Malware For Macintosh, Nathan C. Shinabarger, Josiah E. Bills, Richard W. Lively, Noah S. Shinabarger

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

Technology is a cornerstone of modern society. Unfortunately, it seems that every new piece of technology is accompanied by five computer-security breaches elsewhere. Most people associate hacks with Windows computers. This is a problem because Apple computers, and other non-Windows systems, are also extremely vulnerable to attacks and risk being compromised. Dolos is a piece of malware we developed intended to exploit the macOS Sierra operating system. It provides a framework for running exploits and comes built in with certain control and data exfiltration capabilities. Dolos also helps destroy the misconception of "the impenetrable Macintosh computer" by showing that Apple …


Networks - Ii: A Survey Of Data Management Issues & Frameworks For Mobile Ad Hoc Networks, Noman Islam, Zubair A. Shaikh Jul 2011

Networks - Ii: A Survey Of Data Management Issues & Frameworks For Mobile Ad Hoc Networks, Noman Islam, Zubair A. Shaikh

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

Data Management is the execution of a pool of activities on a set of data to conform to the end user data requisitions. MANET is an emerging discipline of computer networks in which a group of roaming hosts spontaneously establishes the network among themselves. The employment of data management in MANET can engender a number of useful applications. However, data management in MANET is a taxing job as it requires deliberation on a number of research issues (e.g. knowledge representation, knowledge discovery, caching, and security etc.). This paper provides a detailed account of the data management problem and its issues, …


Wireless Networks: Improved Secure Network Authentication Protocol (Isnap) For Ieee 802.16, Raheel M. Hashmi, Arooj M. Siddiqui, M. Jabeen, K. Shehzad, A. Zubair, K. S. Alimgeer Aug 2009

Wireless Networks: Improved Secure Network Authentication Protocol (Isnap) For Ieee 802.16, Raheel M. Hashmi, Arooj M. Siddiqui, M. Jabeen, K. Shehzad, A. Zubair, K. S. Alimgeer

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

Security is amongst one of the major issues in broadband wireless access (BWA) networks. After the launch of the IEEE 802.16 standard (WiMAX), a number of security issues were reported in several articles. Ever since the beginning, work has been in progress for the neutralization of these identified threats. In this paper, the analysis of the authentication protocols implemented in WiMAX has been presented along with the description of the threats posed to them. The paper also describes security sub-layer and limitations of the existing architecture. An approach has also been presented for the prevention of these threats like the …
