Adapting Novelty Towards Generating Antigens for Antivirus Systems

It is well known that anti-malware scanners depend on malware signatures to identify malware. However, even minor modifications to malware code structure results in a change in the malware signature thus enabling the variant to evade detection by scanners. Therefore, there exists the need for a...

Co-Evolutionary Defence of Active Directory Attack Graphs Via GNN-Approximated Dynamic Programming

Modern enterprise networks increasingly rely on Active Directory AD for identity and access management. However, this centralization exposes a single point of failure, allowing adversaries to compromise high-value assets. Existing AD defense approaches often assume static attacker behavior, but...

A Systematic Study on the Design of Odd-Sized Highly Nonlinear Boolean Functions Via Evolutionary Algorithms

This paper focuses on the problem of evolving Boolean functions of odd sizes with high nonlinearity, a property of cryptographic relevance. Despite its simple formulation, this problem turns out to be remarkably difficult. We perform a systematic evaluation by considering three solution encodings...

New Wave of JSOutProx Malware Targeting Financial Firms in APAC and MENA

Financial organizations in the Asia-Pacific APAC and Middle East and North Africa MENA are being targeted by a new version of an "evolving threat" called JSOutProx. "JSOutProx is a sophisticated attack framework utilizing both JavaScript and .NET," Resecurity said in a technical report published...

Friday Squid Blogging: Squid Can Edit Their RNA

This is just crazy: Scientists dont yet know for sure why octopuses, and other shell-less cephalopods including squid and cuttlefish, are such prolific editors. Researchers are debating whether this form of genetic editing gave cephalopods an evolutionary leg or tentacle up or whether the editing...

Friday Squid Blogging: When the Octopus and Squid Lost Their Shells

Cephalopod ancestors once had shells. When did they lose them? With the molecular clock technique, which allowed him to use DNA to map out the evolutionary history of the cephalopods, he found that today's cuttlefish, squids and octopuses began to appear 160 to 100 million years ago, during the...

Simplifying Security Configuration: A UX Revamp Retrospective

With the March 2019 Release update, the Security Configuration User Interface UI evolution is now complete, and we hope it integrates more seamlessly into your online business. Over time, Akamai has added new products, features, and functionality to its security solutions to protect your web...

Friday Squid Blogging: Do Cephalopods Contain Alien DNA?

Maybe not DNA, but biological somethings. "Cause of Cambrian explosion -- Terrestrial or Cosmic?": Abstract: We review the salient evidence consistent with or predicted by the Hoyle-Wickramasinghe H-W thesis of Cometary Cosmic Biology. Much of this physical and biological evidence is...

CERT Basic Fuzzing Framework: BFF

CERT Basic Fuzzing Framework The CERT Basic Fuzzing Framework BFF is a software testing tool that finds defects in applications that run on the Linux and Mac OS X platforms. BFF performs mutational fuzzing on software that consumes file input. Mutational fuzzing is the act of taking well-formed...

Choronzon - An Evolutionary Knowledge-Based Fuzzer

An evolutionary knowledge-based fuzzer Introduction This document aims to explain in brief the theory behind Choronzon . Moreover, it provides details about its internals and how one can extend Choronzon to meet new requirements. An overview of the architecture of Choronzon was initially presente...

Evolutionary Knowledge Based Fuzzer: Choronzon

Evolutionary Knowledge Based Fuzzer Choronzon is an evolutionary fuzzer. It tries to imitate the evolutionary process in order to keep producing better results. To achieve this, it has an evaluation system to classify which of the fuzzed files are interesting and which should be dropped. Moreover...

New Bounty Programs – One Week In

Two weeks ago, Microsoft made an important evolutionary step in our work with the security community when we announced our first-ever bounty programs for security issues. One week ago, the Windows 8.1 Preview and Internet Explorer 11 Preview became available for download, and the doors officially...
