It is too early to judge whether this time off influenced the configuration of political forces. But we can confidently say that the working style of parliamentarians has remained unchanged. O When MPs were sent on holiday in mid-April (although supporters of such breaks insist on calling them "work in constituencies and committees"), the ability of Parliament to make any major decisions was non-existent. People’s representatives consistently failed to make any progress on several important issues: the appointment of auditors to NABU, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau, a new law on the Constitutional Court and amendments to the widely criticised Savchenko Law on amnesty for wide categories of convicted criminals. The current sixth session of the Rada will end in mid-July. Then Parliament can break up again, this time until September. During the time that remains, there will only be four weeks of sessions UNIAN PHOTO: for voting, the first of which is already underway. #6 (112) June 2017 | THE UKRAINIAN WEEK 6 | BRIEFING | The first days in the Rada showed that it is hardly chamber.

  • A Case Study in DNS Poisoning
    A wrinkle in time: A case study in DNS poisoning Harel Berger Amit Z. Dvir Moti Geva Abstract—The Domain Name System (DNS) provides a trans- lation between readable domain names and IP addresses. The DNS is a key infrastructure component of the Internet and a prime target for a variety of attacks. One of the most significant threat to the DNS’s wellbeing is a DNS poisoning attack, in which the DNS responses are maliciously replaced, or poisoned, by an attacker. To identify this kind of attack, we start by an analysis of different kinds of response times. We present an analysis of typical and atypical response times, while differentiating between the different levels of DNS servers’ response times, from root servers down to internal caching servers. We successfully identify empirical DNS poisoning attacks based on a novel method for DNS response timing analysis. We then present a system we developed to validate our technique that does not require any changes to the DNS protocol or any existing network equipment. Our validation system tested data from different architectures including LAN and cloud environments and real data from an Internet Service Provider (ISP). Our method and system differ from most other DNS poisoning detection methods and achieved high detection rates exceeding 99%. These findings suggest that when used in conjunction with other methods, they can considerably enhance the accuracy of these methods. I. INTRODUCTION Fig. 1. DNS hierarchy example The Domain Name System (DNS) [1], [2] is one of the best known protocols in the Internet. Its main function is to trans- late human-readable domain names into their corresponding following steps.

Vamshi Krishna Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Narasaraopet Engineering College, Narasaraopet, Guntur, India Article DOI: https://doi.org/10.36713/epra5902 ABSTRACT Due to the rapid growth and use of Emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Internet of Things, Information industry became so popular, meanwhile these Emerging technologies have brought lot of impact on human lives and internet network equipment has increased. This increment of internet network equipment may bring some serious security issues. A botnet is a number of Internet-connected devices, each of which is running one or more bots.The main aim of botnet is to infect connected devices and use their resource for automated tasks and generally they remain hidden. Botnets can be used to perform Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, steal data, send spam, and allow the attacker to access the device and its connection. In this paper we are going to address the advanced Botnet detection techniques using Machine Learning. Traditional botnet detection uses manual analysis and blacklist, and the efficiency is very low. Applying machine learning to batch automatic detection of botnets can greatly improve the efficiency of detection. Using machine learning to detect botnets, we need to collect network traffic and extract traffic characteristics, and then use X-Means, SVM algorithm to detect botnets.

To give my reader a full understanding of the issue, I will begin by explaining the history of the Internet, give a definition of both cyber-crime and cyber-warfare, and then explain how they have impacted the Internet. I will also give examples of a few Chinese hacker groups, and what kind of attacks they have successfully carried out. Then I will talk about how recent attacks have become more sophisticated which are capable of causing more damage. I would also like to discuss how the cyber-warfare has impacted Chinese-US relations, and how it has an impact on the economic ties. Because of the currently capability and potential threat, I will explain why cyber-crime and cyber-warfare are so important to monitor because of the potential damage current and future attacks can cause. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ......................................................................................... iii Chapter 1 Introduction ................................................................................................. 1 History of the Internet ...................................................................................................... 1 Chapter 2 Cyber-crime – Functions and Capabilities .................................................
