+ | ====== DDoS Attack using Google-bots ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | 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/ | ||

- | To date a promising functional application has been developed in JAVA by a Computer Science student as a 4080 project. The existing software allows the user to draw a path diagram and outputs code for the R package sem. There are a number of improvements to be made (refinements and additions to graphical user interface) and then the application needs to be extended to output syntax appropriate for additional software applications (openMX, MPlus and EQS). Though this project may not begin at “the first stages” of the software lifecycle, this scenario is likely common in the software development market. In addition, the student will be working with a primary “client” who is far less technically advanced, which is also reflective of real-world situations. | + | ======Real-Time Bidding Platform====== |

- | distance errors in registration are known, but for some surgical | + | |

- | + | ||
- | **Supervisor**: | + | |
- | + | ||
- | **Description**: | + | |
- | navigation systems. A typical pointer has a tracked target on one | + | |
- | end and a sharp or ball tip on the other end. Finding the location | + | |
- | of the tip relative to the target is a calibration problem. One | + | |
- | solution to the calibration problem involves pivoting the pointer | + | |
- | about the tip while tracking the target; if the tip is kept | + | |
- | stationary, then the target moves on the surface of a sphere. | + | |
- | Fitting the tracking data to the surface of a sphere yields the | + | |
- | location of the tip as the sphere center. Unfortunately, | + | |
- | calibrated tip position obtained using such a spherical calibration | + | |
- | has high variance. This project will investigate how much variance | + | |
- | there is in the calibrated tip position, and methods for reducing | + | |
- | the variance of the calibrated tip position. | + | |
