An easy-to-implement form of the Metropolis Algorithm is described which, unlike most standard techniques, is well suited to sampling from multi-modal distributions on spaces with moderate numbers of dimensions (order ten) in environments…

Investigating efficiently the data collected from a system's activity can help to detect malicious attempts and better understand the context behind past incident occurrences. Nowadays, several solutions can be used to monitor system…

The lack of reliable sources of detailed information on the vulnerabilities of open-source software (OSS) components is a major obstacle to maintaining a secure software supply chain and an effective vulnerability management process.…

This work evaluates a novel structured method for reporting crime and registering crime scene data by comparing the method with traditional text-based crime reports. Swedish law enforcement officers were asked to register a residential…

Malware analysis is still largely a manual task. This slow and inefficient approach does not scale to the exponential rise in the rate of new unique malware generated. Hence, automating the process as much as possible becomes desirable. In…

Big Data processing systems handle huge unstructured and structured data to store, process, and analyze through cluster analysis which helps in identifying unseen patterns to find the relationships between them. Clustering analysis over the…

IT-security experts engage in behavior-based malware analysis in order to learn about previously unknown samples of malicious software (malware) or malware families. For this, they need to find and categorize suspicious patterns from large…

Traffic analysis is a type of attack on secure communications systems, in which the adversary extracts useful patterns and information from the observed traffic. This paper improves and extends an efficient traffic analysis attack, called…

Providing security for information is highly critical in the current era with devices enabled with smart technology, where assuming a day without the internet is highly impossible. Fast internet at a cheaper price, not only made…

While humans can extract information from unstructured text with high precision and recall, this is often too time-consuming to be practical. Automated approaches, on the other hand, produce nearly-immediate results, but may not be reliable…

Clustering is an essential data mining tool that aims to discover inherent cluster structure in data. For most applications, applying clustering is only appropriate when cluster structure is present. As such, the study of clusterability,…

Distributed intrustion detection systems detect attacks on computer systems by analyzing data aggregated from distributed sources. The distributed nature of the data sources allows patterns in the data to be seen that might not be…

Malware analysis techniques are divided into static and dynamic analysis. Both techniques can be bypassed by circumvention techniques such as obfuscation. In a series of works, the authors have promoted the use of symbolic executions…

This survey paper offers a thorough analysis of techniques and algorithms used in the identification of crime leaders within criminal networks. For each technique, the paper examines its effectiveness, limitations, potential for…

Nowadays, both the amount of cyberattacks and their sophistication have considerably increased, and their prevention is of concern of most of organizations. Cooperation by means of information sharing is a promising strategy to address this…

Using a dataset of more than 90,000 metal music reviews written by over 9,000 users in a period of 15 years, we analyse the genre structure of metal music with the aid of review text information. We model the relationships between genres…

To ensure the security of the general mass, crime prevention is one of the most higher priorities for any government. An accurate crime prediction model can help the government, law enforcement to prevent violence, detect the criminals in…

Security analysts need to classify, search and correlate numerous images. Automatic classification tools improve the efficiency of such tasks. Many Image-Matching algorithms are presented in the litterature. The present paper introduces and…

In criminal investigations, telecommunication wiretaps have become a common technique used by law enforcement. While phone-based wiretapping is well documented and the procedure for their execution are well known, the same cannot be said…

With the adoption of multiple digital devices in everyday life, the cyber-attack surface has increased. Adversaries are continuously exploring new avenues to exploit them and deploy malware. On the other hand, detection approaches typically…
