A system, method, and computer program product for identifying a worm are disclosed. The system, method, and computer product are configured to generate a signature for a computer worm by identifying a set of bits representing the signature, generate a first worm signature based on the signature, and generate a second worm signature based on the signature. The first worm signature is formatted for a first device and the second worm signature is formatted for a second, different device. The first worm signature and the second worm signature are different.

Worm propagation mitigation

A system, method and computer program product for exploit-based worm detection and mitigation are disclosed. The system, method, and computer program product are configured to identify a signature representing content prevalent in network traffic, determine if the traffic including the signature exhibits propagation, determine if the traffic including the signature exhibits connectedness, and generate a worm signature based on the signature if the signature exhibits both connectedness and propagation.
