Creating Synthetic Attacks with Evolutionary Algorithms for Proactive Defense of Industrial Control Systems
(HICSS, 2023)
Industrial control systems (ICS) play an important role in critical infrastructure. Cybersecurity defenders can use honeypots (decoy systems) to capture and study malicious ICS traffic. A problem with existing ICS honeypots ...
Understanding of Navy Technical Language via Statistical Parsing
(Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey CA, 2004)
A key problem in indexing technical information is the interpretation of technical words and word senses, expressions not used in everyday language. This is important for captions on technical images, whose often pithy ...

Creating Effective Industrial-Control-System Honeypots
(HICSS, 2020)
Cyberattacks on industrial control systems (ICSs) can be especially damaging since they often target critical infrastructure. Honeypots are valuable network-defense tools, but they are difficult to implement for ICSs because ...
Identifying Anomalous Network Flow Activity Using Cloud-Based Honeypots
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-10); NPS-CS-20-003
This work addressed efficient and effective implementation of honeypots (decoy devices) in cloud services. Honeypots are essential tools for detecting new attacks on computers and networks, and cloud services are distributed ...
Privacy Concerns with Digital Forensics
(IGI Global, 2016)
Machine Learning for Analysis of Naval Aviator Training
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-10); NPS-CS-20-002
This project investigated patterns in the training data of Navy aviators in an attempt to predict their success in training. With the help of the sponsor, we assembled a database from many sources of training data. This ...
Challenges of civilian distinction in cyberwarfare
(Springer, 2017)
Avoiding attacks on civilian targets during cyberwarfare is more difficult than it seems. We discuss ways in which an ostensibly military cyberattack could accidentally hit a civilian target. Civilian targets are easier ...
Efficient Parallel Information Filtering
(Center for Advanced Concepts and Technology, 1996-06)
Opportunities frequently arise in command and control for identical information filtering operations to be performed on data items geographicallyorchronologicallydispersed. For instance, in monitoring a frontier we may be ...
