Worms & Self-Propagating
Network and USB worm outbreak analysis with propagation mapping, infection path reconstruction, and reinfection-prevention controls.
Self-propagating malware can collapse segmented defenses through credential reuse, removable media spread, and vulnerable service exploitation.
Process
Scope triage, evidence handling, and malicious behavior decomposition using controlled lab procedures.
Deliverables
IOC manifest, timeline analysis, capability mapping, and remediation playbook tuned to your environment.
Pricing guide
Most engagements range from $1,000 to $25,000 depending on malware complexity, urgency, and reporting depth.
When to engage this service
- Multiple subnets report synchronized suspicious binaries or scheduled tasks.
- USB devices are repeatedly linked to re-infection cycles.
- Containment teams need propagation map and blast-radius estimation fast.
Operational workflow
Propagation mapping
Model infection chain by subnet, endpoint role, and time sequence to identify patient-zero candidates.
Transmission control
Prioritize removable media restrictions, blocked ports/protocols, and domain isolation actions.
Eradication validation
Run post-containment sweeps to verify persistence elimination and account hygiene.
Expected outputs
- Outbreak heatmap with likely spread vectors.
- Immediate containment runbook with owner-by-owner tasks.
- Reinfection prevention controls for AD, EDR, and network policy.
