Md Abu Sayed, Asif Rahman, Ahmed Hemida +2
This paper explores coordinated deception strategies by synchronizing defenses across coupled cyber and physical systems to mislead attackers and strengthen defense mechanisms. We…
MAD-OOD: A Deep Learning Cluster-Driven Framework for an Out-of-Distribution Malware Detection and Classification
Tosin Ige, Christopher Kiekintveld, Aritran Piplai +3
Out of distribution (OOD) detection remains a critical challenge in malware classification due to the substantial intra family variability introduced by polymorphic and metamorphic…
Fine-tuning Large Language Models for DGA and DNS Exfiltration Detection
Md Abu Sayed, Asif Rahman, Christopher Kiekintveld +1
Domain Generation Algorithms (DGAs) are malicious techniques used by malware to dynamically generate seemingly random domain names for communication with Command & Control (C&C) se…
