Abstract The detection of cyber threats has recently been a crucial research domain as the internet and data drive people’s livelihood. Several cyber-attacks lead to the compromise of data security. The proposed system offers complete data protection from Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) attacks with attack detection and defence mechanisms. The modified lateral movement detection algorithm detects the APT attacks, while the defence is achieved by the Dynamic Deception system that makes use of the belief update algorithm. Before termination, every cyber-attack undergoes multiple stages, with the most prominent stage being Lateral Movement (LM). The LM uses a Remote Desktop protocol (RDP)… More >

Abstract Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is widely used by companies, schools, universities, and other institutions. However, VoIP faces many issues that slow down its propagation. An important issue is poor utilization of the VoIP service network bandwidth, which results from the large header of the VoIP packet. The objective of this study is to handle this poor utilization of the network bandwidth. Therefore, this study proposes a novel method to address this large header overhead problem. The proposed method is called zero size payload (ZSP), which aims to reemploy and use the header information (fields) of the VoIP packet that… More >
