Port scans are done by an attacker to discover which services are o ered by systems on a network and could be attacked. There are various approaches for port scanning, all providing advantages and disadvantages. One of those approaches is the TCP Idle Scan, in which the attacker spoofs messages of a third computer in order to remain undetected. To see the results of the scan, he utilizes the IP...

The present study aims at investigating the amount of exhaust gases emissions of a 4-cylinder gasoline-ignition engine. An experimental study of an ignition engine management system has been conducted for emissions optimization, using Winols specialized software. In order to achieve a steady state conditions in the experiments, the temperature of the water and engine oil before each test reache...

As cited in papers on performance measurement and profiling [14], [15], computing power of desktop workstations is available, i.e. unused 50− 70% of the time – not only on weekends and during the night but also during busiest working hours. Since computing capacity steadily increases, these numbers are likely to grow. Usual resource request patterns, however are bursty, i.e. phases of multiple ...

The global business community requires graduates with skills and capabilities to cope with real-world interdisciplinary problems. Two key issues frequently noted are the silo disciplinary focus and the lack of exposure to responsible decision-making (RDM). IDLE (Interactive Dynamic Learning Environment) is a web-based computer simulated enterprise delivered through a systems approach broadening...

By utilizing the information encoded in connectivity of nodes affected by an attack (idle network), assessment network robustness is systematically enhanced. Moreover, idle provides generalizability to train models estimate robustness, even for previously unseen attacks.
