Embedded systems permeate through nearly all aspects of modern society. From cars to refrigerators to nuclear refineries, securing these systems has never been more important. Intrusions, such as the Stuxnet malware which broke the…

In the past decade, the cyber-crime related to mobile devices has increased. Mobile devices, especially the ones running on Android operating system are particularly interesting to malware creators, as the users often keep the biggest…

Cyber-physical microgrids are vulnerable to rootkit attacks that manipulate system dynamics to create instabilities in the network. Rootkits tend to hide their access level within microgrid system components to launch sudden attacks that…

Machine-learning models have been recently used for detecting malicious Android applications, reporting impressive performances on benchmark datasets, even when trained only on features statically extracted from the application, such as…

New computing paradigms, modern feature-rich programming languages and off-the-shelf software libraries enabled the development of new sophisticated malware families. Evidence of this phenomena is the recent growth of fileless malware…

The ever increasing volume of data in digital forensic investigation is one of the most discussed challenges in the field. Usually, most of the file artefacts on seized devices are not pertinent to the investigation. Manually retrieving…

Memory was captured from a system infected by ransomware and its contents was examined using live forensic tools, with the intent of identifying the symmetric encryption keys being used. NotPetya, Bad Rabbit and Phobos hybrid ransomware…

Rootkits are among the most elusive types of malware, capable of bypassing traditional static analysis methods due to their metamorphic behavior. Signature-based detection techniques struggle against these threats, necessitating a shift…

Nowadays, many tools are used to facilitate forensic tasks about data extraction and data analysis. In particular, some tools leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) to automatically label examined data into specific categories (\ie, drugs,…

Anti-forensics includes a growing set of techniques designed to obstruct forensic analysis. While cybercriminals increasingly rely on these methods, they also help researchers identify and remedy weaknesses in forensic tools, advancing the…

Analysing malware is important to understand how malicious software works and to develop appropriate detection and prevention methods. Dynamic analysis can overcome evasion techniques commonly used to bypass static analysis and provide…

Real-time video surveillance systems store recorded video using digital video recorders (DVRs) and network video recorders (NVRs). To support continuous high-volume video storage, these devices employ specialized, nonstandard file systems…

Android is the predominant mobile operating system for the past few years. The prevalence of devices that can be powered by Android magnetized not merely application developers but also malware developers with criminal intention to design…

This paper delves into the dynamic landscape of computer security, where malware poses a paramount threat. Our focus is a riveting exploration of the recent and promising hardware-based malware detection approaches. Leveraging hardware…

Embedded controllers, sensors, actuators, advanced metering infrastructure, etc. are cornerstone components of cyber-physical energy systems such as microgrids (MGs). Harnessing their monitoring and control functionalities, sophisticated…

We address multimodal deepfake detection requiring both robustness and interpretability by proposing FakeHunter, a unified framework that combines memory guided retrieval, a structured Observation-Thought-Action reasoning loop, and adaptive…

Memory-related vulnerabilities constitute severe threats to the security of modern software. Despite the success of deep learning-based approaches to generic vulnerability detection, they are still limited by the underutilization of flow…

Although Rust ensures memory safety by default, it also permits the use of unsafe code, which can introduce memory safety vulnerabilities if misused. Unfortunately, existing tools for detecting memory bugs in Rust typically exhibit limited…

In dynamic malware analysis, programs are classified as malware or benign based on their execution logs. We propose a concept of applying monotonic classification models to the analysis process, to make the trained model's predictions…

A rising number of botnet families have been successfully detected using deep learning architectures. While the variety of attacks increases, these architectures should become more robust against attacks. They have been proven to be very…
