Billions of wireless devices are foreseen to participate in big data aggregation and smart automation in order to interface the cyber and physical worlds. Such large-scale ultra-dense wireless connectivity is vulnerable to malicious…
The ubiquity of portable wireless-enabled computing and communications devices has stimulated the emergence of malicious codes (wireless worms) that are capable of spreading between spatially proximal devices. The potential exists for worms…
A dramatic increase in the number of computing devices with wireless communication capability has resulted in the emergence of a new class of computer worms which specifically target such devices. The most striking feature of these worms is…
Wireless networks are commonly used in public spaces, universities and public institutions and provide accurate and easily accessible information to monitor the mobility and behavior of users. Following the application of containment…
We unveil the existence of a vulnerability in Wi-Fi, which allows an adversary to remotely launch a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack that propagates both in time and space. This vulnerability stems from a coupling effect induced by hidden…
Random walk is one of the basic mechanisms found in many network applications. We study the epidemic spreading dynamics driven by biased random walks on complex networks. In our epidemic model, each time infected nodes constantly spread…
This paper describes about how you can secure your Wireless Network from hackers about various threats to wireless networks, How hackers makes most use of it and what are the security steps one should take to avoid becoming victim of such…
As wireless systems grow rapidly worldwide, one of the most important things, wireless systems designers and service providers faces is interference. Interference decreases coverage, capacity [1], and limits the effectiveness of both new…
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have become widely used in various fields like environmental monitoring, smart agriculture, and health care. However, their extensive usage also introduces significant vulnerabilities to cyber viruses.…
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is an emerging technology now-a-days and has a wide range of applications such as battlefield surveillance, traffic surveillance, forest fire detection, flood detection etc. But wireless sensor networks are…
Most infectious diseases spread on a dynamic network of human interactions. Recent studies of social dynamics have provided evidence that spreading patterns may depend strongly on detailed micro-dynamics of the social system. We have…
We study how the spread of computer viruses, worms, and other self-replicating malware is affected by the logical topology of the network over which they propagate. We consider a model in which each host can be in one of 3 possible states -…
We explore the security of residential routers and find a range of critical vulnerabilities. Our evaluations show that 10 out of 36 popular routers are vulnerable to injections of fake records via misinterpretation of special characters. We…
WiFi offloading has emerged as a key component of cellular operator strategy to meet the data needs of rich, mobile devices. As such, mobile devices tend to aggressively seek out WiFi in order to provide improved user Quality of Experience…
The rapid proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in recent years has resulted in a significant surge in the number of cyber-attacks targeting these devices. Recent data indicates that the number of such attacks has increased by…
The study of social networks, and in particular the spread of disease on networks, has attracted considerable recent attention in the physics community. In this paper, we show that a large class of standard epidemiological models, the…
In this paper we study the household-structure SIS epidemic spreading on general complex networks. The household structure gives us the way to distinguish inner and the outer infection rate. Unlike household-structure models on homogenous…
The wireless network technology WiFi finds more and more applications in the industrial field as for the exchange of information between the people or the equipment. It has the advantage of allowing a great flexibility of the network but…
In the past few decades, the frequency of pandemics has been increased due to the growth of urbanization and mobility among countries. Since a disease spreading in one country could become a pandemic with a potential worldwide humanitarian…
With the proliferation of wireless networks, mobile devices and medical devices are increasingly being equipped with wireless interfaces, such as Bluetooth and WiFi to allow easy access to and control of the medical devices. Unfortunately,…
