Protecting the Internet of Things from botnets is nothing to sniff at
9 February, 2023
The development and deployment of various internet of things (IoT) devices in homes has increased the risks to home networks with such devices inadvertently opening loopholes that could allow fraudsters and others to gain access to the devices themselves, but more worryingly to other devices such as tablet and desktop computers, smartphones, and smart media devices connected to the same home network. The problem is discussed by a team from India in the International Journal of Sensor Networks. N.D. Patel and B.M. Mehtre of the Institute for Development and Research in Banking Technology (IDRBT) and Rajeev Wankar of the University of Hyderabad, India, explain how cybercrime is on the rise and to some degree this is being driven by the advent of the IoT. The team cites the Mirai-BotNet, which infected and took control of many IoT devices and routers, creating a network of robots that can be controlled remotely. Such a botnet of zombie computers and devices can be used to cause problems for other systems, such as distributed denial of service (dDoS) attacks. dDoS attacks in turn can be used to overwhelm a network and its security systems allowing a malicious third party to wheedle their way into the system and steal data or tamper with the systems that depend on the network [...]
More details...AI unmasks PPE failures
4 April, 2023
Writing in the International Journal of Sensor Networks, a team from China has developed a system based on machine learning that can detect whether personnel are wearing the requisite PPE. The approach uses deep neural networks (DNNs) to carry out object detection in real scenarios. Jianlou Lou, Xiangyu Li, Guang Huo, Feng Liang, Zhaoyang Qu, and Ndagijimana Kwihangano Soleil of the Northeast Electric Power University in Jilin and Tianrui Lou of Guangzhou University have used two novel modules, the Deformable and Attention Residual with 50 layers (DAR50) feature extraction module, and the Criss-Cross Feature Pyramid Network (CCFPN) feature fusion module, in order to address the two key problems that have so far limited performance in PPE detection. They have thus overcome the issues of interference from background information and detection target scales that vary in size [...]
