Researchers at Penn State University have developed an algorithm that defends against the spread of local
scanning worms that search for hosts in “local” spaces within networks
or sub-networks. This strategy allows them access to hosts that are
clustered, which means once they infect one host, the rest can be can
be infected quickly. Read the full article. [Dark Reading]
