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 ...
Secure mobile distributed file system (MDFS)
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2011-03)
The goal of this research is to provide a way for frontline troops to securely store and exchange sensitive information on a network of mobile devices with resiliency. The first portion of the thesis is the design of a ...
Message prioritization for routing in a DTN environment
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2011-03)
Networks have become an integral part of life today. However, connectivity problems arise in rural areas or battlefields where wired networks do not exist and wireless networks have limited coverage. In this regime, ...
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 ...
A real-time system for abusive network traffic detection
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2011-03)
Abusive network traffic--to include unsolicited e-mail, malware propagation, and denial-of-service attacks--remains a constant problem in the Internet. Despite extensive research in, and subsequent deployment of, abusive-traffic ...
Real-time speaker detection for user-device binding
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2010-12)
This thesis explores the accuracy and utility of a framework for recognizing a speaker by his or her voice called the Modular Audio Recognition Framework (MARF). Accuracy was tested with respect to the MIT Mobile Speaker ...
