begood Posted April 14, 2010 Report Posted April 14, 2010 Internet Worms' most important feature is the ability to scan for more vulnerable machines. The first part of the scan is to generate a victim IP address - this can be done through a variety of scanning techniques. A good listing is available in the "scanning section" of this paper. This 2 part video series will discuss the programming of a Sequential, Subnet and Random IP address generator. In this video tutorial we will focus on the Random Scanning pattern - which is simply to generate a random IP address and try to infect it.
