Storm Virus was an email-spread computer virus from 2007-2008 that infected between 1-50 million computers. It derived its name from messages discussing 230 deaths in a storm. The virus created over 100,000 variants to avoid detection by antivirus software. Microsoft eventually released a fix via the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool. The creator has never been identified. The virus caused social and economic impacts including millions lost by the Royal Bank of Scotland and shutdown of a Republican website.

Abstract
Storm, mainly called a worm but many disagree and call it a virus or a Trojan, showed up in early 2007, and 16 months later still maintains some strength despite the claims of many that eradication is near. We will refer to the operating code as the Storm Code, and this code has used many evasion techniques to draw out its long life. The Storm Code has used the old tricks of encryption and code packing to achieve polymorphism to avoid detection by anti-virus and Intrusion Detection Sensors (IDS), but also implemented the new tricks of VM detection, a P2P Network and Fast Flux to slow down the malware analysis and keep the network going with minor destruction of its bot army. This paper has the objective of Storm Code analysis, and will focus on the C&C (Command and Control) function that is implemented by two overlaid networks – a UDP network based on Overnet using eDonkey protocol, and a TCP/IP overlaid network used to deliver content from the central C&C site down to the bot army. This paper will also look at the Fast Flux network which is also instrumental in hiding components of the botnet.
A paper I did for a class in 2008
Once Internet has reached almost every household and global network has become a support for services of various companies, computer viruses have spread increasingly more and began to wreak havoc really significant, compromising not only data on ordinary users' computers, but also the paramount of various institutions, banks or airlines. Here is a list with the most dangerous computer viruses in history.

A zero-day (also known as zero-hour or 0-day) vulnerability is an undisclosed computer-software vulnerability that hackers can exploit to adversely affect computer programs, data, additional computers or a network
External threats to information system: Malicious software and computer crimesSouman Guha
Many organizations have become so dependent on computer-based and internet based intensive information systems that disruptions of either may cause outcomes ranging from inconvenience to catastrophe. Our reliance on information systems has redefined corporate risk. Management now recognizes that threats to continuing operations include technological issues seldom previously considered. Protecting the corporation's information system and data warrants management's attention. Management's concern with information systems security has changed over recent years. These threats may arise from internal and external sources. Viruses and computer crimes from external sources are two major concerns of management because management has to invest time and resources to face these issues and secure own information system from external sources. These attacks may result in slow network performance, non-availability of a particular website, inability to access any website and most importantly different types of financial fraudulent and forgery are being occurred in modern era. Securing information system, thus, becomes top notch priority of modern organization.
The primary difference between a virus and a worm is that viruses must be triggered by the activation of their host; whereas worms are stand-alone malicious programs that can self-replicate and propagate independently as soon as they have breached the system.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
