Real-Time Multistage Attack Awareness Through Enhanced Intrusion Alert Clustering: Correlation and fusion of intrusion alerts to provide effective Situation Awareness of cyber-attacks has become an active area of research. Snort is the most widely deployed intrusion detection sensor. For many networks and their system administrators, the alerts generated by Snort are the primary indicators of network misuse and attacker...; Tags: Snort, Clustering, University At Buffalo, Intrusion, Intrusion Detection, Network Security, Security, Viruses And Worms, Networking; White papers 2007-12-01
SpyCon: Emulating User Activities to Detect Evasive Spyware: The success of any spyware is determined by its ability to evade detection. Although traditional detection methodologies employing signature and anomaly based systems have had reasonable success, new class of spyware programs emerge which blend in with user activities to avoid detection. One of the latest anti-spyware technologies consists of...; Tags: Author, University At Buffalo, Spyware, Spyware, Adware & Malware, Cyberthreats, Viruses And Worms, Data Mining, Security, Enterprise Software, Software, Data Management; White papers 2007-02-14
On the Hardness of Minimum Cost Blocking Attacks on Multi-Path Wireless Routing Protocols: This paper demonstrates the provable superiority of multi-path routing protocols over other conventional protocols against blocking, node-isolation and network-partitioning type-attacks in Wireless Mesh Networks WMNs by emulating adversarial behavior. Though the underlying network model is of a WMN with mobile nodes, the results in this paper are equally applicable to...; Tags: Network, University At Buffalo, Attack, Wi-Fi, Wireless; White papers 2006-08-29

Because of the high costs of supercomputers, the...; Tags: Processor, Linux, Dell Computer Corp., Bioinformatics, University At Buffalo, Intel Corp., Healthcare; Case studies
Snowboarding in New York State: A GIS Case Study: This case study provides a realistic scenario to introduce and reinforce concepts presented in introductory level geography courses, particularly in cartography and in human, physical, or environmental geography. The case study describes a scenario in which a land developer is looking to purchase an existing New York State ski area...; Tags: Resort, University At Buffalo, Analysis, Case Study, Transportation, GIS, Software; Case studies
SWAN: A Secure Wireless LAN Architecture: Existing Wireless LAN WLAN security schemes are few and product specific. While there exist some schemes for Information Integrity related problems, there are few standard solutions for Quality of Service and Network Health Maintenance related problems in Wireless Networks. This paper proposes an architecture model for Secure WLANs that is...; Tags: Network, WLAN, University At Buffalo, LANs, Wireless LANs, Wi-Fi, Wireless, Networking; White papers

Your computer as your singing coach: Israeli researchers have developed an electronic ear to coach vibrato technique. Until now, the quality of a vibrato -- the pulsating change of pitch in a singer's voice -- could only be judged by voice experts. Now, a Tel Aviv University research team 'has successfully managed to train a computer...; Tags: Researcher, Quality, Teacher, Computer, TAU, Productivity, Team Management, Management, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2008-07-05
Calling all auto engineers: this is an emergency: They're even talking about it on the radio now--can Detroit automakers survive? If you listened to this show on NPR the future of Chrysler is south of bleak. Ford and GM may just be bigger and have more blood to lose.
