The number of active users of Wi-Fi Direct Device-to-Device file sharing applications on Android has exceeded 1.8 billion. Wi-Fi Direct, also known as Wi-Fi P2P, is commonly used for peer-to-peer, high-speed file transfer between mobile…

Vulnerability is a weakness, shortcoming or flaw in the system or network infrastructure which can be used by an attacker to harm the system, disrupt its normal operation and use it for his financial, competitive or other motives or just…

Dependency management systems are a critical component in software development, enabling projects to incorporate existing functionality efficiently. However, misconfigurations and malicious actors in these systems pose severe security…

The proliferation of vulnerable Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices has enabled large-scale cyberattacks. Solutions like Hestia and HomeSnitch have failed to comprehensively address IoT security needs. This research evaluates if Wireguard, an…

Securely sharing and managing personal content is a challenging task in multi-device environments. In this paper, we design and implement a new platform called Personal Content Networking (PCN). Our work is inspired by Content-Centric…

Increased connectivity has made us all more vulnerable. Cyberspace, besides all its benefits, spawned more devices to hack and more opportunities to commit cybercrime. Criminals have found it lucrative to target both individuals and…

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are a crucial Privacy-Enhancing Technology (PET) leveraged by millions of users and catered by multiple VPN providers worldwide; thus, understanding the user preferences for the choice of VPN apps should be…

VPN are a secured tunnel that help service providers to exchange data over non-secured networks. There is a large variety of VPN solutions that have variable deployment impacts on the target architecture as well as performance limitations…

In most split-tunnel VPN/ZTNA deployments, installing an internal route authorizes the entire device, not a specific application, to use it. An unprivileged malicious process can therefore reach internal services by reusing routes intended…

Internet of Things (IoT) devices are becoming increasingly important. These devices are often resource-limited, hindering rigorous enforcement of security policies. Assessing the vulnerability of IoT devices is an important problem, but…

Enterprise Networks are growing in scale and complexity, with heterogeneous connected assets needing to be secured in different ways. Nevertheless, virtually all connected assets use the Domain Name System (DNS) for address resolution, and…

High availability is no longer just a business continuity concern. Users are increasingly dependant on devices that consume and produce data in ever increasing volumes. A popular solution is to have a central repository which each device…

The increase in popularity of connected features in intelligent transportation systems, has led to a greater risk of cyber-attacks and subsequently, requires a more robust validation of cybersecurity in vehicle design. This article explores…

Computers and computer networks have become integral to virtually every aspect of modern life, with the Internet playing an indispensable role. Organizations, businesses, and individuals now store vast amounts of proprietary, confidential,…

Centralized Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) when used in distributed systems have performance constraints as all traffic must traverse through a central server. In recent years, there has been a paradigm shift towards the use of P2P in VPNs…

Virtual switches have become popular among cloud operating systems to interconnect virtual machines in a more flexible manner. However, this paper demonstrates that virtual switches introduce new attack surfaces in cloud setups, whose…
