Cyber Epidemic Models with Dependences
Maochao Xu, Gaofeng Da, Shouhuai Xu
Studying models of cyber epidemics over arbitrary complex networks can deepen our understanding of cyber security from a whole-system perspective. In this paper, we initiate the in…
A New Approach to Modeling and Analyzing Security of Networked Systems
Gaofeng Da, Maochao Xu, Shouhuai Xu
Modeling and analyzing security of networked systems is an important problem in the emerging Science of Security and has been under active investigation. In this paper, we propose…
An Extended Stochastic Model for Quantitative Security Analysis of Networked Systems
Maochao Xu, Shouhuai Xu
Quantitative security analysis of networked computer systems is one of the decades-long open problems in computer security. Recently, a promising approach was proposed in \cite{XuT…
A Characterization of Cybersecurity Posture from Network Telescope Data
Zhenxin Zhan, Maochao Xu, Shouhuai Xu
Data-driven understanding of cybersecurity posture is an important problem that has not been adequately explored. In this paper, we analyze some real data collected by CAIDA's netw…
Characterizing Honeypot-Captured Cyber Attacks: Statistical Framework and Case Study
Zhenxin Zhan, Maochao Xu, Shouhuai Xu
Rigorously characterizing the statistical properties of cyber attacks is an important problem. In this paper, we propose the {\em first} statistical framework for rigorously analyz…
Predicting Cyber Attack Rates with Extreme Values
Zhenxin Zhan, Maochao Xu, Shouhuai Xu
It is important to understand to what extent, and in what perspectives, cyber attacks can be predicted. Despite its evident importance, this problem was not investigated until very…
