Phishing attacks trick victims into disclosing sensitive information. To counter rapidly evolving attacks, we must explore machine learning and deep learning models leveraging large-scale data. We discuss models built on different kinds of…
Every attack begins with gathering information about the target. The entry point for network breaches are often vulnerabilities in internet facing websites, which often rely on an off-the-shelf Content Management System (CMS). Bot networks…
Phishing attacks are the most common type of cyber-attacks used to obtain sensitive information and have been affecting individuals as well as organisations across the globe. Various techniques have been proposed to identify the phishing…
Many methods have been developed to secure the network infrastructure and communication over the Internet. Intrusion detection is a relatively new addition to such techniques. Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are used to find out if…
In India many people are now dependent on online banking. This raises security concerns as the banking websites are forged and fraud can be committed by identity theft. These forged websites are called as Phishing websites and created by…
Recent changes in standards and regulations, driven by the increasing importance of software systems in meeting societal needs, mandate increased security testing of software systems. Penetration testing has been shown to be a reliable…
The pervasive nature of software vulnerabilities has emerged as a primary factor for the surge in cyberattacks. Traditional vulnerability detection methods, including rule-based, signature-based, manual review, static, and dynamic analysis,…
Attackers have developed ever more sophisticated and intelligent ways to hack information and communication technology systems. The extent of damage an individual hacker can carry out upon infiltrating a system is well understood. A…
Published experiments on spidering the Web suggest that, given training data in the form of a (relatively small) subgraph of the Web containing a subset of a selected class of target pages, it is possible to conduct a directed search and…
Phishing is the most prevalent type of cyber-attack today and is recognized as the leading source of data breaches with significant consequences for both individuals and corporations. Web-based phishing attacks are the most frequent with…
Penetration testing is a well-established practical concept for the identification of potentially exploitable security weaknesses and an important component of a security audit. Providing a holistic security assessment for networks…
Browser fingerprinting is a stateless identification technique based on browser properties. Together, they form an identifier that can be collected without users' notice and has been studied to be unique and stable. As this technique relies…
In the face of large-scale automated social engineering attacks to large online services, fast detection and remediation of compromised accounts are crucial to limit the spread of new attacks and to mitigate the overall damage to users,…
Firewalls are critical components in securing communication networks by screening all incoming (and occasionally exiting) data packets. Filtering is carried out by comparing incoming data packets to a set of rules designed to prevent…
Embedded devices are becoming more widespread, interconnected, and web-enabled than ever. However, recent studies showed that these devices are far from being secure. Moreover, many embedded systems rely on web interfaces for user…
With more and more existing networks being transformed to Software-Defined Networking (SDN), they need to be more secure and demand smarter ways of traffic control. This work, SmartSecChain-SDN, is a platform that combines machine learning…
We propose a method for using Web Authentication APIs for SSH authentication, enabling passwordless remote server login with passkeys. These are credentials that are managed throughout the key lifecycle by an authenticator on behalf of the…
Intrusion detection is a long standing and crucial problem in security. A system capable of detecting intrusions automatically is on great demand in enterprise security solutions. Existing solutions rely heavily on hand-crafted rules…
Modern browsers give access to several attributes that can be collected to form a browser fingerprint. Although browser fingerprints have primarily been studied as a web tracking tool, they can contribute to improve the current state of web…
Firewall configuration is critical, yet often conducted manually with inevitable errors, leaving networks vulnerable to cyber attack [40]. The impact of misconfigured firewalls can be catastrophic in Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition…
