IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security
Conficker [34] is the most recent widespread, wellknown worm/bot. According to several reports [21] , [36] , it has infected about 7 million to 15 million hosts and the victims are still increasing even now. In this paper, we analyze Conficker infections at a large scale, about 25 millions victims, and study various interesting aspects about this state-of-the-art malware. By analyzing Conficker, we intend to understand current and new trends in malware propagation, which could be very helpful
