Hi all- I think I have found a formula to approximate the number of infected hosts. My formula is ([(Number of Infected Hosts * Number CR Queries p/ Day) / Total IPs on the Internet ]^-1) / Average IP Requests p/ Host So what I would need to know to figure out the approximate number of infected hosts: *How many IPs CR can check in a day (Number CR Queries p/ Day) *Average Number of times people are checked during a set period, probably 5:00a-5:00p (Average IP Requests p/ Host) Does anyone see any big flaws in this (I know it isn't perfect) formula that would keep it from being within a reasonable margin of error? -- Regards, N ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
