Cyber threats, such as advanced persistent threats (APTs), ransomware, and zero-day exploits, are rapidly evolving and demand improved security measures. Honeypots and honeynets, as deceptive systems, offer valuable insights into attacker…

Internet technology is so pervasive today, for example, from online social networking to online banking, it has made people's lives more comfortable. Due the growth of Internet technology, security threats to systems and networks are…

Social networks offer a ready channel for fake and misleading news to spread and exert influence. This paper examines the performance of different reputation algorithms when applied to a large and statistically significant portion of the…

Social networks seeded, crystallized and structured by large-scale social platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram and WeChat exhibit complicated epistemic structures and dynamics that arise from the nature of…

Online social networks are used frequently by many people: Staying in contact with friends and sharing experiences with them is very important. However, users are increasingly concerned that their data will end up in the hands of strangers…

Electronic bait (honeypots) are network resources whose value consists of being attacked and compromised. These are often computers which do not have a task in the network, but are otherwise indestinguishable from regular computers. Such…

Recent years have seen tremendous growth of many online social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn and MySpace. People connect to each other through these networks forming large social communities providing researchers rich datasets to…

Many proximity-based mobile social networks are developed to facilitate connections between any two people, or to help a user to find people with matched profile within a certain distance. A challenging task in these applications is to…

This paper reviews the Sybil attack in social networks, which has the potential to compromise the whole distributed network. In the Sybil attack, the malicious user claims multiple identities to compromise the network. Sybil attacks can be…

Cyberbullying has been a significant challenge in the digital era world, given the huge number of people, especially adolescents, who use social media platforms to communicate and share information. Some individuals exploit these platforms…

Honeypots are deception systems that emulate vulnerable services to collect threat intelligence. While deploying many honeypots increases the opportunity to observe attacker behaviour, in practise network and computational resources limit…

Online social networks (OSNs) are ubiquitous attracting millions of users all over the world. Being a popular communication media OSNs are exploited in a variety of cyber attacks. In this article, we discuss the Chameleon attack technique,…

Online communities are not safe spaces for user privacy. Even though existing research focuses on creating and improving various content moderation strategies and privacy preserving technologies, platforms hosting online communities support…

Worldwide, a large number of people interact with each other by means of online chatting. There has been a significant rise in the number of platforms, both social and professional, such as WhatsApp, Facebook,and Twitter, which allow people…

Ubiquitous computing allows to make data and services within the reach of users anytime and anywhere. This makes ubiquitous networks vulnerable to attacks coming from either inside or outside the network. To ensure and enhance networks…

The majority of systems rely on user authentication on passwords, but passwords have so many weaknesses and widespread use that easily raise significant security concerns, regardless of their encrypted form. Users hold the same password for…

Web 2.0 systems have drawn the attention of corporation, many of which now seek to adopt Web 2.0 technologies and transfer its benefits to their organizations. However, with the number of different social networking platforms appearing,…

Online user profiling is a very active research field, catalyzing great interest by both scientists and practitioners. In this paper, in particular, we look at approaches able to mine social media activities of users to create a rich user…

Since honeypots first appeared as an advanced network security concept they suffer from poor deployment and maintenance strategies. State-of-the-Art deployment is a manual process in which the honeypot needs to be configured and maintained…

Honeypots are a well-studied defensive measure in network security. This work proposes an effective low-cost honeypot that is easy to deploy and maintain. The honeypot introduced in this work is able to handle commands in a non-standard way…
