Hiding in Plain Sight: A Longitudinal Study of Combosquatting Abuse. Presented at 2017 ACM SIGSAC Conference on Computer and Communications Security, Dallas, Texas, USA

Domain squatting is a common adversarial practice where attackers register domain names that are purposefully similar to popular domains. In this work, we study a specific type of domain squatting called "combosquatting," in which attackers register...

Using stable isotopes to assess the distribution of reproduction by migratory and resident Salmo trutta within river systems: some complicating factors (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Briers, R., Campbell, R., Galt, K., Walters, M., & Holmes, J. (2015, October). Using stable isotopes to assess the distribution of reproduction by migratory and resident Salmo trutta within river systems: some complicating factors. Presented at Second International Sea Trout Symposium

Understanding the distribution of spawning resident and migratory trout in a river system is important for fishery management. In most cases this information is lacking or only partial, and mostly derived from surveys of breeding adults. Stable isoto...
