+ | ====== DDoS Attack using Google-bots ====== | ||
- | ====== Building | + | Project Outline: |
+ | Not long ago, botnets - networks of compromised computers - were seen as | ||
+ | the most effective (if not the only) means of conducting Distributed Denial | ||
+ | of Service (DDoS) attacks. However, with the growing popularity and prevalence | ||
+ | of application-layer over other types of DDoS attacks, the DDoS execution | ||
+ | landscape is becoming increasingly more diverse. An especially interesting | ||
+ | new trend is the execution of application-layer DDoS attacks by means of | ||
+ | skillfully manipulated Web-crawlers, | ||
+ | The goal of this project is to design, implement and test a real-world | ||
+ | framework consisting of the following: a) the attacker' | ||
+ | domain specially designed to attract Google-bots and then manipulate them | ||
+ | into generating attack traffic towards the target/ | ||
+ | victim' | ||
+ | component, the project will also look into the statistical/ | ||
+ | estimation of the framework' | ||
+ | to an actual (real-world) target/ | ||

+ | ====== Attentive Sensing for Better Two-Way Communication in Remote Learning Environments ====== | ||
- | __Description__ | + | **Supervisor**: |
- | An opportunity exists for a small number of students to build an autonomous motorboat using a RC motorboat as a base and integrating computation and control in the form of a Beagleboard. Students will participate in lectures and labs associated with CSE6324 (Part I). Interested students should attend the first lecture of CSE6324. See the departmental schedule for time and place. | + | |
+ | **Required Background**: | ||
+ | good math skills, knowledge of C and MATLAB programming languages | ||
+ | One of the challenges in remote learning is to allow students to communicate effectively with the lecturer. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The goal of this project is to apply attentive sensing technology (www.elderlab.yorku.ca) to this problem. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In particular, working with a senior graduate student or postdoctoral fellow, the successful applicant will: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Study the problem of detecting hand-raises in the preattentive sensor stream | ||
+ | - Implement algorithms for detecting hand-raises based upon this investigation | ||
+ | - Evaluate these algorithms in a real-classroom setting, using proprietary attentive sensing technology | ||

+ | The goal of this project is to modify York University’s patented attentive sensor technology to the sport video recording market. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The general problem is to use attentive sensing technology (www.elderlab.yorku.ca) to visually detect and track multiple moving agents (e.g., skiers, riders, horses) and to select specific agents for active high-resolution smooth pursuit. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The student will work with senior graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and research scientists to help modify the attentive sensing technology to operate in these domains. | ||

- | __Description__ | + | **Project Description:** |
- | DNA sequences of organisms have many repeated substrings. These are called repeats in Biology, and include both exact as well as approximate repeats. Repeats are of two main types: interspersed repeats (which are spread across a genome) and tandem repeats, which occur next to each other. Tandem repeats play important roles in gene regulation and are also used as markers that have several important uses, including human identity testing. | + | |
- | Finding tandem repeats is an important problem in Computational Biology. The techniques that have been proposed | + | Model-based design with code generation tools can be used for simulation, rapid prototyping, and hardware-in-the-loop testing |
- | The student will implement existing spectral algorithms based on Fourier Transforms and on an autoregressive model. He will then make changes suggested by the supervisor, and evaluate the effect of the modifications. Throughout the course, the student is required to maintain a course Web site to report any progress and details about the project. | + | \\ |
