The simulator of malwares epidemic spreading in computer networks

Journal Title: Computer Science and Mathematical Modelling - Year 2009, Vol 0, Issue 4

Abstract

The paper focuses special attention on research of Complex Networks (CN). CN have Scale Free and Small Word features, what make them accurate model of many networks such as telecommunication. These features, which appear to be very efficient for communication, favor at the same time the spreading of computer viruses.Based on defined centrality measures, we show how to discover the critical elements of any networks. The identification of the critical elements of a given network should be the first concern in order to reduce the consequence of viruses spreading. We define dynamic model for the spreading of viruses on networks and build application to simulate and analyze many epidemic scenarios. Based on available data of some networks, we show how and why epidemics are spreading in real telecommunication networks like Internet and how could be halted.
