Multi level parsing based approach against phishing attacks with the help of ...IJNSA Journal
The increasing use of internet all over the world, be it in households or in corporate firms, has led to an
unprecedented rise in cyber-crimes. Amongst these the major chunk consists of Internet attacks which are
the most popular and common attacks are carried over the internet. Generally phishing attacks, SSL
attacks and some other hacking attacks are kept into this category. Security against these attacks is the
major issue of internet security in today’s scenario where internet has very deep penetration. Internet has
no doubt made our lives very convenient. It has provided many facilities to us at penny’s cost. For instance
it has made communication lightning fast and that too at a very cheap cost. But internet can pose added
threats for those users who are not well versed in the ways of internet and unaware of the security risks
attached with it. Phishing Attacks, Nigerian Scam, Spam attacks, SSL attacks and other hacking attacks are
some of the most common and recent attacks to compromise the privacy of the internet users. Many a times
if the user isn’t careful, then these attacks are able to steal the confidential information of user (or
unauthorized access). Generally these attacks are carried out with the help of social networking sites,
popular mail server sites, online chatting sites etc. Nowadays, Facebook.com, gmail.com, orkut.com and
many other social networking sites are facing these security attack problems.

Banking and Modern Payments System Security AnalysisCSCJournals
Cyber-criminals have benefited from on-line banking (OB), regardless of the extensive research on financial cyber-security. To better be prepared for what the future might bring, we try to predict how hacking tools might evolve. We briefly survey the state-of-the-art tools developed by black- hat hackers and conclude that they could be automated dramatically. To demonstrate the feasibility of our predictions and prove that many two-factor authentication schemes can be bypassed, we have analyzed banking and modern payments system security.
In this research we will review different payment protocols and security methods that are being used to run banking systems. We will survey some of the popular systems that are being used today, with a deeper focus on the Chips, cards, NFC, authentication etc. In addition, we will also discuss the weaknesses in the systems that can compromise the customer's trust.

A Cybersecurity and Digital Risk Assessment: A Family Case StudyCSEIJJournal
Digitalization is not limited merely to business companies and high-tech industries; it has increasingly
changed families' behaviors and attitudes as they are exposed to the digital world using different
technological aspects. Therefore, numerous risks can be raised between all members of the family. For
example, if IoT devices in a smart home are not embedded with high-security standards, they would be
vulnerable to being attacked by hackers. Cyberattacks will not be limited to attacking virtually, but also
they could unlock the home's door from the phone, and accordingly, the criminal will enter the home, and
they can lose much more than credit cards. In this paper we identified various types of risks, with providing
an analysis about the vulnerabilities and protecting families from digital attackers
Presented at the 29th Annual FMA Conference

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

10. Security Breatch
Attackers can initiate different types of security breaches.
Viruses, spyware, and other malware -Cybercriminals often use
malicious software to break in to protected networks.
Impersonation of an organization
-Cybercriminals may send a bogus, but convincing email to an
employee of an organization
-The email is made to appear like it’s from an executive with an
urgent request for, say, employment records, log-in information,
or other sensitive data.
-Eager to fill the request, the employee may email back the
information — putting it in the hands of cybercriminals.
Denial of service (DDoS) attacks
-A denial-of-service attack is capable of crashing websites
-Hackers can make a website — or a computer — unavailable by
flooding it with traffic.
-overwhelm an organization’s security devices and its ability to

11. Security breach or data breach?
A security breach happens first. A data breach may follow.
A security breach occurs when an unauthorized party bypasses
security measures to reach protected areas of a system.
A security breach can put the intruder within reach of valuable
information — company accounts, intellectual property, the
personal information of customers that might include names,
addresses, Social Security numbers, and credit card information.
