An approach to enhance low -interaction honeypots by enabling them to detect spoofing attacks via network analysis
No full textA spoofing attack is when a malicious party imitates another system on a network as being from a known, trusted source and initiates attacks on network administrators to steal data, bypass network access or perform DDoS attacks. Spoofing attacks are a rising problem for companies both big and small costing them billions of dollars for the same. Honeypots are often used in organisations to both bait the attackers and to detect underway attacks. Low-interaction honeypots that imitate basic network services, internet protocols and operating systems are more likely to be used because of their cost-effectiveness but since they are limited in their abilities, organizations prefer high-interaction honeypots which are both expensive and resource heavy. Therefore, it was necessary to propose a method of detection of spoofing attacks with minimal resources to meet the needs of all. This paper proposes a spoofing attack detection mechanism for IP, ARP and DNS spoofing by enhancing the functionalities of a low interaction honeypot by incorporating some additional intelligence to make them detect basic spoofing attacks and capture all the network traffic. Tshark is used to capture the network traffic and then different scripts are implemented on them to categorize the network packets as spoofed or genuine. Next, these results are compared to the logs from the honeypots to see how our enhancement scripts have worked compared to them

Go for Orbit: One of America’s First Women Astronauts Finds Her Space
No full textFormer astronaut and one of the first six women accepted by NASA, Rhea Seddon, M.D., is a veteran of three space shuttle flights, a national speaker, and an awardwinning author. She served as a Mission Specialist on Space Shuttle flights in 1985 and 1991 and as Payload Commander in charge of all science activities on her final flight in 1993. After leaving NASA in 1997, Dr. Seddon was the Assistant Chief Medical Officer of the Vanderbilt Medical Group in Nashville for 11 years. She then became a founding partner of LifeWings Partners LLC which teaches teamwork to healthcare. She has also served as the president of a large women’s charitable group in Murfreesboro. Her 2016 autobiography, Go for Orbit, was awarded the Independent Book Publishers Association Ben Franklin Gold Award for Best Autobiography/Memoir. She will talk about her experiences with the space shuttle program and the inspiration, aspiration, and imagination it takes to be an astronaut
Quality of life and stress in active and sedentary university males
No full textThis study explored the impact of exercise levels on stress, psychological and physiological components, and quality of life in university males. A total of 51 students (age: 20.31±2.01) were recruited and participated in three trials over the course of the semester. Participants were divided into active and sedentary groups based on a physical activity level survey. Each trial consisted of a urine sample measuring cortisol for physiological stress and the completion of the quality of life and psychological surveys. A one-way repeated measures ANOVA across time showed no significant difference in cortisol levels by group. Pearson product correlations showed significant negative relationships (-0.334 to -0.710, p0.05) at each time point between perceived stress and quality of life, but no relationship was found between perceived stress or quality of life and cortisol levels. The results indicate male students may have difficulty assessing their physiological stress levels. The lack of difference in stress, quality of life, or cortisol levels between the groups indicates exercise may not be an attenuating factor for university males. More psychophysiological research on this population should be completed to explore other stress and quality of life factors
An exploratory study of mood states and transient emotion in amateur dressage riders
No full textThe purpose of this study was to explore the horse-rider relationship through the effect of a rider’s mood on the horse’s behavior in practice and competition. A total of 18 Female amateur dressage riders participated in this study. The participants completed five surveys and two observations. Surveys included a demographic survey, Rotter’s I-E Scale, Orientation to Life Questionnaire, and the Profile of Mood States (POMS). Observations took place at a scheduled practice and during one competition per participant. The POMS results showed increased mood disturbance from the riders (N=16, M= -9.94), p= 0.03 between practice and competition. Observation data revealed no significance in horse conflict behavior between practice and competition (M= -1.18) p= 0.95. The differences between rider TMD and horse conflict behavior pre- and post-competition, the results demonstrated a strong, positive, and significant correlation (r=0.868), p=0.000. These results are preliminary, but highlight a potential moderator of the horse-rider relationship
Distributed Dataflow Transactions
No full textAs serverless computing grows in popularity, developers are demanding more from existing serverless models. One example is the emergence of Stateful Function as a Service (SFaaS), in which state is added to operators in existing Function as a Service (FaaS) models, to support microservice-type applications while utilising the benefits of a serverless architecture. However, current SFaaS systems cannot provide performant transactions across operators with strong semantics. In this thesis, we present three conceptual transaction protocols for SFaaS dataflow systems based on Two-phase Commit (2PC), Deterministic Databases and Conflict-free Replicated Datatype (CRDT)s. Based on these insights, we implement Rhea, a deterministic transaction protocol in the prototype SFaaS execution engine, Universalis. Two optimizations are implemented for Rhea: deterministic reordering and a fallback mechanism, to reduce aborts caused by Read-after-write (RAW) and Write-after-write (WAW) dependencies, respectively. We present a transaction benchmarking client for Universalis that supports workloads from the Transaction Processing Performance Council Benchmark C (TPC-C) and the Yahoo! Cloud Serving Benchmark (YCSB). Using the client, we compare Rhea to a 2PC baseline microservice application. We found that Rhea can provide more than twice the throughput and half the latency of 2PC in the baseline application across a variety of workloads.Computer Science | Web Information System
The historical basis of the novel by Rhea Galanaki «The life of Ismail Ferik Pasha»
No full textВ статье в контексте историзма рассматривается роман известной греческой
писательницы Реи Галанаки (Ρέα Γαλανάκη, 1947) «Жизнь Измаила Ферик паши» («Ο βίος του Ισμαήλ
Φερίκ πασά», 1989). В исследовании были выделены основные проблемы, затрагиваемые в книге, в
частности, проблемы историчности повествования, идентичности и двойственности главного героя.У статті в контексті історизму розглядається роман відомої грецької письменниці Реї
Галанакі (Ρέα Γαλανάκη, 1947) «Життя Ізмаїла Ферік паші» («Ο βίος του Ισμαήλ Φερίκ πασά», 1989). У

оповідання, ідентичності та двоїстісті головного героя.In this article the novel «The life of Ismail Ferik Pasha» («Ο βίος του Ισμαήλ Φερίκ πασά», 1989) by
famous Greek writer Rhea Galanaki (Ρέα Γαλανάκη, 1947) is considered in the context of historicism.
The article deals with the general issues which are raised in the book; in particular, the problem of identity
crisis and the duality (both sexual and national) of the protagonist who is Greek-born Ottoman and who is torn
between the primordial forces of nature (his birth-identity) and social conditioning (his assumed Ottoman self)
during the narration.
Also in the circle of problems under consideration includes a definition of the genre of this novel, questions of
incipience of the historical novel and its impact on various aspects of the creating the text of the novel «The life
of Ismail Ferik Pasha».
As a result of the analysis of Rhea Galanaki`s novel it could be concluded that this novel is historical one and
the theme and idea are very important for Greece and Egypt, because it tells the readers about greatest heroes
in the social, historical and political changes during the Cretan Revolt; the author in her novel emphasizes the
connection between the present and the past of Greece
