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..

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, June). Analysis of Firewall Performance Variation to Identify the Limits of Automated Network Reconfigurations. Presented at 5th European Conference on Information Warfare and Security

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...

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, June). Performance analysis of network based forensic systems for in-line and out-of-line detection and logging. Presented at 5th European Conference on Information Warfare and Security (ECIW)

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...
