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 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 کاملFighting fit: thermal plasticity of metabolic function and fighting success in the crayfish Cherax destructor
1. We examined the effect of thermal acclimation on fighting success and underlying performance traits in the crayfish Cherax destructor . We tested the hypothesis that animals will be more successful when fighting at their acclimation temperature than at a colder or warmer temperature, and that changes in metabolic capacity underlie differences in behavioural performance. 2. Thermal acclimatio...
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 کاملPhysiological, Biochemical and Molecular Responses to Thermal Stress in Goats
Livestock undergo various kinds of stress such as physical, nutritional, chemical, psychological and thermal stress. Among all thermal stress is most concerning now a day in the ever changing climatic scenario. Thermal stress redistributes the body resources including protein and energy at the cost of decreased growth, reproduction, production and health. Goats (Capra hircus) are relatively res...
