This directory hold patterns for viruses, worms and the like. Please see also ../file_types/README # Copyright (C) 2008 Matthew Strait, Ethan Sommer; See ../LICENSE The patterns here now (Code Red, Nimda) are only for proof-of-concept. To usefully control the spread of a new worm through bandwidth arbitration, it will be necessary for new patterns to be written quickly in response to the new worm. Also the patterns must be more flexible than the ones presented here, as these only use simple string matching, which would be easily defeated by any reasonably clever worm.
