  • Auditing Overhead, Auditing Adaptation, and Benchmark Evaluation in Linux Lei Zeng1, Yang Xiao1* and Hui Chen2
    SECURITY AND COMMUNICATION NETWORKS Security Comm. Networks 2015; 8:3523–3534 Published online 4 June 2015 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com). DOI: 10.1002/sec.1277 RESEARCH ARTICLE Auditing overhead, auditing adaptation, and benchmark evaluation in Linux Lei Zeng1, Yang Xiao1* and Hui Chen2 1 Department of Computer Science, The University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa 35487-0290, AL, U.S.A. 2 Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Virginia State University, Petersburg 23806, VA, U.S.A. ABSTRACT Logging is a critical component of Linux auditing. However, our experiments indicate that the logging overhead can be significant. The paper aims to leverage the performance overhead introduced by Linux audit framework under various us- age patterns. The study on the problem leads to an adaptive audit-logging mechanism. Many security incidents or other im- portant events are often accompanied with precursory events. We identify important precursory events – the vital signs of system activity and the audit events that must be recorded. We then design an adaptive auditing mechanism that increases or reduces the type of events collected and the frequency of events collected based upon the online analysis of the vital-sign events. The adaptive auditing mechanism reduces the overall system overhead and achieves a similar level of protection on the system and network security. We further adopt LMbench to evaluate the performance of key operations in Linux with compliance to four security standards. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The object can be stated this way: Live the best life you can. Life is a game whose rules you learn if you leap into it and play it to the hilt. Otherwise, you are caught off balance, continually surprised by the shifting play. Non-players often whine and complain that luck always passes them by. They refuse to see that they can create some of their own luck. Darwi Odrade - Chapterhouse: Dune" Frank Herbert (\Lim´ıtatea observar y siempre perder´asel sentido de tu vida. Se puede poner de esta manera: Vive la mejor vida que puedas. La vida es un juego cuyas reglas aprendes si saltas a ella y la juegas a fondo. De lo contrario, te encontrar´asen una inestabilidad constante, sorprendi´endote continuamente de los cambios del juego. Quienes no juegan, a menudo se quejan de que la suerte les pasa por al lado.

  • An Emulation Framework for Wireless Mesh Networks in Omnet++
    VIRTUALMESH:AN EMULATION FRAMEWORK FOR WIRELESS MESH NETWORKS IN OMNET++ Master Thesis of the Philosophical-scientific Faculty of the University of Bern written by Reto Gantenbein 2010 Supervisors: Professor Dr. Torsten Braun Thomas Staub Institute of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics Abstract Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) have proven to be an important technology for interconnect- ing computer systems in a flexible way. There exist many application areas that profit from WMN technologies such as surveillance and monitoring systems, the wireless integration of mobile clients into a network infrastructure or simply the spontaneous setup of a network for data exchange between several mobile devices. The development process for new protocols and architectures in the area of WMN is typically split into a first implementation and evaluation phase performed with help of a network simulation, followed by a real-world prototype im- plementation, which is tested in a realistic test-bed. Especially for WMNs including wireless communication and mobile clients, the testing in a real test-bed is time-consuming and expen- sive. External interferences can occur and make debugging and performance evaluation difficult. Additionally, real-world test-beds usually only support a limited number of test topologies and wireless clients and rarely provide the possibility for repeatable experiments with mobile clients. For this reason, we developed VirtualMesh, a new WMN evaluation framework providing a virtual wireless network, which can be used for network protocol and application development before considering a real hardware test-bed. Its architecture offers the testing of real communi- cation software including the operating system with the original network stack in a controlled environment.

  • Locks and Raspberries: a Comparative Study of Single-Board Computers for Access Control
    UPTEC F 16013 Examensarbete 30 hp April 2016 Locks and raspberries: a comparative study of single-board computers for access control Andreas Romin Abstract Locks and raspberries: a comparative study of single-board computers for access control Andreas Romin Teknisk- naturvetenskaplig fakultet UTH-enheten Over the past decade, there has been a drastic development of the single-board computer market. These computers are now in a position where they can compete Besöksadress: with classic embedded hardware. Such fast improvement has led ASSA ABLOY, a Ångströmlaboratoriet Lägerhyddsvägen 1 well-known lock and security company, to see value in replacing some of their Hus 4, Plan 0 existing access control hardware with an off-the-shelf single-board computer. Therefore, a comparative study of single-board computers was performed for this Postadress: company. Some of the compared properties were price, performance (i.e. CPU, Box 536 751 21 Uppsala memory, USB, network, operating temperature and power consumption) and other relevant information such as operating systems, open/closed source hardware and Telefon: future availability. Information and testing data from nine different computers was 018 – 471 30 03 compiled and analyzed. This data was then used to determine the best-suited Telefax: candidates that could possibly replace the current access control hardware. They 018 – 471 30 00 were chosen in accordance to three different categories: performance, power consumption and open source hardware. The ODROID C1+, the Raspberry Pi A+ Hemsida: and the A20 OLinuXino Lime2 proved to be the best candidates for these three http://www.teknat.uu.se/student categories respectively. Furthermore, it was also concluded that the company behind a computer is just as important as the computer itself, where the best company in this study was determined to be Olimex.
