Fingerprinting reverse proxies using timing analysis of TCP flows
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2013-09)
Reverse proxy servers are valuable assets to defend outside hosts from seeing the internal network structure upon which the reverse proxy is serving. They are frequently used to protect valuable files, systems, and internal ...
IPV6 alias resolution via induced router fragmentation
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2013-06)
IPv4 addresses are a scarce resource with available allocations nearing exhaustion. DoD and government agencies were mandated to transition to IPv6 for greater security and flexibility. The transition to IPv6 faces a series ...
A Technique for Presenting a Deceptive Dynamic Network Topology
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2013-03)
Adversaries scan Department of Defense networks looking for vulnerabilities that allow surveillance or the embedding of destructive malware weapons. In cyberspace, adversaries either actively probe or passively observe ...
MalWebID_Autodetection and Identification of Malicious Web Hosts Through Live Traffic Analysis
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2013-03)
This thesis investigates the ability for recently devised packet-level Transmission Control Protocols (TCP) transport classifiers to discover abusive traffic flows, especially those not found via traditional methods, e.g., ...
Transport Traffic Analysis for Abusive Infrastructure Characterization
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2012-09)
This thesis investigates a novel approach to identifying discriminating features of communications involving abusive hosts. The technique uses per-packet TCP header and timing features to identify congestion, flow-control, ...
The Unexplored Impact of IPv6 on Intrusion Detection Systems
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2012-03)
With DoD networks steadily adopting and transitioning to the next generation Internet Protocol, IPv6, careful consideration
must be given to IPv6-specific implications on network protection. While Network Intrusion Detection ...
A cyberciege traffic analysis extension for teaching network security
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2011-12)
CyberCIEGE is an interactive game simulating realistic scenarios that teaches the players Information Assurance (IA) concepts. The existing game scenarios only provide a high-level abstraction of the networked environment, ...
Residual network data structures in Android devices
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2011-09)
The emergence and recent ubiquity of Smartphones present new opportunities and challenges to forensic examiners. Smartphones enable new mobile application and use paradigms by being constantly attached to the Internet via ...
Clandestine transmissions and operations of embedded software on cellular mobile devices
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2011-09)
In this thesis, we develop a method to offload data in a clandestine fashion from an Android cellular mobile device. Due to the Short Message Service (SMS) message system's reliability and widespread availability, it is ...
Authorship attribution of short messages using multimodal features
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2011-03)
In this thesis, we develop a multimodal classifier for authorship attribution of short messages. Standard natural language processing authorship attribution techniques are applied to a Twitter text corpus. Using character ...
