  1. Warhol worm

    No footnotes date March 2010 A Warhol worm is an extremely rapidly propagating computer worm that spreads as fast as physically possible, infecting all vulnerable machines on the entire Internet in 15 minutes or less. The term is based on Andy Warhol s remark that Fifteen minutes of fame In the future, everyone will have 15 minutes of fame . The analysis was extended by Stuart Staniford to create the flash worm concept. More information on these concepts is in How to 0wn the Internet in your Spare Time by Staniford, Paxson, and Weaver appeared in Usenix Security 2002 . The SQL Slammer worm was the first observed example of a Warhol worm. The mechanism of SQL Slammer s spread used a pseudo random number generator seeded from a system variable to determine which IP address es to attack next. In spite of deficiencies in its implementation, the randomized attack was highly effective. According to a Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis CAIDA coordinated analysis of the SQL Slammer outbreak, its growth followed an exponential growth exponential curve with a doubling time of 8.5 seconds in the early phases of the attack, which was only slowed by the collapse of many networks because of the denial of service caused by SQL Slammer s traffic. 90 of all vulnerable machines were infected within 10 minutes, showing that the original estimate for infection speed was roughly correct.

  1. Type Stable Memory Management

    Multiple issues orphan February 2012 cleanup December 2007 no footnotes December 2007 Type Stable Memory Management refers to the concept of maintaining type between memory allocation and deallocation. This idea is extremely useful in constructing non blocking synchronization algorithms. The below image describes an algorithm detailing the use of type stable memory TSM allocation for the implementation of a non blocking link list modification. Image with unknown copyright status removed Image algorithm.gif Without the use of type stable memory, the pointer p may incorrectly point to something of a different type. In languages like C or C , an invalid pointer may cause all sorts of undefined behavior. The use of TSM has greatly simplified the construction of such an algorithm .
