  • Analyse De Maliciels Sur Android Par L'analyse De La Mémoire Vive
    Analyse de maliciels sur Android par l’analyse de la mémoire vive Mémoire Bernard Lebel Maîtrise en informatique Maître ès sciences (M. Sc.) Québec, Canada © Bernard Lebel, 2018 Analyse de maliciels sur Android par l’analyse de la mémoire vive Mémoire Bernard Lebel Sous la direction de: Mohamed Mejri, directeur de recherche Résumé Les plateformes mobiles font partie intégrante du quotidien. Leur flexibilité a permis aux développeurs d’applications d’y proposer des applications de toutes sortes : productivité, jeux, messageries, etc. Devenues des outils connectés d’agrégation d’informations personnelles et professionnelles, ces plateformes sont perçues comme un écosystème lucratif par les concepteurs de maliciels. Android est un système d’exploitation libre de Google visant le marché des appareils mobiles et est l’une des cibles de ces attaques, en partie grâce à la popularité de celui- ci. Dans la mesure où les maliciels Android constituent une menace pour les consommateurs, il est essentiel que la recherche visant l’analyse de maliciels s’intéresse spécifiquement à cette plateforme mobile. Le travail réalisé dans le cadre de cette maîtrise s’est intéressé à cette problématique, et plus spécifiquement par l’analyse de la mémoire vive. À cette fin, il a fallu s’intéresser aux tendances actuelles en matière de maliciels sur Android et les approches d’analyses statiques et dynamiques présentes dans la littérature. Il a été, par la suite, proposé d’explorer l’analyse de la mémoire vive appliquée à l’analyse de maliciels comme un complément aux approches actuelles. Afin de démontrer l’intérêt de l’approche pour la plateforme Android, une étude de cas a été réalisée où un maliciel expérimental a été conçu pour exprimer les comportements malicieux problématiques pour la plupart des approches relevées dans la littérature.

  • Ting Mobile Announces New Network Service Provider Agreement and Provides Updated Financial Guidance
    Ting Mobile Announces New Network Service Provider Agreement and Provides Updated Financial Guidance TORONTO, July 9, 2019 – Tucows Inc. (NASDAQ:TCX, TSX:TC), a provider of network access, domain names and other Internet services today announced that Ting Mobile, an MVNO phone service provider and a division of Tucows, will be adding service over the Verizon network to its product offerings later this year. Verizon has the highest level of LTE coverage of any mobile provider in the US and is routinely rated as the best nationwide cellular network for video experience and data performance. “We expect that combining the best-rated cellular network in the US with Ting’s award-winning customer service will further enhance our already very compelling offering,” said Tucows CEO, Elliot Noss. Ting Mobile also extended its network provision agreement with Sprint through September 2020. At the same time, Ting Mobile has informed T-Mobile it will not renew its agreement effective December 19 of this year. This will begin a migration away from the T-Mobile network to be completed by December 19, 2020. Ting Mobile will work with customers currently using the T- Mobile network to migrate to Ting Mobile’s other network options, including Verizon. Ting customers will be eligible to use the Verizon network following integration with the Verizon system, which we expect to be completed by the end of the year. While Tucows believes that these are positive changes for Ting Mobile for the long term, a sizeable customer migration does come with short-term costs. For this reason, as well as the previously disclosed underperformance in the mobile business, which unexpectedly persisted, Tucows is updating its 2019 cash EBITDA1 guidance to $52 million from the previously provided $62 million.

  • Case Study How Scorebuddy Is Being Used to Implement Change at Tucows
    Case Study How Scorebuddy is being used to implement change at Tucows Tucows Inc. is a publicly traded Internet services and telecommunications company, headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is the second-largest domain registrar worldwide and operates Hover, eNom, and OpenSRS, platforms for domain resellers. Over 40,000 web hosts, Internet service providers and Web companies encompass the OpenSRS/Enom wholesale platform managing domain names, email addresses and digital security products for millions of end users worldwide. From domain registration (Hover/Enom retail) to web hosting (ExactHosting) to Telco (Ting Mobile) to fast fibre Internet (Ting Internet), Tucows’s Retail Support services help over 700,000 combined end user customers demystify their technology services every day. We asked Tucows’s Senior team about their Quality Assurance programs. Here is what they told us. Why did you start assessing quality? Since inception, quality management was organic and instinctive for Tucows. The way we worked with each other internally and with end users created a coaching culture. This made it easy to maintain our very high standards when retail support began with one brand. Years later and after explosive growth, the amount of staff in our locations around the world created challenges to maintaining quality, and our now varied business lines have added even more staff. All this made us think deeply about optimal behaviours that go into creating great customer experiences. Using Scorebuddy helped us break-down and quantify those approaches that accounted for our initial awesomeness, so we can continue to teach staff how to do it on purpose instead of by luck.

Reports Financial Results For The Fourth Quarter Of 2008 TORONTO, February 9, 2009 — Tucows Inc., (AMEX:TCX, TSX:TC) a global provider of domain names, email and other Internet services, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter 2008 ended December 31, 2008. All figures are in U.S. dollars. "During the fourth quarter, our strong competitive position continued to drive both new registration and renewal domain transaction volumes inside of our OpenSRS wholesale services business, contributing to year-over-year growth in revenue," said Elliot Noss, President and CEO of Tucows. "While we benefited from the sale of our equity stake in Afilias during the quarter, cash flow from operations was negatively impacted by the timing of payables, as well as one-time restructuring costs." Mr. Noss continued, "The domain name component of our OpenSRS Wholesale business is exhibiting solid growth, especially relative to the rest of the domain name market. Our launches of Hover, Butterscotch.com and YummyNames in 2008 have set the stage for us to grow each of these units in 2009. "With our email migration, employee downsizing and more favorable Canadian dollar environment, combined with our recurring revenue model based on high-volume, low-cost transactions, we will produce solid cash flow from operations, which will support our share repurchase programs and generate value for our shareholders." Summary Financial Results (Numbers in Thousands of US Dollars, Except Per Share Data) Three Months Ended Dec.

  • Thesis (844.6Kb)
    ABSTRACT You Should Have Expected Us – An Explanation of Anonymous Alex Gray Director: Linda Adams; PhD Anonymous is a decentralized activist collective that has evolved using the technology of the information age. This paper traces its origins as a way of contextualizing and better understanding its actions. The groups composition is examined using its self‐ascribed imagery to illustrate its’ unique culture and relational norms. Its structure and motivation are analyzed using the framework developed for social movements and terrorist networks. Finally a discussion of a splinter cell and official reaction delineate both strengths and weaknesses of the movement while suggesting its future development. The conclusion serves to expound on the ideal end for the online anonymous community as a new frontier in meritocratic activism.
