The highlight of worm outbreaks in 2004 was a new phenomenon called 'War of the Worms' between NetSky, Bagle and MyDoom worm variants. Their aftermaths caused the record-high of 12 outbreaks in first quarter alone. This war created complex interactions among worms. This paper tries to answer following questions: how much does this scenario affect individual worm propagation, how can one worm win this war, how do other factors such as mobility and protocol affect worm interaction and how can one use worms as a defense mechanism.
