摘要
We present an extensive flow-level traffic analysis of the network worm Blaster.A and of the e-mail worm Sobig.F. Based on packet-level measurements with these worms in a testbed we defined flow-level filters. We then extracted the flows that carried malicious worm traffic from AS559 (SWITCH) border router backbone traffic that we had captured in the DDoSVax project. We discuss characteristics and anomalies detected during the outbreak phases, and present an in-depth analysis of partially and completely successful Blaster infections. Detailed flow-level traffic plots of the outbreaks are given. We found a short network test of a Blaster pre-release, significant changes of various traffic parameters, backscatter effects due to non-existent hosts, ineffectiveness of certain temporary port blocking countermeasures, and a surprisingly low frequency of successful worm code transmissions due to Blaster's multi-stage nature. Finally, we detected many TCP packet retransmissions due to Sobig.F's far too greedy spreading algorithm.
