Abstract

The more commonly the Internet is used among the nations in the world, the more diversified is the way of cyber attacks. This fact implies that it is more difficult for the network administrators to develop generic countermeasures against various kinds of cyber attacks and malwares. Therefore, network theoretic classification of cyber attacks may play so important roles in constructing versatile countermeasures in the future. In this paper, network theoretic comparison of several cyber attacks with each other is discussed for the purpose of deriving the way of developing the generic conutermeasures against diversified malicious use of network theoretic skills.
