"War of the worms" is a war between opposing computer worms, creating complex worm interactions. We propose a new Worm Interaction Model focusing on random-scan worm interactions. We validate our worm interaction model using extensive ns-2 simulations. This study provides the first work to characterize and investigate multiple worm interactions of random-scan worms in multi-hop networks. The main finding of this study is that maximum number of infected hosts can be drastically affected by the type of interaction.
