Implementing Software Lab At Hackathons, Istvan Gates
Implementing Software Lab At Hackathons, Istvan Gates
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
Hackathons are events where groups of college students have 24 hours to build up a any project, using Computer Science and Electrical Engineering skillsets. These events are typically hosted on college campuses, and attract over 200 students per event. Each student brings 2 devices - their phone, and their laptop. That means that 400 devices are connected to a University venue's Internet network, commonly overloading it. Software Lab alleviates this overloading by providing an abstracted NAS node network for events. Software Lab guarantees speeds of at least 100 mbits/s, and provides a 8-10x improvement on download speeds over the common …

UBT International Conference
With the advancement of technology and the raising of massive amount of data, the used techniques for data security are continually a challenge. This paper contributes on identifying the gaps and evaluating security level on web portals hosted or managed by Republic of Kosovo institutions or businesses, whose data privacy and security could be a big business concern. The results have been obtained from real case scenario, where 25 security researchers have contributed in white hack activities. These activities, were part of a one day conference called. “The DAY when hacking is legal”, held in Pristine.
A Novel Defense Mechanism Against Web Crawler Intrusion, Alireza Aghamohammadi
A Novel Defense Mechanism Against Web Crawler Intrusion, Alireza Aghamohammadi
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
Web robots also known as crawlers or spiders are used by search engines, hackers and spammers to gather information about web pages. Timely detection and prevention of unwanted crawlers increases privacy and security of websites. In this research, a novel method to identify web crawlers is proposed to prevent unwanted crawler to access websites. The proposed method suggests a five-factor identification process to detect unwanted crawlers. This study provides the pretest and posttest results along with a systematic evaluation of web pages with the proposed identification technique versus web pages without the proposed identification process. An experiment was performed with …

A Study Of Rootkit Stealth Techniques And Associated Detection Methods, Daniel D. Nerenberg
Theses and Dissertations
In today's world of advanced computing power at the fingertips of any user, we must constantly think of computer security. Information is power and this power is had within our computer systems. If we cannot trust the information within our computer systems then we cannot properly wield the power that comes from such information. Rootkits are software programs that are designed to develop and maintain an environment in which malware may hide on a computer system after successful compromise of that computer system. Rootkits cut at the very foundation of the trust that we put in our information and subsequent …

Journal of Digital Forensics, Security and Law
Rapid development of information technology (IT) has brought with it many new applications such as e-commerce and global business. The past few years have seen activities in the legislative arena covering issues such as digital signatures, the international recognition of electronic documents and privacy and data protection. Both the developed and developing countries have exhibited keenness to embrace the IT environment. Securing this electronic environment from intrusion, however, continues to be problematic. A particular favorite form of computer crime would be ‘hacking’. As more computer systems move on to on-line processing and improved telecommunications, computer hackers are now a real …

Ip Traceback Of Denial Of Service Attacks Using Mobile Agents Technology, Ghada Magdi Hashem El-Keissi
Archived Theses and Dissertations
Denial of Service (DoS) attack is considered a critical threat to networks. A DoS is a destructive attack aiming at denying services to legitimate users. An attacker could create an attack that floods a network, disrupts a connection between two computers, or even crashes a computer. Accordingly, legitimate users will not be able to have access to services needed. DoS attacks could originate from a single attacker or it could originate from multiple attackers creating Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks towards a target victim. One of the main problems ofDoS attacks is the ability of an attacker to forge …
