Penetration testing (pentesting) is a well established method for identifying security weaknesses, by conducting friendly attacks. Simulated pentesting automates this process, through designing a model of the system at hand, and using modelbased attack planning to generate the attacks. Classical planning variants of this idea are being used commercially by the pentesting industry since 2010. Su...

Many software vendors conduct or commission penetration testing of their products. In a penetration test security experts identify entry points for attacks in a software product. The audits can be an eye-opener for development teams: they realize that security requires much more attention. However, it is unclear what lasting benefits developers can reap from penetration tests. We report from a ...

In geotechnical field investigations, cone penetration tests (CPT) are increasingly used for ground characterization of fine-grained soils. Test results different parameters that typically visualized in CPT based data interpretation charts. this paper we propose a novel methodology which is on supervised machine learning permits redefinition the boundaries within these charts to account unique ...
