This document discusses cyber security. It defines cyber security as technologies and processes designed to protect computers, networks, and data from unauthorized access and attacks over the internet. The three core principles of cyber security are confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Several types of cyber attacks are described such as malware, phishing, and denial of service attacks. Major historical cyber attacks are outlined including the Morris Worm in 1988 and the Anthem hack in 2015 that breached 80 million records. Common attack patterns and measures to prevent cyber attacks like using complex passwords and encryption are also summarized.
Symmetric encryption uses a shared secret key between the sender and receiver to encrypt and decrypt messages. It is faster than asymmetric encryption but requires secure key exchange. Asymmetric encryption uses separate public and private keys, where the public key is used to encrypt and the private key decrypts, allowing secure communication without pre-shared keys. Common symmetric algorithms are AES and DES, while asymmetric algorithms include RSA, Diffie-Hellman, and ECDSA.

Phishing is a form of hacking that involves using deceptive emails or fake websites to steal user data like login credentials. It works by tricking users into believing they are on legitimate websites by using authentic looking designs. Phishing attacks come in different forms like deceptive, spear, and whaling phishing. Users can protect themselves by being educated on how to identify phishing scams and using security technologies like email filters and firewalls. Organizations should implement layered security and train employees to reduce the impact of phishing attacks.
This document provides an overview of information security. It defines information and discusses its lifecycle and types. It then defines information security and its key components - people, processes, and technology. It discusses threats to information security and introduces ISO 27001, the international standard for information security management. The document outlines ISO 27001's history, features, PDCA process, domains, and some key control clauses around information security policy, organization of information security, asset management, and human resources security.
Brute force attacks try a large number of password combinations to gain unauthorized access to a system. For a 2 character password, there are 3,844 possible guesses using letters, numbers, and case variations. While brute force attacks have a high chance of success due to trying many options, they are also hardware intensive and can take a long time. To prevent brute force cracking, users should make long, random passwords using a variety of characters that are not based on personal details.

Mitigating the Impact of State Management in Cloud Stream Processing SystemsScyllaDB
Stream processing is a crucial component of modern data infrastructure, but constructing an efficient and scalable stream processing system can be challenging. Decoupling compute and storage architecture has emerged as an effective solution to these challenges, but it can introduce high latency issues, especially when dealing with complex continuous queries that necessitate managing extra-large internal states.
In this talk, we focus on addressing the high latency issues associated with S3 storage in stream processing systems that employ a decoupled compute and storage architecture. We delve into the root causes of latency in this context and explore various techniques to minimize the impact of S3 latency on stream processing performance. Our proposed approach is to implement a tiered storage mechanism that leverages a blend of high-performance and low-cost storage tiers to reduce data movement between the compute and storage layers while maintaining efficient processing.
Throughout the talk, we will present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in mitigating the impact of S3 latency on stream processing. By the end of the talk, attendees will have gained insights into how to optimize their stream processing systems for reduced latency and improved cost-efficiency.

The Rise of Supernetwork Data Intensive ComputingLarry Smarr
Invited Remote Lecture to SC21
The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis
St. Louis, Missouri
November 18, 2021
2. What is web security? Almost everything relies on computers and the Internet now communication (email, cell phones) transportation (car engine systems) airplane navigation ) medicine (equipment, medical records) shopping (online stores, credit cards) entertainment (digital cable, mp3s)
3. What is web security? (contd…) Web Security, also known as “Cyber security” involves protecting that information by preventing, detecting, and responding to attacks.
4. What can Web users do? The first step in protecting yourself is to recognize the risks and become familiar with some of the terminology associated with them.
5. Web Security: Terminologies Hacker – people who seek to exploit weaknesses in software and computer systems for their own gain. Viruses – It you to actually do something before it infects your computer. This action could be opening an email attachment or going to a particular web page.
6. Web Security: Terminologies Worms - Worms propagate without user intervention. Once the victim computer has been infected the worm will attempt to find and infect other computers. Trojan horses - A Trojan horse program is software that claims to be one thing while in fact doing something different behind the scenes.
7. Web Security: Terminologies Ransomware A form of trojan that has been around since 1989 (as the “PC CYBORG” trojan) It infects the target computer by encrypting the owner's personal files. The victim is then contacted and offered a key to decrypt the files in exchange for cash
8. Web Security: Terminologies KeyLoggers: Traditionally, Keyloggers are software that monitor user activity such as keys typed using keyboard. Modern keyloggers can, Record keystrokes on keyboard Record mouse movement and clicks Record menus that are invoked Take screenshots of the desktop at predefined intervals (like 1 screenshot every second)
9. Web Security: Terminologies KeyLoggers: (contd…) Such recorded data could be uploaded in real-time or when internet connection becomes available, by, Email attachment IRC Channel File Transfer (FTP)
10. Web Security: Terminologies KeyLoggers: (contd…) Keylogger prevention Use Anti-Spyware (prevention) Firewall (manual detection) Automatic Form fillers (protection from keylogging) In public (insecure) places, -use on-screen keyboards (START-> ALL PROGRAMS ->ACCESSORIES -> ACCESSIBILTY -> ON-SCREEN KEYBOARD)
11. Web Security: Terminologies Firewalls: Mechanism for content regulation and data filtering Blocking unwanted traffic from entering the sub-network (inbound) Preventing subnet users' use of unauthorised material/sites (outbound)
12. Aspects of data Security Privacy Keeping your information private Integrity Knowing that the information has not been changed Authenticity Knowing who sent the information
13. Privacy Your personal details are a valuable asset Businesses are increasingly looking to target individuals more effectively, data about those individuals is in demand Buying and selling lists of email addresses and demographic details is big business
14. Integrity Maintaining the data integrity of any communication is vital. Integrity can be preserved by using strong encryption methods. Even if an intruder see the transmission, it would be useless since its encrypted.
15. Authentication We need to authenticate a message to make sure it was sent by the correct person. Digital signature is used for the purpose Public key , Private key method can also be used to authenticate.
16. Authentication , Continued… Most of us use webmail for email handling. This simple code can send an email, <? php mail(“recipient@yahoo.com”, ”Hi from Bill Gates”, ”Hi, I am Bill gates” , "From: billgates@microsoft.com"); ?>
17. Authentication , Continued… Received email: From: [email_address] To: [email_address] Subject: Hi from Bill Gates Hi, I am Bill gates
18. Authentication , Continued… So, anyone can send email from anyone’s email address Its possible due to the nature of SMTP protocol Yahoo! has implemented DomainKeys, a method to authenticate that an email originated from the sender’s domain.
19. Web Security Issues Malicious websites SPAM 419 Scams Phishing DDOS Botnets (All aspects are inter-related)
20. Malicious websites More than 3 million Web pages on the Internet are malicious. According to Neils Provos, senior staff software engineer with Google, the percent is one in 1,000. The experts call these attacks "drive-by downloads" Malicious websites China - 67% US - 15% Russia - 4% Malaysia - 2.2% Korea - 2%
21. Malicious websites Preventive measures Use latest browser software Internet Explorer version 7+ Mozilla Firefox Opera Internet Explorer 6 is the most vulnerable as well as the most widely used browser. It is highly recommended to upgrade from IE 6
22. SPAM Spam is unsolicited e-mail on the Internet. Spam detection algorithms White listing Black listing Training based algorithms
23. SPAM Cost of spam Loss of productivity is the main concern There is also the cost of bandwidth taken by spam Storage and network infrastructure costs. Loss of legitimate email messages
24. SPAM - Corporate employees are reported to accrue a loss of productivity of 3.1%. - Nucleus Research Analysis - To increase the effectiveness of SPAM detection, always report any SPAM mail to your SPAM filter.
25. 419 Nigerian Scams An advance fee fraud is a confidence trick in which the target is persuaded to advance sums of money in the hope of realizing a very much larger gain The number "419" refers to the article of the Nigerian Criminal Code (“Cheating") dealing with fraud.
26. 419 Nigerian Scams A sample 419 Scam email ------------------------------------- Sender: [email_address] Subject: !!!CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE A WINNER!!! FROM THE LOTTERY PROMOTIONS MANAGER, THE UNITED KINGDOM INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY, PO BOX 287, WATFORD WD18 9TT, UNITED KINGDOM. We are delighted to inform you of your prize release from the United Kingdom International Lottery program. Your name was attached to Ticket number; 47061725, Batch number; 7056490902, Winning number; 07-14-24-37-43-48 bonus number 29, which consequently won the lottery in the first category.... -------------------------------------------
27. 419 Nigerian Scams The email asks to send an advance payment to the lottery so that they can release the prize money. Lots of naive users get fooled by the scammers and end up wasting their money.
28. 419 Nigerian Scams Prevention: Awareness is the only tool against such scammers. Services like 419eater.com has users who pretend to be naive and end up wasting the scammer’s efforts.
29. Phishing This is a method of luring an unsuspecting user into giving out their username and password for a secure web resource, usually a bank or credit card account.
30. Phishing Usually achieved by creating a website identical to the secure site User is sent email requesting them to log in, and providing a link to the bogus site When user logs in, password is stored and used to access the account by the attacker Difficult to guard against, particularly if using HTML email
31. Phishing Phishing Email sample: Subject: Verify your E-mail with Citibank This email was sent by the Citibank server to verify your E-mail address. You must complete this process by clicking on the link below and entering in the small window your Citibank ATM/Debit Card number and PIN that you use on ATM. This is done for your protection - because some of our members no longer have access to their email addresses and we must verify it. To verify your E-mail address and access your bank account, click on the link below: https://web.da-us.citibank.com/signin/citifi/scripts/email_verify.jsp Thank you for using Citibank
32. Phishing The link uses an anchor text, and the actual website opens as, http:// citibusinessonline.da.us.citibank.com.citionline.ru / ... Instead of, http://www.citibank.com/us/index.htm
34. Phishing - Unwitting users submit the data, and the data is captured by scammers and all the money in their account will be stolen immediately. - This method is the main reason for loss of email passwords also.
35. Denial of Service It is an attack to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users. Resources: - Bandwidth & CPU
36. Distributed DOS A powerful variant of DOS attack. -Web server can handle a few hundred connections/sec before performance begins to degrade -Web servers fail almost instantly under five or six thousand connections/sec
37. Distributed DOS - Zombie system is a system that is brought under the attacker’s control by using virus/worm/exploits. - Attack is initiated using compromised Zombie systems. Very hard to prevent, since large number of zombie systems will be used.
38. Botnets A botnet is a collection of compromised computers (called zombie computers) running programs Usually installed via worms, Trojan horses, or backdoors, Under a common command and control infrastructure.
40. Botnets 1.A botnet operator sends out viruses or worms, infecting ordinary users' computers, whose payload is a malicious application -- the bot. 2.The bot on the infected PC logs into a particular IRC server (or in some cases a web server). That server is known as the command-and-control server (C&C). 3.A spammer purchases access to the botnet from the operator. 4.The spammer sends instructions via the IRC server to the infected PCs causing them to send out spam messages to mail servers.
41. Botnets A botnet's originator (aka "bot herder") can control the group remotely, usually through a means such as IRC. A botnet is more power than a supercomputer in terms of its processing capacity. As of 2007, the average size of a botnet was estimated at 20,000 computers, although larger networks continued to operate.
42. Botnet Case Study STORM BOTNET The Storm botnet is a remotely-controlled network of "zombie" computers (or "botnet") that has been linked by the Storm Worm, a Trojan horse spread through e-mail spam. Sources have placed the size of the Storm botnet to be around 250,000 to 1 million compromised systems.
43. Botnet Case Study STORM BOTNET Detected in January 2007 1.2 billion virus messages have been sent by the botnet till September 2007 The Storm botnet has been used in a variety of criminal activities. Its controllers, and the authors of the Storm Worm, have not yet been identified.
44. Botnet Case Study STORM BOTNET The botnet has specifically attacked the online operations of some security vendors and researchers who attempted to investigate the botnet The botnet reportedly is powerful enough as of September 2007 to force entire countries off the Internet, The Storm botnet's operators control the system via peer-to-peer techniques, making external monitoring and disabling of the system more difficult There is no central "command-and-control point" in the Storm botnet that can be shut down
45. Botnet Case Study STORM BOTNET Action plan: Microsoft update to the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) may have helped reduce the size of the botnet by up to 20%. But, most of the Windows systems are not configured for Automatic updates. Consider our country as example, where most home users use pirated copies of windows. Pirated copies will get disabled when updated online,becasue of Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) program.
46. More Botnets Name Size Spam sent / day SRIZBO 315,000 60 billion BOBAX 185,000 9 billion RUSTOCK 150,000 30 billion CUTWAIL 125,000 16 billion GRUM 50,000 2 billion OZDOK 35,000 10 billion NUCRYPT 20,000 5 billion WOPLA 20,000 600 million SPAMTHRU 12,000 350 million
47. Botnet Attacks Example 1: Cyber Assault on Estonia Estonia is a small and one of the most internet enabled country in Europe.
48. Botnet Attacks Example 1: It was attacked by a massive DDOS attempt on May 2007. Attacked sectors include government banks telecommunications companies Internet service providers news organizations
49. Botnet Attacks Example 1: Attack effectively shut down email systems and online banking. Attack originated from Russia after Russian govt got angry with Estonia for relocating a Soviet war memorial. More than a million zombie computers made the attack possible.
50. Botnet Attacks Example 2: April 23, 2008 Slideshare is a service that lets you upload and embed PowerPoint presentations on the web. There were several presentations relating to corruption in the chinese government. Chinese authorities requested those slides to be removed.
51. Botnet Attacks Example 2: April 23, 2008 Slideshare was down for a few days due to DDOS attack that originated from China. The attack reached a peak of 2.5GB/sec and consisted entirely of packets sent from China SlideShare insists that it will do everything it can to protect its users’ freedom of speech. As such, it has no plans to remove any of the content in question.
52. Botnet Attacks In both examples, botnets were the main attack vehicles. There are several more examples. So, Cyber wars <= DDOS <=Botnets <=Virus/Worm <= Ignorant web user
53. Take Action If everyone keep their systems secure, such threats can never happen. Small gestures can avoid gigantic problems in our context.
54. Action Plan Use Anti-virus Use Anti-Spyware Be aware not to fall for scams and phishing attacks Report SPAM
