The number of people accessing online services is increasing day by day, and with new users, comes a greater need for effective and responsive cyber-security. Our goal in this study was to find out if there are common patterns within the…

Deauthentication is an important component of any authentication system. The widespread use of computing devices in daily life has underscored the need for zero-effort deauthentication schemes. However, the quest for eliminating user effort…

Code protections aim at blocking (or at least delaying) reverse engineering and tampering attacks to critical assets within programs. Knowing the way hackers understand protected code and perform attacks is important to achieve a stronger…

Phishing attacks are one of the most common social engineering attacks targeting users emails to fraudulently steal confidential and sensitive information. They can be used as a part of more massive attacks launched to gain a foothold in…

Reverse engineering has been a standard practice in the hardware community for some time. It has only been within the last ten years that reverse engineering, or "program comprehension", has grown into the current sub-discipline of software…

Recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in the domain of large language models (LLMs), has resulted in powerful and versatile dual-use systems. This intelligence can be put towards a wide variety of beneficial tasks,…

With rise in security breaches over the past few years, there has been an increasing need to mine insights from social media platforms to raise alerts of possible attacks in an attempt to defend conflict during competition. We use…

Social media has enabled users and organizations to obtain information about technology usage like software usage and even security feature usage. However, on the dark side it has also allowed an adversary to potentially exploit the users…

Developments in artificial intelligence (AI) are likely to affect social engineering and change cyber defense operations. The broad and sweeping nature of AI impact means that many aspects of social engineering could be automated,…

These days, software development and security go hand in hand. Numerous techniques and strategies are discussed in the literature that can be applied to guarantee the incorporation of security into the software development process. In this…

Phishing is a major cyber threat to organizations that can cause financial and reputational damage, threatening their existence. The technical measures against phishing should be complemented by awareness training for employees. However,…

Information security is the protection of information from a wide range of threats in order to ensure success business continuity by minimizing risks and maximizing the return of investments and business opportunities. In this paper, we…

Crypters are pieces of software whose main goal is to transform a target binary so it can avoid detection from Anti Viruses (AVs from now on) applications. They work similar to packers, by taking a malware binary and applying a series of…

Social psychology researchers have, traditionally, focused on the construct of thinking rather than on feeling. Since the beginning of the 21st century, social science researchers have, however, increasingly explored the effects of affect.…

While there is a large body of work on analyzing concurrency related software bugs and developing techniques for detecting and patching them, little attention has been given to concurrency related security vulnerabilities. The two are…

Recent high-profile cyber attacks exemplify why organizations need better cyber defenses. Cyber threats are hard to accurately predict because attackers usually try to mask their traces. However, they often discuss exploits and techniques…

Security, privacy, and fairness have become critical in the era of data science and machine learning. More and more we see that achieving universally secure, private, and fair systems is practically impossible. We have seen for example how…

Thanks to the advance of technology, all kinds of applications are becoming more complete and capable of performing complex tasks that save much of our time. But to perform these tasks, applications require that some personal information…

Malware is a security threat, and various means are adapted to detect and block them. In this paper, we demonstrate a method where malware can evade malware analysis. The method is based on single-step reverse execution of code using the…

The current pandemic situation has increased cyber-attacks drastically worldwide. The attackers are using malware like trojans, spyware, rootkits, worms, ransomware heavily. Ransomware is the most notorious malware, yet we did not have any…
