Anomaly detection identifies worm-infected hosts by their behavior as a scanner. To spread, a worm virus must find new hosts. It finds them by scanning the
Internet using TCP, UDP, and other protocols to generate unsuccessful attempts to access different destination IP addresses. A scanner is defined as a source IP
address that generates events on the same destination port (in TCP and UDP) for too many destination IP addresses.
