Most network attackers perform port scanning individually, without synchronization, to find victim hosts. Such port scanning schemes suffer from two problems: first, there are too many duplicate scannings and too much contention among different port scanners; second, a complete port scanning takes a long time to finish. In this paper, we present a fast DHT-based collaborative port scanning sche...

Due to its high capital investment, operating and maintenance cost, a port should be managed as efficiently as possible. Learning from the best practices ports operating under similar conditions is a very useful strategy for maintaining competiveness. Under such a competitive environment, port performance measurement is not only a powerful management tool for port operations, but also constitut...

BACKGROUND single-port laparoscopic surgery has gained popularity over the last decade. This technique is used for several surgical procedures. This paper documents a new and cheaper access method known as "surgical glove port" or "homemade single-port", and describes our initial experience with 25 cases. METHOD Eleven cholecystectomies, eight totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repairs, ...

Port Knocking is an important concept to secure services provided by the servers. By a predefined port knocking sequence server identify whether the request is a legitimate request for a service. This paper presents an analyzing the network security concept of Port Knocking and assesses their suitability as firewall authentication mechanisms for opening network ports or performing certain actio...

BACKGROUND For many years, subcutaneous therapeutic port system was known as a major route to access central veins. However, significant complications have been reported through recent years. One of the most important complications of subcutaneous port implantation is skin necrosis. In order to decrease this complication, we would like to introduce subpectoral fascia port implantation through t...

The main objective of this work is to develop and evaluate the performance of a new PK technique, which can avert all types of port attacks and meets all network security requirements. The new technique utilizes three wellknown concepts, these are: port-knocking (PK), steganography, and mutual authentication, therefore, it is referred to as the hybrid port-knocking (HPK) technique. It can be us...

INTRODUCTION Indigenous children in Australia have higher dental caries levels than their non-Indigenous counterparts. Indigenous communities in South Australia's mid-north region have identified dental health as one of their top health priorities. In response to this, an oral health program based at the Pika Wiya Health Service in Port Augusta was established, with a dentist providing care for...
