Characterizing Certain Dns Ddos Attacks
CHARACTERIZING CERTAIN DNS DDOSATTACKS APREPRINT Renée Burton Cyber Intelligence Infoblox [email protected] July 23, 2019 ABSTRACT This paper details data science research in the area of Cyber Threat Intelligence applied to a specific type of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. We study a DDoS technique prevalent in the Domain Name System (DNS) for which little malware have been recovered. Using data from a globally distributed set of a passive collectors (pDNS), we create a statistical classifier to identify these attacks and then use unsupervised learning to investigate the attack events and the malware that generates them. The first known major study of this technique, we discovered that current attacks have little resemblance to published descriptions and identify several previously unpublished features of the attacks. Through a combination of text and time series features, we are able to characterize the dominant malware and demonstrate that the number of global-scale attack systems is relatively small. 1 Introduction In the field of Cyber Security, there is a rich history of characterizing malicious actors, their mechanisms and victims, through the analysis of recovered malware1 and related event data. Reverse engineers and threat analysts take advantage of the fact that malware developers often unwittingly leave fingerprints in their code through the choice of libraries, variables, infection mechanisms, and other observables. In some cases, the Cyber Security Industry is able to correlate seemingly disparate pieces of information together and attribute malware to specific malicious actors. Identifying a specific technique or actor involved in an attack, allows the Industry to better understand the magnitude of the threat and protect against it. -

Ph.D. Abstract: The spread of smartphone devices, Internet of Things technologies and the popularity of web-services require real-time and always on applications. The aim of this thesis is to identify a suitable communication technology for server and smartphone communication which fulfills the main requirements for transferring real- time data to the handheld devices. For the analysis I selected 3 popular communication technologies that can be used on mobile devices as well as from commonly used browsers. These are client polling, long polling and HTML5 WebSocket. For the assessment I developed an Android application that receives real-time sensor data from a WildFly application server using the aforementioned technologies. Industry specific requirements were selected in order to verify the usability of this communication forms. The first one covers the message size which is relevant because most smartphone users have limited data plan. -

Communication Protocol for Schools
Communication Protocol for Schools Communication plays a key role in creating and fostering strong, positive relationships between the school and the home. Communication is a two-way street; our schools share information with our families and community, and our families share information with our schools. The purpose of this document is to guide, manage and improve school-home communication by offering a standard format, structure and sequence for regular, ongoing communication. Communication Channels Communication can take place in a variety of formats. The message and the purpose of the communication can help determine which format is most appropriate. Generally, the more issues-driven and/or detailed the information is, the more direct the communication channel chosen should be. Communication channels include: Face-to-face communication – one-on-one meetings, School Council meetings, Parent-Student- Teacher interviews Telephone conversations Hard copy, written communication – letters sent home from the school, paper school newsletters Electronic communication – email, electronic newsletters, websites, social media When the communication requires a dialogue, such as bringing forward a question or concern or when a discussion is required on a particular topic, the preferred channels of communication are ones that allow for an immediate and ongoing interaction between the people involved. The best formats for this kind of communication are face-to-face conversations or telephone conversations. Schools and families are encouraged to use these direct channels of communication when a topic is complex or requires a dialogue. These more direct forms of communication also help us establish a personal connection, which helps build relationships that we don’t get in other forms of communication. -

Implementing OGC Web Map Service Client Applications Using JSP, JSTL and XMLC
Implementing OGC Web Map Service Client Applications Using JSP, JSTL and XMLC Hao Ding , Richard Pascoe & Neville Churcher Department of Computer Science University of Canterbury. Christchurch, New Zealand Phone: +64 3 364-2362 Fax: +64 3 364-2569 Email: [email protected] , {richard, neville}@cosc.canterbury.ac.nz Presented at SIRC 2002 – The 14th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand th December 3-5 2002 ABSTRACT Java technologies are widely used in web application development. In this paper are described three approaches to developing Java-based web applications and our experiences with applying each to the development of client that interact with servers implementing the OGC (Open GIS Consortium) Web Map Service (WMS) specification. Also described is the installation and configuration of open source software that implements the WMS specification. The paper is concluded with some preliminary insights into when one of the three approaches to WMS client implementation is more suited to another. Keywords and phrases: WMS, JSP, JSTL, XMLC, map layer, web map server 1.0 INTRODUCTION Of the many technologies, such as Common Gateway Interface (CGI), Active Server Pages (ASP), JavaServer Pages (JSP), that are used to develop web applications, three are of particular interest to the research presented here. These three technologies or approaches to developing clients that utilise web services are JavaServer Pages (JSP), JSP with the use of tags from the JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL), and the eXtensible Markup Language Compiler (XMLC). JSP is a more convenient way to write Java servlets, and allows the insertion of Java code directly into static HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) pages. -

For Due to its digital nature it is easy to operate on this protocol. conferencing T.120 protocol is used [3]-[4]. Index Terms: MGCP, Packet, QoS, SIP I. INTRODUCTION Voice over Internet Protocol also known as Voice over IP and VoIP is a communication standard for transmission of voice signal, data transmission and video conferencing. Actually this technology follow packet switching. In packet switching first the input signal (voice, data, video) converted into digital form so other operation becomes simple after this we do encoding, compressing of digital data to make more secure transmission through channel. Then after this we transmit the signal over the channel. At receiver side we do reverse of it but it also require an addition block before receiver to store packets and reorder these packets because in packet switching different Figure 1: Call flow of H.323 packets follow different path so reaches in random manner. -
