We examine the case of several attackers seeking victims in a large population where there is some prior statistic indicating likely viablility. We show that collisions reduce attacker gains: the sum of what several attackers can extract is always less than what a single attacker would extract alone. The problem gets worse as the density of victims in the population decreases.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/small-world-collisions-among-attackers-in-a-finite-population/}, journal = {WEIS}, }
