DoS: Fighting Fire with Fire
We consider DoS attacks on servers in which attackers’ requests are indistinguishable from legitimate requests. Most current defenses against this class of attack rely on legitimate users in aggregate having more of some resource (CPU cycles, memory cycles, human attention, etc.) than attackers. A server so defended asks prospective clients to prove their legitimacy by spending some of this res...
متن کاملEradication of poliovirus: fighting fire with fire.
Endemic wild polioviruses have been eliminated from most of the world, and the number of human paralytic cases has been reduced by .99%, from an estimated annual incidence of .500,000 cases to ,2000 cases [1–3]. Circulating wild polioviruses remain endemic in only 2 major locations, Nigeria and a zone extending from northern India west to Pakistan and Afghanistan [1–3]. Furthermore, wild-type 2...
متن کاملFighting Fire with Agents
In this paper we propose a model for coordinating teams of computational agents. This model is especially aimed for coordinating agents performing in a simulated environment of forest firefighting, although it may be used in other domains. We will start by introducing the Pyrosim platform where we are carrying out our experiments. Pyrosim is a tool developed in our laboratory that simulates a f...
متن کاملAcute and chronic effects of fire fighting on pulmonary function.
The acute and chronic effects of fire fighting on pulmonary function were studied in 54 fire fighters from Connecticut, 32 smokers and 22 nonsmokers. Baseline studies of maximum expiratory flow-volume curves while breathing air and a mixture of 80 percent helium and 20 percent oxygen revealed obstruction of the small airways in 35 percent (nine) of 26 smokers and 13 percent (two) of 15 nonsmoke...
متن کاملTowards More Efficient Infection and Fire Fighting
The firefighter problem models the situation where an infection, a computer virus, an idea or fire etc. is spreading through a network and the goal is to save as many as possible nodes of the network through targeted vaccinations. The number of nodes that can be vaccinated at a single time-step is typically one, or more generally O(1). In a non-standard model, the so called spreading model, the...
