As Internet of Things (IoT) technology grows, so does the threat of malwareinfections. A proposed countermeasure, the use of benevolent "white worms" tocombat malicious "black worms", presents unique ethical and practicalchallenges. This study examines these issues via network epidemiology modelsand simulations, considering the propagation dynamics of both types of worms invarious network topologies. Our findings highlight the critical role of therate at which white worms activate themselves, relative to the user's systemupdate rate, as well as the impact of the network structure on wormpropagation. The results point to the potential of white worms as an effectivecountermeasure, while underscoring the ethical and practical complexitiesinherent in their deployment.
