Detecting Stepping Stones

One widely-used technique by which network attackers attain anonymity and complicate their apprehension is by employing stepping stones: they launch attacks not from their own computer but from intermediary hosts that they previously compromised. We develop an efficient algorithm for detecting stepping stones by monitoring a site’s Internet access link. The algorithm is based on the distinctive...

Nuclear isomers: stepping stones to the unknown

The utility of isomers for exploring the nuclear landscape is discussed, including their role in superheavy-element research, and the possibility of observing neutron radioactivity. Emphasis is given to K isomers in deformed nuclei. Transition rates are examined in the NpNn scheme for 2and 3-quasiparticle K-isomer decays, and in connection with level densities for higher quasiparticle numbers.

Stepping Stones to Permanent Employment with Particular Reference to the Queensland Public Service

It is widely believed that initial experience in temporary and/or casual employment may act as an important steeping-stone to permanent or more desired employment. This is because, on the demand side, employers are increasingly using non-standard employment as a means of labour force screening, and, on the supply side, such jobs offer workers a chance to broaden workforce skills and improve emp...
