Cyber Warfare is the current single greatest emerging threat to National Security. Network security has become an essential component of any computer network. As computer networks and systems become ever more fundamental to modern society, concerns about security has become increasingly important. There are a multitude of different applications open source and proprietary available for the protection +-system administrator, to decide on the most suitable format for their purpose requires knowledge of the available safety measures, their features and how they affect the quality of service, as well as the kind of data they will be allowing through un flagged. A majority of methods currently used to ensure the quality of a networks service are signature based. From this information, and details on the specifics of popular applications and their implementation methods, we have carried through the ideas, incorporating our own opinions, to formulate suggestions on how this could be done on a general level. The main objective was to design and develop an Intrusion Detection System. While the minor objectives were to; Design a port scanner to determine potential threats and mitigation techniques to withstand these attacks. Implement the system on a host and Run and test the designed IDS. In this project we set out to develop a Honey Pot IDS System. It would make it easy to listen on a range of ports and emulate a network protocol to track and identify any individuals trying to connect to your system. This IDS will use the following design approaches: Event correlation, Log analysis, Alerting, and policy enforcement. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) attempt to identify unauthorized use, misuse, and abuse of computer systems. In response to the growth in the use and development of IDSs, we have developed a methodology for testing IDSs. The methodology consists of techniques from the field of software testing which we have adapted for the specific purpose of testing IDSs. In this paper, we identify a set of general IDS performance objectives which is the basis for the methodology. We present the details of the methodology, including strategies for test-case selection and specific testing procedures. We include quantitative results from testing experiments on the Network Security Monitor (NSM), an IDS developed at UC Davis. We present an overview of the software platform that we have used to create user-simulation scripts for testing experiments. The platform consists of the UNIX tool expect and enhancements that we have developed, including mechanisms for concurrent scripts and a record-and-replay feature. We also provide background information on intrusions and IDSs to motivate our work.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. COMPUTER SECURITY 2
Abstract
This paper considers many of challenges faced by internet security professionals. The
risks are the same around the world. This research paper suggests taking a holistic approach to
this huge problem.
3. COMPUTER SECURITY 3
COMPUTER SECURITY POLICY
Computer security policy needs of industry and government have been a priority since the early
1990’s. These policies relate to internet security, firewalls, virus protection and statistical
methods of computer security. Internet security professionals around the world face the same
risks when it comes to the lack of needed resources to develop and sustain an effective security
policy (Waning Security, 1996, p. 3). A holistic approach in computer security policy is needed
(Scientists on Cybersecurity, 2002b, p. 38).
The National Research Council, which advises the government on technology matter, examines
cybersecurity issues including the nature of cybertrheats and common causes of system and
network pboblems. The agency has developed some controversial policy recommendations,
such as making software and system vendors legally responsible for insecure products and
systems (Scientists on Cybersecurity, 2002c, p. 38).
The security risks posed by microcomputers need to be controlled because microcomputers are
being used more frequently in large financial reporting systems. These risks include threats to
data integrity, unauthorized information access, and theft. A cost-effective security plan should
first identify business assets that need protection and risks from which the assets need to be
safeguarded. Controls can then be designed and based on the level of exposure to loss. Specific
security procedures that can be implemented include (1) policy statements on computer security
guidelines, (2) locking devices, (3) password protection, (4) security software such as data
4. COMPUTER SECURITY 4
encryption programs, and (5) data backup procedures to insure against accidental or intentional
destruction of data (Herdman & Neary, 1987b, p. 9).
Computer security is not always the answer the protecting a computer system. The cost of the
system must be weighed against the cost of damages without it. The purposes of security
systems, which are to prevent sabotage, protect confidential information and guard against
human error or technical failure must also be considered. Apprehensions about sabotage often
come from employee-related or company policy-related problems and computer security only
convinces a saboteur to harm the company in another way. Security systems to protect
confidential information are effective, but cannot protect against individuals intent on getting
information. Although human error and technical failure cannot be eliminated, preventive
measures can be taken. Adequate employee training can minimize human error while automatic
backup of important information is the best safeguard against technical failure (How Much
Computer Security, 1992, p. 12).
Research shows that corporate losses due to poor computer security are more likely to result
from error than from fraud. Further, more fraud losses are caused by employees than by
outsiders. A proper corporate computer security program takes a team approach, with
components including ongoing design, education and enforcement. It should begin with an
examination of the kinds of information the company deals with, and should consider the level of
protection appropriate to each during every phase of its life and regardless of is location or form.
Separation of functions, access controls, audit trails, and regular backup are all essential to
effective computer security. A well-documented, well-publicized security policy can help
5. COMPUTER SECURITY 5
companies comply with new federal and state laws and prosecute violators more effectively
(Thackeray, 1988b, p. 45)
Data security across networks is also an important issue for network administrators. To secure
intranetworks, some elements to include in a computer security policy are: (1) permission rules,
(2) responsibilities, (3) unauthorized access to files and directories, (4) unauthorized use of
software, (5) use of the network in for-profit activities, (6) use of electronic mail, (7) harassment,
(8) waste, (9) abuse, (10) theft, (11) enforcement, (12) workplace monitoring, (13) network
managers’ responsibilities and (14) the use of the network for non-company tasks (Alexander,
1995b, p. 59).
Needed computer security procedures should be implemented after and based on results of a
preliminary survey, assignment of security project responsibilities, risk analysis, analysis of
defenses against security risks, selection of appropriate defenses, implementation of the security
measures identified and periodic audit and improvement of the security program, security
controls (i.e. detective measures, preventive measures and insurance coverage).
The following procedures are recommended for application by all internet security professionals:
1. Permission – Use of computer facilities must be authorized by the owner of the
information or by a senior manage. Prior permission to use another user’s computer
account or user-ID from the owner of the account should be required. All computer or
electronic files are considered private unless the owner has explicitly made them
available to others.
2. Responsibilities – The user is owner of their data. It is their responsibility to ensure that
it is adequately protected against unauthorized access. Keep passwords and accounts
confidential; change passwords frequently. Do not leave terminals unattended without
logging out first. Do not engage in any activity that is intended to circumvent computer
6. COMPUTER SECURITY 6
security controls. Do not acce3ss the accounts of other with the intent to read, browse,
modify, copy or delete files and directories without authorization.
3. Unauthorized Use of Software –Users should be prohibited from loading any software
on any computer system (i.e. shareware o freeware software) without approval from the
system administrator and your supervisor. Users should be expressly prohibited from
using company computers to make illegal copies of licensed or copyrighted software.
Copyrighted software must only be used in accordance with its license or purchase
agreement.
4. Harassment – Company computer systems are not to be used to harass anyone. This
includes the use of insulting, sexist, racist, obscene or suggestive electronic mail,
tampering with others’ files invasive access to others’ equipment. Etc.
5. Destruction of Records – Instruct employees how to dispose of old manuals, floppy disks.
Shredding and thoroughly erasing floppy disks, removing any information that could be
used by an outsider to penetrate a company’s computer system. Recycle ink and toner
cartridges.
6. Networks – Disallow use of the company-owned network (or other network accessible by
company computers) for any activity other than company business. This includes surfing
the Internet, online discussions in newsgroups and bulletin board services, attempting to
access other computer systems without authorization, posting commercial messages, and
transmitting viruses, worms, or other invasive software.
7. Enforcement – Investigate all alleged abuses of computer resources. Each employee must
be responsible for their own actions. A company has the obligation to ensure that its
computer resources are used properly and within the guidelines established by the
company. The company should have access to all electronic files of its employees.
Limiting the access of guilty employees is appropriate. Refer flagrant abuses to senior
managers or law enforcement authorities. In extreme cases of flagrant abuse or disregard
of computer security guidelines, may result in termination of employment
8. Workplace Monitoring – A company must reserve the right to monitor the computer
system for signs of illegal or unauthorized activity. (Alexander, 1995b, p. 59)
In conclusion, computer security professionals must be highly trained, continuously updating
their education, and constantly vigilant in order to protect their company from intruders who
would cause them harm. The computer security professional must have integrity and be
trustworthy. The demands made on the individuals entrusted with the responsibility of computer
security is making that person increasingly valuable as we become a global community and
market place.
