Natural Shell: An Assistant for End-User Scripting

An Encrypted Payload Protocol and Target-Side Scripting Engine

Modern exploit payloads in commercial and open-source penetration testing frameworks have grown much more advanced than the traditional shellcode they replaced. These payloads permit interactive access without launching a shell, network proxying, and many other rich features. Available payload frameworks have several limitations, however. They make little use of encryption to secure delivery an...

Tcl/tk for a Personal Digital Assistant

This paper reports on the experience of providing Tcl/Tk for the ParcTab, a personal digital assistant built at Xerox PARC. The primary reason for supporting an extension language like Tcl/Tk for a PDA is to supply the same platform-independent infrastructure for user interface design and communication between the PDA and remote applications. The result was that Tcl/Tk enabled rapid prototyping...

Automatic Modelling, Generation And Visualisation Of Realistic 3D Virtual Cities For Mobile Navigation

This paper presents a comprehensive procedural 3D modelling solution called Virtual City Maker, which relies on scripting algorithms for automatic generation of photorealistic virtual urban content. This solution uses the combination of aerial images, terrestrial photographic input and 2D ground maps in conjunction with a user-friendly customized interface allowing for automatically and interac...

An Egg-Shell Pd-Ag/ α -Al 2 O 3 Catalyst for Tail-End Acetylene Selective Hydrogenation

Turning Speech Into Scripts

We describe an architecture for implementing spoken natural language dialogue interfaces to semi-autonomous systems, in which the central idea is to transform the input speech signal through successive levels of representation corresponding roughly to linguistic knowledge, dialogue knowledge, and domain knowledge. The final representation is an executable program in a simple scripting language ...
