Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) are used to detect and block attacks against vulnerable web applications. They distinguish benign requests from rogue requests using a set of filter rules. We present a new timing side channel attack that an attacker can use to remotely distinguish passed requests from requests that the WAF blocked. The attack works also for transparent WAFs that do not leave an...

Understanding and consuming public budget data is a key issue, helping citizens in gaining insight into their democratic political systems. The goal of this work to present Waffster, user-friendly representation supporting the understanding such data. proposed enables browsing, searching, comparing, presenting hierarchically arranged components quantities budgets.

High value devices used in microwave modules and other microelectronic assemblies have become increasingly thin susceptible to “Component Out Of Pocket” (COOP) conditions that can occur during packaging, shipping, customer handling. This defect condition is especially problematic for automated assembly which strives be touch-free efficient with orderly device presentation. COOP a major contribu...

For this experiment, two groups of paid volunteers, aged 18-34, provided written quantitative and qualitative data on preferences between waffle fries (test) and potato wedges (control). Each participant provided demographic information and then answered a series of questions, using a hedonic rating scale or by composing a written response.

In this work, we analyze the influence of masonry infill walls on the seismic performance of waffle slabs reinforced concrete (RC) framed structures. We analyze buildings of three, five and eight storeys, which are representative for a big number of housings in Barcelona, Spain. Capacity spectra have been obtained by performing pushover analyses and we have used a simplified procedure to obtain...
