Question

Q2. Both CodeRed and Slammar are uses random scan to probe and propagate them- selves. Their infection rate fits into a model called random constant spread (RCS) model. However, Slammer spread nearly two orders of magnitude faster than CodeRed. Read the Slammer paper and answer following questions. a. In the RCS model, why the infectionate will saturate eventually? (2 points) b. The spread rate of Slammer saturated much earlier than the RCS model, why? (2 points) c. What contributes to the much faster spread rate of Slammer? (4 points)

Explanation / Answer

a)in the rcs model,why the infection rate will saturate eventually


ans)In the rcs model the infection rate will saturated eventually
because of
The two reasons are consumption of band width and failure of network.

b) The spread rate of slammer satutated much earlier than the rcs model why?

The networkscans,bandwidth consumption and network outage causes
site variation speciations due to that reason infection rate goes to
saturation in the spread rate of slammer.

c)what contributes to the much faster spread rate of slammer

ans) A computer worm is the slammer but human response is not effective.
due to random scanning it spreads faster.
