ISAAC - InterSpecies Analysing Application using Containers

Scalable and Lightweight CTF Infrastructures Using Application Containers

Attack-defence Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions are effective pedagogic platforms to teach secure coding practices due to the interactive and real-world experiences they provide to the contest participants. Two of the key challenges that prevent widespread adoption of such contests are: 1) The game infrastructure is highly resource intensive requiring dedication of significant hardware resou...

SPEAKER: Split-Phase Execution of Application Containers

Linux containers have recently gained more popularity as an operating system level virtualization approach for running multiple isolated OS distros on a control host or deploying large scale microservicebased applications in the cloud environment. The wide adoption of containers as an application deployment platform also attracts attackers’ attention. Since the system calls are the entry points...

Analysing Object-Oriented Application Frameworks Using Concept Analysis

This paper proposes to use the formal technique of Concept Analysis to analyse how methods and classes in an object-oriented inheritance hierarchy are coupled by means of the inheritance and interfaces relationships. Especially for large and complex inheritance hierarchies, we believe that a formal analysis of how behaviour is reused can provide insight in how the hierarchy was built and the di...

Migrating LinuX Containers Using CRIU

Using Linux Containers in Telecom Applications

Container Technology is one of the most hyped virtualization technologies in the last couple of years. It enables not only higher application density on the same HW environment compared to hypervisor-based technologies but it also gives performance benefits regarding to starting and stopping applications. Container technologies are not new, but more recently an entire ecosystem has been built a...
