Captain, Where Is Your Ship – Compromising Vessel Tracking SystemsTrend Micro
A talk given by Kyle Wilhoit and Marco Balduzzi from Trend Micro's Forward Looking Threat Research team, along with independent researcher Alessandro Pasta.
Abstract:
In recent years, automated identification systems (AISes) have been introduced to enhance vessels tracking and provide extra safety to marine traffic, on top of conventional radar installations. AIS, which is currently a mandatory installation for all passenger ships and ships over 300 metric tonnes, works by acquiring GPS coordinates and exchanging vessel’s position, course and information with nearby ships, offshore installation, i.e. harbors and traffic controls, and Internet tracking and visualizing providers.
With an estimated number of 400,000 installation, AIS is currently the best system for collision avoidance, maritime security, aids to navigation and accident investigations.
Given its primary importance in marine traffic safety, we conducted a comprehensive security evaluation of AIS, by tackling it from both a software and a hardware, radio frequency perspective.
In this talk, we share with you our finding, i.e how we have been able to hijack and perform man-in-the-middle attacks on existing vessels, take over AIS communications, tamper with the major online tracking providers and eventually fake our own yacht!.

All content not indexed by traditional web-based search engines is known as the DeepWeb. Wrongly been associated only with the Onion Routing (TOR), the DeepWeb's ecosystem comprises a number of other anonymous and decentralized networks. The Invisible Internet Project (I2P), FreeNET, and Alternative Domain Names (like Name.Space and OpenNic) are examples of networks leveraged by bad actors to host malware, high-resilient botnets, underground forums and bitcoin-based cashout systems (e.g., for cryptolockers).
We designed and implemented a prototype system called DeWA for the automated collection and analysis of the DeepWeb, with the goal of quickly identifying new threats as soon they appear.
In this talk, we provide concrete examples of how using DeWA to detect, e.g., trading of illicit and counterfeit goods, underground forums, privacy leaks, hidden dropzones, malware hosting and TOR-based botnets.
HITB2012AMS - SatanCloud: A Journey Into the Privacy and Security Risks of Cl...Marco Balduzzi
This document summarizes the findings of an automated analysis of over 5,000 Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) on Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) platform. The analysis found that a high percentage of AMIs contained known software vulnerabilities, malware infections, leftover credentials, and recoverable deleted files containing sensitive data. The security risks demonstrate that users must take precautions when obtaining and sharing AMIs to avoid unintentionally enabling attacks or compromising privacy.
The document introduces several characters including Ruslan and his dog Bibo, a baby with a toy, a sheriff with a big cap, a teacher with pretty glasses, students with books, minions with a blue and red scooter, a dog named Jake, and asks questions about characters' names.
The document describes a new type of denial-of-service (DoS) attack that can occur in cloud data centers due to their underprovisioned nature. It identifies that by saturating the network bandwidth between hosts in different subnets, an attacker can target specific applications by congesting the uplink connecting the targeted subnet. It then proposes two approaches for an attacker to identify the network topology and determine a suitable bottleneck link to attack. Finally, it shows that through rapidly launching many virtual machines, an attacker can quickly gain access to a sufficient number of hosts connected to the targeted router subnet to launch an effective bandwidth saturation attack.
Sole reliance on AIS data for ship tracking poses risks for compliance as AIS has vulnerabilities. It can be hacked and falsified, is not continuously transmitted, and was not designed for global tracking. An alternative is PurpleTRAC, which screens ships against sanctions lists, tracks using multiple data sources including secure Inmarsat-C, detects events, and archives activities for auditing and compliance.

2. The steps include checking for HDD availability in the BIOS, using the "hddinfo" and "hddpwd" CCTK commands to view HDD details and set passwords, rebooting the system for changes to take effect, and verifying passwords are set properly in the BIOS and through additional CCTK commands.
3. The process to clear an HDD password uses the "hddpwd=" CCTK command along with the valid password that was previously set.
This document discusses the configuration of electrical substations and distribution feeders. It mentions substations, distribution feeders, load points, sectionalizer switches, tie switches, and load joints connecting to other feeders. A new configuration is proposed.
HTTP(S)-Based Clustering for Assisted Cybercrime InvestigationsMarco Balduzzi
This document describes SPuNge, a system for using HTTP(S) clustering to assist with cybercrime investigations into targeted attacks. SPuNge processes network traces to cluster similar malicious URLs and group machines that request those URLs. It identifies potential targeted attacks as groups of 2-5 machines from the same industry or country reaching clusters of similar URLs. The system was tested on one week of data and found multiple examples of potential targeted attacks on organizations in technology and oil/gas industries from Russia and China.
Cloud computing security policy framework for mitigating denial of service at...Venkatesh Prabhu
The document proposes a security management framework to mitigate denial of service attacks on cloud storage systems. The framework uses a cloud controller in a virtual machine to control data access management by blocking illegal data access. It aims to provide high-level security mechanisms to detect malicious access in cloud storage systems and implement a security policy framework. The proposed system was found to economically provide scaling and security against DOS attacks, though it has limitations such as taking time for installation and the virtual machine failure causing system shutdown.
This document discusses security threats in cloud computing. It introduces the concept of a threat model for analyzing security problems by identifying attackers, assets, vulnerabilities and threats. The key components of a threat model are described, including different types of attackers like insiders and outsiders, the assets and goals of attackers, and common threats organized using the STRIDE framework. Building an accurate threat model is important for designing appropriate security defenses for a cloud computing system.
Avian flu Type A-H5N1 epidemiological model: Puerto Rico as a case studyMariangeles Rivera
This document outlines research on modeling the potential spread of avian influenza A-H5N1 between two cities in Puerto Rico. The objectives are to determine potential outbreaks using a metapopulation network approach in a SIR model for Cayey and Aibonito. The methodology implements a mobility model coupling differential equations for the human populations. Parameters include infection and recovery rates. Future work involves simulations under different scenarios and expanding the model to include more towns. Acknowledgments recognize the University of Puerto Rico at Cayey and mentor for the opportunity.
HTTP Parameter Pollution Vulnerabilities in Web Applications (Black Hat EU 2011)Marco Balduzzi
While input validation vulnerabilities such as XSS and SQL injection have been intensively studied, a new class of injection vulnerabilities called HTTP Parameter Pollution (HPP) has not received as much attention. HPP attacks consist of injecting encoded query string delimiters into other existing parameters. If a web application does not properly sanitize the user input, a malicious user can compromise the logic of the application to perform either client-side or server-side attacks. One consequence of HPP attacks is that the attacker can potentially override existing hard-coded HTTP parameters to modify the behavior of an application, bypass input validation checkpoints, and access and possibly exploit variables that may be out of direct reach.
In the talk we present the first automated system for the detection of HPP vulnerabilities in real web applications. Our approach consists of injecting fuzzed parameters into the web application and a set of tests and heuristics to determine if the pages that are generated contain HPP vulnerabilities. We used this system to conduct a large-scale experiment by testing more than 5,000 popular websites and discovering unknown HPP flaws in many important and well-known sites such as Microsoft, Google, VMWare, Facebook, Symantec, Paypal and others. These sites have been all informed and many of them have acknowledged or fixed the problems. We will explain in details how to efficiently detect HPP bugs and how to prevent this novel class of injection vulnerabilities in future web applications.

OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is a metric used to measure manufacturing equipment performance based on Availability, Performance Rate, and Quality Rate. It is calculated as a percentage and used for analysis and benchmarking. While known, many companies do not fully utilize OEE. Implementing OEE monitoring can help companies improve processes, prioritize issues, and track progress. Regular OEE measurement of equipment provides visibility and motivation for employees. Combining OEE with other tools like True Downtime Cost (TDC) provides more actionable insights for decision making.

Asset Performance Management (APM) is a methodology that focuses on maximizing asset performance, optimizing operation and maintenance costs, and mitigating asset failure risks. It ensures efficient asset lifecycle decision-making to optimize value. APM helps achieve goals like improved safety, compliance, and profitability. Arrelic is a firm that provides APM consulting, analytics platforms, IoT solutions, and training to help clients improve plant productivity, reliability, and reduce costs by 25-30% through eliminating downtime and optimizing asset maintenance.
The document discusses enterprise asset management (EAM) 2.0 and the need for remote monitoring of assets with real-time accuracy due to the increasing number and geographic diversity of installations. It states that analyzing continuously collected asset data can build predictive algorithms to improve performance, efficiency, and uptime by anticipating issues. EAM 2.0 combines predictive analytics, which identifies potential issues, with suggestive analytics, which proposes solutions, to transform EAM. Benefits include increased performance, improved risk management, and lower maintenance costs. The document also maps EAM and asset management terminology to common IT terms.
The document discusses implementing Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) programs at semiconductor fabrication facilities to support Total Productive Maintenance. OEE measures how effectively equipment manufactures good products. It is calculated by multiplying availability, performance efficiency, and quality rates. Implementing an automated OEE tracking system is important for continuous improvement. OEE goals should be set and aligned with corporate objectives. Training employees on OEE and setting clear responsibilities is key to the success of an OEE program.
This document provides an overview of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). OEE is a metric used to measure manufacturing system performance by calculating availability, performance, and quality rates. It identifies the gap between actual and maximum potential output. The document discusses the "six big losses" that reduce OEE - breakdowns, setups, minor stoppages, speed losses, defects, and start-up waste. Tracking OEE can help companies increase productivity 10-50% and profits 20-300% by prioritizing issues and driving continuous improvement.
This document is intended to serve as a guide for
professionals in the High Volume Manufacturing Industries who want to understand what Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) can deliver for their business.
The Critical KPI to Drive Manufacturing ProductivityCorey Vodvarka
This document provides an introduction to Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), a methodology for measuring manufacturing productivity. OEE is calculated as the product of availability, performance, and quality percentages. World-class OEE is considered to be 85% or higher, achieved through availability of 90%, performance of 95%, and quality of 99.9%. The document discusses how to calculate OEE and its components, common loss events, and the importance of scrutinizing each component individually and together to improve productivity.
Design and Analysis of Chute System to obtain World Class OEEijsrd.com
A large investment in a piece of capital machinery and, in theory, it could run 24 hour a day for seven days a week at its optimum Speed. If it did this you gain the maximum value from the investment. In reality there is number of element that can affect the value gained from the investment. So that fully utilization of equipment can be done. Hence for fully utilization of any equipment any firm must have to calculate OEE. This paper represents the methodology applied in increasing the OEE of an Organization by exchanging the feed mechanism from a conveyor to a Chute system.
This white paper discusses how OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and MES (Manufacturing Execution System) can help food and beverage manufacturers reduce costs. OEE measures availability, performance, and quality to identify improvement opportunities. Schneider Electric's Ampla MES solution collects real-time production data across multiple systems to provide analytics and insights. Implementing an automated MES can help manufacturers reduce downtime, waste, and labor costs through continuous monitoring and root cause analysis of production issues.
The Critical KPI to drive Manufacturing ProductivityJason Corder
A net reduction in cost of operations directly and positively affects the bottom line. Companies can boost revenue without sacrificing profitability by factoring in long-term debt-to capital ratio. Since finance puts a premium on a company’s ability to maximize productivity and use existing assets, you have to continually measure, analyze, and adjust your processes. This is accomplished by a rigorous practice of productivity gains, cost cutting with increased efficiencies, and maximizing returns on fixed assets.
This chapter discusses measuring and optimizing factory performance through Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). It begins by defining key terms like efficiency, effectiveness, and productivity. OEE is then introduced as a metric to measure equipment performance based on valuable operating time versus loading time. Losses that decrease effectiveness are categorized as downtime, speed, or quality issues. The chapter provides formulas to calculate OEE and analyzes how to implement OEE measurement systems and identify improvement opportunities.
This article highlights both the pros and cons of implementing OEE in a manufacturing environment.
I have tried to include both the positive and negative elements to give a balanced view, and have also included some of the best practices that I have seen over the last 29 years that I have been working in the industry.
Although my background is as a software developer and in particular using the PlantRun and Prodigy software platforms, the concepts described here are universally applicable.
OEE or Overall Equipment Effectiveness is a performance metric that quantifies machine efficiency. It monitors 3 key elements - availability, performance, and quality. The preventive metrics derived from OEE analysis help reduce downtime, trace equipment faults in real time, and reduce repair costs by enabling timely detection and resolution of issues. A case study of GE Fanuc found production increased after they switched to OEE and were able to identify and address hundreds of brief line stoppages causing productivity dips. In conclusion, companies should monitor machine efficiency and productivity using the maintenance metrics of the OEE system.
Any firm typically made a large investment in a piece of capital machinery and, in theory, it could run 24 hour a day for seven days a week at its optimum Speed. If it did this you gain the maximum value from the investment. In reality there is number of element that can affect the value gained from the investment. So that fully utilization of equipment can be done. Hence for fully utilization of any equipment any firm must have to calculate OEE. This paper represents the methodology applied in increasing the OEE of an Organization by exchanging the feed mechanism from Bowl Feeder to a Conveyor.
Productivity related Vital Measures through simulationsSameer Kumar
This document proposes a lean simulation exercise to teach participants about measuring and improving the seven vital measures of a production system. The simulation would involve setting up a mock envelope manufacturing company with resources like materials, equipment, and employees. Participants would play various roles in the company and work to deliver envelopes to a customer within a time limit. They would measure key metrics like quality, productivity and costs before and after implementing improvements. The goals are to help participants learn how to identify waste, standardize processes, and use data to drive continuous improvement through a low-cost simulated work environment.
OTS - Everything you wanted to know but didn't askJeff Hackney
The document discusses key considerations for developing an effective Operator Training Simulator (OTS). It emphasizes that an OTS' success depends on having a clear vision, communication, and providing a complete solution that meets training goals. Key aspects include specifying requirements clearly, developing process-specific courseware, using scenarios and assessments to improve learning, and planning for long-term utilization and support. When implemented correctly, an OTS can significantly improve operator training outcomes.

Since OpenUI5/SAPUI5 1.120, the framework supports the integration of any Web Components. This makes it possible, for example, to natively embed own Web Components of your design system which are created with Stencil. The integration embeds the Web Components in a way that they can be used naturally in XMLViews, like with standard UI5 controls, and can be bound with data binding. Learn how you can also make use of the Web Components base class in OpenUI5/SAPUI5 to also integrate your Web Components and get inspired by the solution to generate a custom UI5 library providing the Web Components control wrappers for the native ones.

UI5con 2024 - Boost Your Development Experience with UI5 Tooling ExtensionsPeter Muessig
The UI5 tooling is the development and build tooling of UI5. It is built in a modular and extensible way so that it can be easily extended by your needs. This session will showcase various tooling extensions which can boost your development experience by far so that you can really work offline, transpile your code in your project to use even newer versions of EcmaScript (than 2022 which is supported right now by the UI5 tooling), consume any npm package of your choice in your project, using different kind of proxies, and even stitching UI5 projects during development together to mimic your target environment.
Measures in SQL (SIGMOD 2024, Santiago, Chile)Julian Hyde
SQL has attained widespread adoption, but Business Intelligence tools still use their own higher level languages based upon a multidimensional paradigm. Composable calculations are what is missing from SQL, and we propose a new kind of column, called a measure, that attaches a calculation to a table. Like regular tables, tables with measures are composable and closed when used in queries.
SQL-with-measures has the power, conciseness and reusability of multidimensional languages but retains SQL semantics. Measure invocations can be expanded in place to simple, clear SQL.
To define the evaluation semantics for measures, we introduce context-sensitive expressions (a way to evaluate multidimensional expressions that is consistent with existing SQL semantics), a concept called evaluation context, and several operations for setting and modifying the evaluation context.

Using Query Store in Azure PostgreSQL to Understand Query PerformanceGrant Fritchey
Microsoft has added an excellent new extension in PostgreSQL on their Azure Platform. This session, presented at Posette 2024, covers what Query Store is and the types of information you can get out of it.
Microservice Teams - How the cloud changes the way we workSven Peters
A lot of technical challenges and complexity come with building a cloud-native and distributed architecture. The way we develop backend software has fundamentally changed in the last ten years. Managing a microservices architecture demands a lot of us to ensure observability and operational resiliency. But did you also change the way you run your development teams?
Sven will talk about Atlassian’s journey from a monolith to a multi-tenanted architecture and how it affected the way the engineering teams work. You will learn how we shifted to service ownership, moved to more autonomous teams (and its challenges), and established platform and enablement teams.

(OEE = % availability x % capacity x % quality)
6. So where are we now?
What does our Overall Operating Efficiency (OEE) look
like at present?
Run to fail. Work on equipment
only when it fails.
(OEE = % availability x % capacity x % quality)
7. So where are we now?
What does our Overall Operating Efficiency (OEE) look
like at present?
Recognize that maintenance strategies could be
improved, so have spares available when failures occur.
(OEE = % availability x % capacity x % quality)
8. So where are we now?
What does our Overall Operating Efficiency (OEE) look
like at present?
(OEE = % availability x % capacity x % quality)
Use routine inspections, lubrications, adjustments,
and minor services to improve equipment efficiency.
9. So where are we now?
What does our Overall Operating Efficiency (OEE) look
like at present?
Utilise specific techniques to monitor condition of
equipment, allowing for proactive replacement and
problem solving instead of failures.
(OEE = % availability x % capacity x % quality)
10. So where are we now?
What does our Overall Operating Efficiency (OEE) look
like at present?
Combine prior techniques with operator involvement &
automation to free maintenance technicians to concentrate
on repair data analysis and major maintenance activities.

13. It’s a great idea, but…
Implementation will be a nightmare.
It’s too expensive.
It’s too complicated.
It won’t integrate with our other systems.
It’s too much too soon.
14. Implementation will be a nightmare.
EAM implementation can be fast and relatively
painless, particularly with those EAM systems which
allow us to implement in tranches, as we see fit.
15. It’s too expensive
Some EAM systems charge per asset, which could be
prohibitive for an asset-heavy company such as ours.
Other EAM systems however, charge per user, with
an unlimited number of assets tracked.
16. It’s too complicated
Most leading EAM systems have been designed
to be used by entry-level data capturers,
allowing everyone from shop steward to finance
manager to participate.
17. It won’t integrate
Most EAM market leaders use a universal platform
that allows them to be easily integrated into any
other IT systems we currently have.
18. It’s too much too soon
Although EAM systems offer a diverse range of
features, we can start with the simplest benefits and
introduce other features as and when we need to.
19. So what kind of benefits could we really
expect from EAM?
Cost savings realised should significantly outweigh EAM
system investment
A flexible & configurable solution used by an array of user
groups within our company
Better support and dynamic notifications for all types of
facilities, equipment and assets
Mobile device options including Apple/Android/Windows Mobile
Reliability Planning & Analysis available for improved uptime
Energy & Sustainability reports to further improve efficiency and
reduce costs
Open architecture to support our integration needs
Softworx empowers organizations to perform better by delivering world-leading software solutions via Infor. The purpose of this Powerpoint presentation is to assist you in explaining to your company a strategy to drive down costs and improve profitability by using new technology to sweat assets optimally.
The main message you want to get across in this slide is how much of your company's sustainable success will ultimately be rooted in the way it stewards its assets and monitors its process.
Discuss the varying assets relevant to your company. This may be a good time to ask some pertinent questions as to how you are currently tracking these assets. For example: Do you know when your equipment is due for an upgrade? Who controls this? Is it suppliers? Are maintenance and warranties recorded/documented or left inside one man’s head?
Discuss each segment of the diagram briefly. Then decide which segment your company falls into and point this out by using the slide on which that segment is highlighted. Delete the four slides that are not applicable. Substantiate your choice with some practical examples if you can.
These graphs clearly show the potential impact EAM could have on the bottom line. Talk your audience through the graph – pointing out the knock-on effects and overall differences, and referring back to the Operating Efficiency level you think reflects your company at this point.
You can edit this slide to be relevant to your own company.
Discuss the main points of resistance in your business. Delete the slides that are not relevant.
