SoK: Reshaping Research on Network Intrusion Detection Systems

Network Intrusion Detection Systems NIDS have been studied for decades. Hundreds of papers have, e.g., proposed ways to enhance, harden or bypass NIDS. However, the findings of prior literature are hardly reflected in real-world operational contexts. Such a disconnection is problematic for resear...

SoK: Potentials and Challenges of Large Language Models for Reverse Engineering

Reverse Engineering RE is central to software security, enabling tasks such as vulnerability discovery and malware analysis, but it remains labor-intensive and requires substantial expertise. Earlier advances in deep learning start to automate parts of RE, particularly for malware detection and...

Backdoor Attacks and Defenses in Computer Vision Domain: a Survey

Backdoor trojan attacks embed hidden, controllable behaviors into machine-learning models so that models behave normally on benign inputs but produce attacker-chosen outputs when a trigger is present. This survey reviews the rapidly growing literature on backdoor attacks and defenses in the...
