worms with high detection rate and low false positive rate. The novelty of our algorithm is inspecting the frequency characteristic of scanning worms from a monitored network. Its low complexity allows it to be used on any networkbased intrusion detection system as a real time detection module for high-speed networks. Our algorithm need not be adjusted to network status because its parameters depend on application types, which are generally and widely used in any networks such as web and P2P services. By using real traces, we evaluate the performance of our algorithm and compare it with that of SNORT. The results confirm that our algorithm outperforms SNORT with respect to detection rate and false positive rate.
