Explain the difficulty of creating a computer virus and discuss the frequency with which this happens. The degree of virus was determined by the complexity of the logic that the user or creator want to give and want to do. The programming language of choice for developing virus is the Assembler as the so called high-level languages such as Turbo Pascal, C, database managers, etc., are designed to produce software applications. Using different techniques to create complex virus the person succeeds

Internet worm outbreaks have infected hundreds of thousands of Internet servers and user machines within minutes, causing billions of dollars in losses for businesses, governments, and service providers. The high stakes involved have inspired numerous research projects, through which industry and academic institutions are working to strengthen local-area and wide-area networked systems’ abilities to fend off cyber-attacks. To that end, we propose to find new algorithm to detect internet worm viruses

on the Aventine, of which his uncle was abbot, and he probably took monastic vows. The Emperor Henry III took him to Germany, and he continued his studies in Cologne. Very likely he also visited Aix-la-Chapelle and Cluny. He attended the council at Worms at which Bishop Bruno of Toul was chosen Pope (Leo IX), and the latter took him to Rome (1049) and made him a cardinal subdeacon. He had great influence during the pontificate of Leo. On the latter's death (1054) the Roman people manifested a desire

most of the time in harmless programs. Email worms are spread through emails, they usually spread via attachment. These type of worms need to be opened before they can do anything. Worms can take up much needed memory and cause computers, web servers, and network servers to stop responding. Instant messaging worms are spread through instant messages, and their main purpose is to replicate themselves and infect users. This type of worm can cause a network to shut down or allows hackers

A Brief History “In 1949, Von Neumann established the Theory of Self-Reproducing Automata, where he presented for the first time the possibility of developing small replicating programs able to control other programs with a similar structure In 1959, in Bell Computer’s laboratories, three young programmers: Robert Thomas Morris, Douglas Mcllroy and Victor Vysottsky created a game called CoreWar, based on the theory of Von Neumann and in which programs fought between each other, trying to occupy

Backdoors give hackers the opportunity to establish a connection to a network that they haven’t been authorized to join from a remote location. Backdoors make their way onto systems and networks through vulnerabilities. This allows the backdoor to exploit the vulnerabilities on the system and network by installing itself on the system without being seen. This is when the hacker has made his way onto a system and can take control of it. Backdoors can do so many different types while on a system

CIS 109: Week 3 – The Love Bug Virus January 27, 2014 Ten years ago the Love bug virus infiltrated computers around the world throwing consumers - and sometimes government offices - into turmoil. Ten years later many consumers think viruses are a thing of the past and that any anti-virus software will protect them. The truth is consumers, businesses, and brands are still very susceptible to viruses and malware simply because many attacks go undetected until it's too late. Computer programmers

To create a virus, a user or attacker needs to create a code. In this code the attacker needs to express what type of virus, he/ or she wants to use. Once the attacker determines what type of virus is going to be used, then they must determine who they want to attack. Lastly, ask what type of data they want to gain from the attack. People write computer viruses. The person has to write the code, test it to make sure it spreads properly and then release it. A person also designs the virus's attack
