Abstract
Malware infection in a wireless sensor network (WSN) can represent a potential vulnerability due to the low level of security that these networks exhibit. Consequently, it is very important to study the behavior of the propagation of malware in a WSN. This work aims to design a novel agent-based model to simulate malware spreading. It will provide an efficient software of great help for security administrators.
