Can We Use Epidemic Models to Predict DDoS Attacks?
Yes, epidemic models such as the SIR model (Susceptible, Infectious, Recovered) can be adapted to predict the spread of DDoS attacks. In this context: - Susceptible systems are those that have not yet been compromised but are vulnerable. - Infectious systems are those that are part of the botnet and actively participating in the attack. - Recovered systems are those that have been patched or otherwise secured against further compromise.
