ABSTRACT:: 
The Internet has become an essential part of normal operations of both
public and private sectors. Many security issues are not addressed in
the original Internet design, and security now has become a large
concern for networking research and study. There is an imperative need
to have an simulation environment that can be used to help study
security-related research problems. In the thesis we present our
effort to build such an environment: Real-time Immersive Network
Simulation Environment (RINSE). RINSE features flexible configuration
of models using various networking protocols and real-time user
interaction. We also present the Estimate Next Infection (ENI) model
we developed for Internet scanning worms using RINSE, and the effort
of combining multiple resolutions in worm modeling.
