Breached data refers to the unauthorized access, theft, or exposure of confidential or sensitive information. Breaches typically occur when malicious actors or unauthorized users breach secure systems or networks, resulting in compromised…
Credential theft and remote attacks are the most serious threats to user authentication mechanisms. The crux of these problems is that we cannot control such behaviors. However, if a password does not contain user secrets, stealing it is…
Timekeeping is a fundamental component of modern computing; however, the security of system time remains an overlooked attack surface, leaving critical systems vulnerable to manipulation.
Pushback is a mechanism for defending against Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. DDoS attacks are treated as a congestion-control problem, but because most such congestion is caused by malicious hosts not obeying traditional…
The security of a computer system depends on OS kernel protection. It is crucial to reveal and inspect new attacks on kernel data, as these are used by hackers. The purpose of this paper is to continue research into attacks on dynamically…
Recent cyber-attacks on power grids highlight the necessity to protect the critical functionalities of a control center vital for the safe operation of a grid. Even in a distributed framework one central control center acts as a coordinator…
Attacks in cyberspace have got attention due to risk at privacy, breach of trust and financial losses for individuals as well as organizations. In recent years, these attacks have become more complex to analyze technically, as well as to…
In this work, we propose a testbed environment to capture the attack strategies of an adversary carrying out a cyber-attack on an enterprise network. The testbed contains nodes with known security vulnerabilities which can be exploited by…
Protecting system observability records (logs) from compromised OSs has gained significant traction in recent times, with several note-worthy approaches proposed. Unfortunately, none of the proposed approaches achieve high performance with…
Wireless networks act as the backbone of modern digital connectivity, making them a primary target for cyber adversaries. Rogue Access Point attacks, specifically the Evil Twin variant, enable attackers to clone legitimate wireless network…
The email system is the central battleground against phishing and social engineering attacks, and yet email providers still face key challenges to authenticate incoming emails. As a result, attackers can apply spoofing techniques to…
Operational network data, management data such as customer care call logs and equipment system logs, is a very important source of information for network operators to detect problems in their networks. Unfortunately, there is lack of…
Today, large amounts of data are being continuously produced, collected, and exchanged between systems. As the number of devices, systems and data produced grows up, the risk of security breaches increases. This is all the more relevant in…
Network penetration testing identifies the exploits and vulnerabilities those exist within computer network infrastructure and help to confirm the security measures. The objective of this paper is to explain methodology and methods behind…
Authenticated lateral movement via compromised accounts is a common adversarial maneuver that is challenging to discover with signature- or rules-based intrusion detection systems. In this work a behavior-based approach to detecting…
Speaker verification systems have been widely used in smart phones and Internet of things devices to identify legitimate users. In recent work, it has been shown that adversarial attacks, such as FAKEBOB, can work effectively against…
Internet resources form the basic fabric of the digital society. They provide the fundamental platform for digital services and assets, e.g., for critical infrastructures, financial services, government. Whoever controls that fabric…
We study a general scenario where confidential information is distributed among a group of agents who wish to share it in such a way that the data becomes common knowledge among them but an eavesdropper intercepting their communications…
Vehicular ad-hoc networks, where traffic information is distributed from many sources to many destinations, require data authentication mechanisms to detect any malicious behavior of users, such as modification or replay attacks. In this…
Facing the rapid growth in the issuance of financial tickets (or bills, invoices etc.), traditional manual invoice reimbursement and financial accounting system are imposing an increasing burden on financial accountants and consuming…
