Abstract Shodan has been acknowledged as one of the most popular search engines available today, designed to crawl Internet and index discovered services. This paper expands features exposed by with advanced vulnerability assessment capabilities embedded into a novel tool called Shodan‐based (ShoVAT). ShoVAT takes output traditional queries performs an in‐depth analysis service‐specific data, that is, service banners. It embodies specially crafted algorithms which rely on in‐memory data...
Modern Networked Critical Infrastructures (NCI), involving cyber and physical systems, are exposed to intelligent attacks targeting the stable operation of these systems. In order ensure anomaly awareness, observed data can be used in accordance with mining techniques develop Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) or Anomaly (ADS). There is an increase volume sensor generated by both sensors, so there a need apply Big Data technologies for real-time analysis large sets. this paper, we propose...
Internet is considered a Critical Infrastructure (CI) that vital for both the economy and society. Disruptions caused by natural disasters, malicious human actions even hardware failure pose serious risks. Emulation testbeds are increasingly used to study in order improve protection response mechanisms. These frequently more adequate than software simulators realistically recreate complex behavior of networks. In this paper we how based on Emulab can be conduct scientifically rigorous...
Recent malware, like Stuxnet and Flame, constitute a major threat to networked critical infrastructures (NCIs), e.g., power plants. They revealed several vulnerabilities in today's NCIs, but most importantly they highlighted the lack of an efficient scientific approach conduct experiments that measure impact cyber threats on both physical parts NCIs. In this paper, we present EPIC, novel cyber-physical testbed, modern instrument can provide accurate assessments effects cyber-attacks may have...
Modern Process Control Systems (PCS) exhibit an increasing trend towards the pervasive adoption of commodity, off-the-shelf Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). This has brought significant economical operational benefits, but it also shifted architecture PCS from a completely isolated environment to open, "system systems" integration with traditional ICT systems, susceptible computer attacks. In this paper we present novel approach detect cyber attacks targeting measurements...
The pervasive adoption of traditional information and communication technologies hardware software in industrial control systems (ICS) has given birth to a unique technological ecosystem encapsulating variety objects ranging from sensors actuators video surveillance cameras generic PCs. Despite their invaluable advantages, these advanced ICS create new design challenges, which expose them significant cyber threats. To address an innovative network technique is proposed this paper harmonize...
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) have been designed to perform a more agile and efficient automation, control, orchestration future industrial systems while improving the energy efficiency in smart factories. Unfortunately, benefits IIoT are undeniable, their pervasive adoption as key enablers for industries also paved way new security risks. In fact, damaging effects exploiting vulnerable repeatedly demonstrated publicly reported. Mirai botnet, various reports on hackable invasive...

The fourth industrial revolution, also known as Industry 4.0, brings many advantages including innovative applications and services, new technologies advanced features, increased operational benefits, reduced installation costs. However, this technological advancement exposes several challenges pertaining to the development of cyber-physical architectures, resilient communication systems, secure data exchange. This paper develops a systematic methodology for designing intrusion detection...
Modern Industrial Control Systems (ICS) integrate advanced solutions from the field of traditional IP networks, i.e., Software-Defined Networks (SDN), in order to increase security and resilience communication infrastructures. Despite their clear advantages, such also expose ICS common cyber threats that may have a dramatic impact on functioning critical infrastructures, e.g., power grid. As response these issues, this work develops novel hierarchical SDN control plane for ICS. The approach...
