Message-ID: <8811141442.AA05939@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU> Date: 9 Nov 88 09:16:27 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 13 I would be very interested in receiving any network packet traces taken while the recent worm hopped about and (re)infected multiple machines connected by LAN connections/routers. We would like to see to what degree the externally visible network traffic stood out from the "normal" traffic. The goal would be to be able to provide earlier warnings of anomalous behaviour than having a system choke itself to death, and then try to take action. For example, I am interested in any observations as to whether average activity took a nose dive (as other processes clogged up) or increased (due to the agressive attempts to spread itself). Any formats of actual traces are of interest (assuming they are described in some .h file - like fashion somewhere).
