Using Evolutionary Learning of Behavior to Find Weaknesses in Operating Systems

چکیده
System security is an ongoing struggle between system designers and the hacking community. Human creativity within this community pushes software into areas never anticipated by the designers, thus revealing weaknesses. Evolutionary algorithms offer designers a new way to examine the viability of their code. Because of the use of randomness as well as direction based on evaluation, these algorithms help to simulate some aspects of the human creative process. In this work we show that already rather simple evolutionary searches allow us to find weaknesses in an operating system, a Linux version, resulting in a crash of the system and the necessity to reboot – a serious system flaw and

Novel Radial Basis Function Neural Networks based on Probabilistic Evolutionary and Gaussian Mixture Model for Satellites Optimum Selection
In this study, two novel learning algorithms have been applied on Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) to approximate the functions with high non-linear order. The Probabilistic Evolutionary (PE) and Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) techniques are proposed to significantly minimize the error functions. The main idea is concerning the various strategies to optimize the procedure of Gradient ...
متن کاملA hybridization of evolutionary fuzzy systems and ant Colony optimization for intrusion detection
A hybrid approach for intrusion detection in computer networks is presented in this paper. The proposed approach combines an evolutionary-based fuzzy system with an Ant Colony Optimization procedure to generate high-quality fuzzy-classification rules. We applied our hybrid learning approach to network security and validated it using the DARPA KDD-Cup99 benchmark data set. The results indicate t...

متن کاملEvolutionary User Clustering Based on Time-Aware Interest Changes in the Recommender System
The plenty of data on the Internet has created problems for users and has caused confusion in finding the proper information. Also, users' tastes and preferences change over time. Recommender systems can help users find useful information. Due to changing interests, systems must be able to evolve. In order to solve this problem, users are clustered that determine the most desirable users, it pa...
متن کاملPMU Placement Methods in Power Systems based on Evolutionary Algorithms and GPS Receiver
In this paper, optimal placement of Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) using Global Positioning System (GPS) is discussed. Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), Simulated Annealing (SA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) are used for this problem. Pheromone evaporation coefficient and the probability of moving from state x to state y by ant are introduced into the ACO. The modifi...
