Enhancing intrusion detection via an active target host. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Abimbola, A., Munoz, J., & Buchanan, W. J. (2006). Enhancing intrusion detection via an active target host. In IEEE ICTe Africa 2006

Over the past decade, there have been increases in network attacks. These attacks are typically at-tempts to compromise the integrity, confidentiality or availability of networked resources. In other to reduce these attacks, Intrusion Detection Syste... Read More about Enhancing intrusion detection via an active target host..

A framework to detect novel computer viruses via system calls. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Abimbola, A., Munoz, J., & Buchanan, W. J. (2006, December). A framework to detect novel computer viruses via system calls. Presented at 7th Annual PG Symposium on The Convergence of Telecommunications, Networking and Broadcasting

This paper describes a framework for detecting self-propagating email viruses based on deterministic system calls derived from associated email client’s dynamic link libraries (DLLs). Our research approach is based on the principle that a key objecti... Read More about A framework to detect novel computer viruses via system calls..

Agent-based systems for Ad-hoc routing. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buchanan, W. J., Migas, N., & McArtney, K. (2006). Agent-based systems for Ad-hoc routing.

Provides a foundation in agent-based systems for Ad-hoc routing.

Investigating false positive reduction in HTTP via procedure analysis. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Abimbola, A., Munoz, J., & Buchanan, W. J. (2006). Investigating false positive reduction in HTTP via procedure analysis. . https://doi.org/10.1109/ICNS.2006.65

This paper focuses on high false-positive rate of attacks. First, the merits and demerits of research work in curbing false positive rate of attacks in intrusion detection systems (IDSs) are discussed. Then we present our research efforts in the form...

Performance analysis of network based forensic systems for in-line and out-of-line detection and logging. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Graves, J., Buchanan, W. J., Saliou, L., & Old, L. J. (2006). Performance analysis of network based forensic systems for in-line and out-of-line detection and logging.

Network based forensic investigations often rely on data provided by properly configured network- based devices. The logs from interconnected devices such as routers, servers and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) can yield important information, whi...

Analysis of Firewall Performance Variation to Identify the Limits of Automated Network Reconfigurations. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Saliou, L., Buchanan, W. J., Graves, J., & Munoz, J. (2006). Analysis of Firewall Performance Variation to Identify the Limits of Automated Network Reconfigurations. In W. Hutchinson (Ed.),

Security in computer networks is typically passive, static, and reactive. This is typically due to most networking devices being rule-based, and when updates are necessary, they are normally done manually. Ultimately, the social and hierarchical stru...

An auto-configurable, and, adaptable, metric-driven cluster-head organisation for hybrid multi-hop routing (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Migas, N., & Buchanan, W. (2006, March). An auto-configurable, and, adaptable, metric-driven cluster-head organisation for hybrid multi-hop routing. Presented at 13th Annual IEEE International Symposium and Workshop on Engineering of Computer-Based Systems (ECBS'06)

Multi-hop ad-hoc routing is a challenging issue, because of the dynamic network topology, and limited capabilities of resource-constrained mobile devices. This paper proposes a metric-driven clustering organisation of participating nodes which provid...
