Exposing Potential Privacy Issues With Ipv6 Address Construction, Clinton Carpene, Andrew Woodward
Australian Information Security Management Conference
The usage of 128 bit addresses with hexadecimal representation in IPv6 poses significant potential privacy issues. This paper discusses the means of allocating IPv6 addresses, along with the implications each method may have upon privacy in different usage scenarios. The division of address space amongst the global registries in a hierarchal fashion can provide geographical information about the location of an address, and its originating device. Many IPv6 address configuration methods are available, including DHCPv6, SLAAC (with or without privacy extensions), and Manual assignment. These assignment techniques are dissected to expose the identifying characteristics of each technique. It is seen …

Active Malware Analysis Using Stochastic Games, Simon Williamson, Pradeep Reddy Varakantham, Debin Gao, Chen Hui Ong
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Cyber security is increasingly important for defending computer systems from loss of privacy or unauthorised use. One important aspect is threat analysis - how does an attacker infiltrate a system and what do they want once they are inside. This paper considers the problem of Active Malware Analysis, where we learn about the human or software intruder by actively interacting with it with the goal of learning about its behaviours and intentions, whilst at the same time that intruder may be trying to avoid detection or showing those behaviours and intentions. This game-theoretic active learning is then used to obtain …
A Survey Of Computer And Network Security Support From Computer Retailers To Consumers In Australia, Patryk Szewczyk
A Survey Of Computer And Network Security Support From Computer Retailers To Consumers In Australia, Patryk Szewczyk
Australian Information Security Management Conference
Previously undertaken research suggests that novice end-users rely on computer retailers for security advice and support during and after a sale has occurred. This paper documents the survey results of computer and network security support provided to consumers by retailers in Perth, Western Australia between 2011 and 2012. The conducted survey shows that in the majority of cases, computers retailers were favourable in providing support and recommendations. However, these views were found to be flawed, confusing and do little to ensure that end-users are not victimized by cyber crime.
