Like a Hammer, It Can Build, It Can Break: Large Language Model Uses, Perceptions, and Adoption in Cybersecurity Operations on Reddit
Souradip Nath, Chih-Yi Huang, Aditi Ganapathi +3
Large language models (LLMs) have recently emerged as promising tools for augmenting Security Operations Center (SOC) workflows, with vendors increasingly marketing autonomous AI s…
Before the Vicious Cycle Starts: Preventing Burnout Across SOC Roles Through Flow-Aligned Design
Kashyap Thimmaraju, Duc Anh Hoang, Souradip Nath +2
The sustainability of Security Operations Centers depends on their people, yet 71% of practitioners report burnout and 24% plan to exit cybersecurity entirely. Flow theory suggests…
Stop Testing Attacks, Start Diagnosing Defenses: The Four-Checkpoint Framework Reveals Where LLM Safety Breaks
Hayfa Dhahbi, Kashyap Thimmaraju
Large Language Models (LLMs) deploy safety mechanisms to prevent harmful outputs, yet these defenses remain vulnerable to adversarial prompts. While existing research demonstrates…
The Silicon Psyche: Anthropomorphic Vulnerabilities in Large Language Models
Giuseppe Canale, Kashyap Thimmaraju
Large Language Models (LLMs) are rapidly transitioning from conversational assistants to autonomous agents embedded in critical organizational functions, including Security Operati…
I DPID It My Way! A Covert Timing Channel in Software-Defined Networks
Robert Krösche, Kashyap Thimmaraju, Liron Schiff +1
Software-defined networking is considered a promising new paradigm, enabling more reliable and formally verifiable communication networks. However, this paper shows that the separa…
MTS: Bringing Multi-Tenancy to Virtual Networking
Kashyap Thimmaraju, Saad Hermak, Gábor Rétvári +1
Multi-tenant cloud computing provides great benefits in terms of resource sharing, elastic pricing, and scalability, however, it also changes the security landscape and introduces…
Towards an Insightful Computer Security Seminar
Kashyap Thimmaraju, Julian Fietkau, Fatemeh Ganji
In this paper we describe our experience in designing and evaluating our graduate level computer security seminar course. In particular, our seminar is designed with two goals in m…
Towards Fine-Grained Billing For Cloud Networking
Kashyap Thimmaraju, Stefan Schmid
We revisit multi-tenant network virtualization in data centers, and make the case for tenant-specific virtual switches. In particular, tenant-specific virtual switches allow cloud…
Software-Defined Adversarial Trajectory Sampling
Kashyap Thimmaraju, Liron Schiff, Stefan Schmid
Today's routing protocols critically rely on the assumption that the underlying hardware is trusted. Given the increasing number of attacks on network devices, and recent reports o…
Outsmarting Network Security with SDN Teleportation
Kashyap Thimmaraju, Liron Schiff, Stefan Schmid
Software-defined networking is considered a promising new paradigm, enabling more reliable and formally verifiable communication networks. However, this paper shows that the separa…
Reins to the Cloud: Compromising Cloud Systems via the Data Plane
Kashyap Thimmaraju, Bhargava Shastry, Tobias Fiebig +4
Virtual switches have become popular among cloud operating systems to interconnect virtual machines in a more flexible manner. However, this paper demonstrates that virtual switche…
Routing-Verification-as-a-Service (RVaaS): Trustworthy Routing Despite Insecure Providers
Liron Schiff, Kashyap Thimmaraju, Stefan Schmid
Computer networks today typically do not provide any mechanisms to the users to learn, in a reliable manner, which paths have (and have not) been taken by their packets. Rather, it…
