Today, the Internet security community largely emphasizes cyberspace monitoring for the
purpose of generating cyber intelligence. In this paper, we present a survey on darknet. The …

Protocol reverse engineering, the process of extracting the application-level protocol used
by an implementation, without access to the protocol specification, is important for many …

Application-level protocol specifications are useful for many security applications, including
intrusion prevention and detection that performs deep packet inspection and traffic …

In recent years, the emerging Internet-of-Things (IoT) has led to concerns about the security
of networked embedded devices. There is a strong need to develop suitable and …

Protocol reverse engineering is the process of extracting application-level specifications for
network protocols. Such specifications are very useful in a number of security-related …

Automatic protocol reverse-engineering is important for many security applications,
including the analysis and defense against botnets. Understanding the command-and …

Protocol reverse engineering has often been a manual process that is considered time-
consuming, tedious and error-prone. To address this limitation, a number of solutions have …

The security of network services and their protocols critically depends on minimizing their
attack surface. A single flaw in an implementation can suffice to compromise a service and …

Recent work has established the importance of automatic reverse engineering of protocol or
