Abstract
Internet worms have been the major Internet threats may disclose important information and can bring about faults of computer systems, which spread with the fastest speed among malicious codes. Simultaneously spreading multiple worms and its variants are revealing the limitation of conventional responses based on single worms. In order to defend them effectively, it is necessary to study how multiple worms propagate and what factors affect worm spreading. In this paper, we improve the existed single worm spreading models and try to describe the correct spreads of multiple worms. Thus we analyze the spreading effects of multiple worms and its variants by various experiments.
