The growth of embedded systems connecting to the Internet or "Internet of Things" (IoT) increases year by year. Thus, the IoT ecosystems become new targets of the attackers. This presentation will talk about the basic principle of information security, why we need to secure IoT ecosystems, and also the vulnerabilities and solutions from OWASP.

What is IDS?
Software or hardware device
Monitors network or hosts for:
Malware (viruses, trojans, worms)
Network attacks via vulnerable ports
Host based attacks, e.g. privilege escalation
What is in an IDS?
An IDS normally consists of:
Various sensors based within the network or on hosts
These are responsible for generating the security events
A central engine
This correlates the events and uses heuristic techniques and rules to create alerts
A console
To enable an administrator to monitor the alerts and configure/tune the sensors
Different types of IDS
Network IDS (NIDS)

Intrusion detection system (IDS) is software that automates the intrusion detection process. The primary responsibility of an IDS is to detect unwanted and malicious activities. Intrusion prevention system (IPS) is software that has all the capabilities of an intrusion detection system and can also attempt to stop possible incidents.
With the growth of computer networking, electronic commerce and web services, security networking systems have become very important to protect infomation and networks againts malicious usage or attacks. In this report, it is designed an Intrusion Detection System using two artificial neural networks: one for Intrusion Detection and the another for Attack Classification.
Database firewall is a useful tool that monitor databases to identify and protect against database specific attacks that mostly seek to access sensitive information stored in the databases. However the commercial database firewalls are expensive and needs specific product knowledge, while the opensource database firewalls are designed for specific opensource database servers.
In order to fulfill the need of inexpensive database firewall, Snort - an opensource IDS/IPS - is possible to achieve the goal in some scenarios with familiar rule writing. The paper will explain the limitation of Snort as a database firewall, constraints in commercial database statement and some example implementation.

Five Major Types of Intrusion Detection System (IDS)david rom
Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is designed to monitor an entire network activity, traffic and identify network and system attack with only a few devices.
An intrusion detection system (IDS) is an ad hoc security solution to protect flawed computer systems. It works
like a burglar alarm that goes off if someone tampers with or manages to get past other security mechanisms
such as authentication mechanisms and firewalls. An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a device or a software
application that monitors network or system activities for malicious activities or policy violations and produces
reports to a management station.Intrusion Detection System (IDS) has been used as a vital instrument in
defending the network from this malicious or abnormal activity..In this paper we are comparing host based and
network based IDS and various types of attacks possible on IDS.
An IDS (Intrusion detection system) is a device or software application that monitors network or system
activities for malicious activities or policy violations and produces reports to a management station. IDS
come in a variety of “flavors” and approach the goal of detecting suspicious traffic in different ways.
There are network based (NIDS) and host based (HIDS) intrusion detection systems. Some systems may
attempt to stop an intrusion attempt but this is neither required nor expected of a monitoring system.
Intrusion Detecting System (IDS) is used to detect unusual traffic and unauthorized access. In other hand Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) will help us to place a rule to prevent those traffic and access. In general, there are several IDS & IPS tools are available. For instance, CISCO NGIPS, Vectra Cognito, SNORT, and few more. Considering Open source and easy to use, we are going to see “SNORT”. Note: Honeypot is different from IDS since Honeypot will attract the bad hackers by keeping require ports open.
Signature-Based or Anomaly-Based Intrusion Detection: The Merits and Demeritsdavid rom
IDS is. It’s simply a security software which is termed to help user or system administrator by automatically alert or notify at any case when a user tries to compromise information system through any malicious activities or at point where violation of security policies is taken.

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.

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.
Final project report on grocery store management system..pdfKamal Acharya
In today’s fast-changing business environment, it’s extremely important to be able to respond to client needs in the most effective and timely manner. If your customers wish to see your business online and have instant access to your products or services.
Online Grocery Store is an e-commerce website, which retails various grocery products. This project allows viewing various products available enables registered users to purchase desired products instantly using Paytm, UPI payment processor (Instant Pay) and also can place order by using Cash on Delivery (Pay Later) option. This project provides an easy access to Administrators and Managers to view orders placed using Pay Later and Instant Pay options.
In order to develop an e-commerce website, a number of Technologies must be studied and understood. These include multi-tiered architecture, server and client-side scripting techniques, implementation technologies, programming language (such as PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and MySQL relational databases. This is a project with the objective to develop a basic website where a consumer is provided with a shopping cart website and also to know about the technologies used to develop such a website.
This document will discuss each of the underlying technologies to create and implement an e- commerce website.
