Network Vulnerability Assessment:

Adaptivity requires at least frequent, and ideally real-time, updates and also requires the ability to analyze, respond and reconfigure. Such network management flexibility requires several types of information and capabilities, which include response of the network to node failure, reachability of nodes, and boundary control. The first issue determines how the network will respond to a "proble...

Towards Automated Vulnerability Assessment

Vulnerability assessment (VA) is a well established method for determining security weaknesses within a system. The VA process is heavily reliant on expert knowledge, something that is attributed to being in short supply. This paper explores the possibility of automating VA and demonstrates an initial proof-of-concept involving decision-making skills comparable with a human-expert. This is achi...

Vulnerability Assessment using Honeypots

Honeypots are electronic bait, i.e. network resources (computers, routers, switches, etc.) deployed to be probed, attacked and compromised. Honeypots run special software which permanently collects data about the system and greatly aids in post-incident computer and network forensics. Several honeypots can be assembled into networks of honeypots called honeynets. Because of the wealth of data c...
