This document presents a framework called OSSCR that aims to evaluate open-source software packages and measure potential supply chain risks. The framework was developed by studying over 650 previously documented malware samples found in open-source packages. Key attributes that make packages vulnerable, such as inactive maintenance, sensitive OS functionality combined with network access, and social engineering attacks are used to flag packages as potentially risky. The goal of the OSSCR framework is to help developers identify and review supply chain risks in open-source packages before using them.

SOURCE CODE ANALYSIS TO REMOVE SECURITY VULNERABILITIES IN JAVA SOCKET PROGRA...IJNSA Journal
This paper presents the source code analysis of a file reader server socket program (connection-oriented sockets) developed in Java, to illustrate the identification, impact analysis and solutions to remove five important software security vulnerabilities, which if left unattended could severely impact the server running the software and also the network hosting the server. The five vulnerabilities we study in this paper are: (1) Resource Injection, (2) Path Manipulation, (3) System Information Leak, (4) Denial of Service and (5) Unreleased Resource vulnerabilities. We analyze the reason why each of these vulnerabilities occur in the file reader server socket program, discuss the impact of leaving them unattended in the program, and propose solutions to remove each of these vulnerabilities from the program. We also analyze any potential performance tradeoffs (such as increase in code size and loss of features) that could arise while incorporating the proposed solutions on the server program. The proposed solutions are very generic in nature, and can be suitably modified to correct any suchvulnerabilities in software developed in any other programming language. We use the Fortify Source Code Analyzer to conduct the source code analysis of the file reader server program, implemented on a Windows XP virtual machine with the standard J2SE v.7 development kit.
IRJET - Detecting and Securing of IP Spoofing Attack by using SDNIRJET Journal
This document discusses detecting and preventing IP spoofing attacks using software-defined networking (SDN). It begins with an abstract that outlines using SDN architecture to implement controls for IP spoofing through an algorithm to manage flows of unused IP addresses via the shortest path. It then discusses how IP spoofing works by creating packets with fake source IP addresses. The proposed approach uses SDN destination networking to associate source networks with cryptographic keys added to packets for authentication by routers. This provides incentives for internet service providers to implement spoofing prevention. Evaluation shows the proposed approach improves performance metrics like IP address usage, intrusion detection, secure data transmission, and synchronization compared to existing methods.

Advance security in cloud computing for military weaponsIRJET Journal
This document proposes a system to securely transmit military weapon launch codes through cloud storage using multiple security techniques. The system uses steganography to hide launch codes in image captchas. Visual cryptography is then used to split the captcha images into shares distributed to authorized users. Each share undergoes image encryption and watermarking before being sent via email. To obtain the launch code, users decrypt their shares, verify the watermarks through de-watermarking, and use visual cryptography to reconstruct the original captcha and extract the hidden launch code text. The proposed multi-layered approach aims to securely transmit sensitive military information through cloud storage.

STUDY THE EFFECT OF RESPONSE REDUCTION FACTOR ON RC FRAMED STRUCTUREIRJET Journal
This study examines the effect of response reduction factors (R factors) on reinforced concrete (RC) framed structures through nonlinear dynamic analysis. Three RC frame models with varying heights (4, 8, and 12 stories) were analyzed in ETABS software under different R factors ranging from 1 to 5. The results showed that displacement increased as the R factor decreased, indicating less linear behavior for lower R factors. Drift also decreased proportionally with increasing R factors from 1 to 5. Shear forces in the frames decreased with higher R factors. In general, R factors of 3 to 5 produced more satisfactory performance with less displacement and drift. The displacement variations between different building heights were consistent at different R factors. This study evaluated how R factors influence
