Network Forensics (NFs) is a branch of digital forensics which used to detect and capture potential digital crimes over computer networked environments crime. Network Forensic Tools (NFTs) and Network Forensic Processes (NFPs) have abilities to examine networks, collect all normal and abnormal traffic/data, help in network incident analysis, and assist in creating an appropriate incident detection and reaction and also create a forensic hypothesis that can be used in a court of law. Also, it assists in examining the internal incidents and exploitation of assets, attack goals, executes threat evaluation, also by evaluating network performance. According to existing literature, there exist quite a number of NFTs and NTPs that are used for identification, collection, reconstruction, and analysing the chain of incidents that happen on networks. However, they were vary and differ in their roles and functionalities. The main objective of this paper, therefore, is to assess and see the distinction that exist between Network Forensic Tools (NFTs) and Network Forensic Processes (NFPs). Precisely, this paper focuses on comparing among four famous NFTs: Xplico, OmniPeek, NetDetector, and NetIetercept. The outputs of this paper show that the Xplico tool has abilities to identify, collect, reconstruct, and analyse the chain of incidents that happen on networks than other NF tools.

Internet of Things is revolutionizing the current era with its vast usage in number of fields such as medicine, automation, home security, smart cities, etc. As these IoT devices uses are increasing, the threat to its security and to its application
protocols are also increasing. Traffic passing over these protocol if intercepted, could reveal sensitive information and result in taking control of the entire IoT network. Scope of this paper is limited to MQTT protocol. MQTT (MQ Telemetry Transport) is a light weight protocol used for communication between IoT devices. There are multiple brokers as well as clients available for publishing and subscribing to services. For security purpose, it is essential to secure the traffic, broker and end client application. This paper demonstrates extraction of sensitive data from the devices which are running broker and client application.
Penetration testing is a well-established practical concept for the identification of potentially exploitable security weaknesses and an important component of a security audit. Providing a holistic security assessment for networks consisting of seve
ral hundreds hosts is hardly feasible though without some sort of mechanization. Mitigation, prioritizing counter-measures subject to a given budget, currently lacks a solid theoretical understanding and is hence more art than science. In this work, we propose the first approach for conducting comprehensive what-if analyses in order to reason about mitigation in a conceptually well-founded manner. To evaluate and compare mitigation strategies, we use simulated penetration testing, i.e., automated attack-finding, based on a network model to which a subset of a given set of mitigation actions, e.g., changes to the network topology, system updates, configuration changes etc. is applied. Using Stackelberg planning, we determine optimal combinations that minimize the maximal attacker success (similar to a Stackelberg game), and thus provide a well-founded basis for a holistic mitigation strategy. We show that these Stackelberg planning models can largely be derived from network scan, public vulnerability databases and manual inspection with various degrees of automation and detail, and we simulate mitigation analysis on networks of different size and vulnerability.
Security metrics present the security level of a system or a network in both qualitative and quantitative ways. In general, security metrics are used to assess the security level of a system and to achieve security goals. There are a lot of security
metrics for security analysis, but there is no systematic classification of security metrics that are based on network reachability information. To address this, we propose a systematic classification of existing security metrics based on network reachability information. Mainly, we classify the security metrics into host-based and network-based metrics. The host-based metrics are classified into metrics ``without probability and with probability, while the network-based metrics are classified into path-based and non-path based. Finally, we present and describe an approach to develop composite security metrics and its calculations using a Hierarchical Attack Representation Model (HARM) via an example network. Our novel classification of security metrics provides a new methodology to assess the security of a system.
Visualization is a useful technology in health science, and especially for community network analysis. Because visualization applications in healthcare are typically risk-averse, health psychologists can play a significant role in ensuring appropriat
e and effective uses of visualization techniques in healthcare. In this paper, we examine the role of health psychologists in the triangle of health science, visualization technology, and visualization psychology. We conclude that health psychologists can use visualization to aid data intelligence workflows in healthcare and health psychology, while researching into visualization psychology to aid the improvement and optimization of data visualization processes.
Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) protocols allow a group of replicas to come to a consensus even when some of the replicas are Byzantine faulty. There exist multiple BFT protocols to securely tolerate an optimal number of faults $t$ under different net
work settings. However, if the number of faults $f$ exceeds $t$ then security could be violated. In this paper we mathematically formalize the study of forensic support of BFT protocols: we aim to identify (with cryptographic integrity) as many of the malicious replicas as possible and in as a distributed manner as possible. Our main result is that forensic support of BFT protocols depends heavily on minor implementation details that do not affect the protocols security or complexity. Focusing on popular BFT protocols (PBFT, HotStuff, Algorand) we exactly characterize their forensic support, showing that there exist minor variants of each protocol for which the forensic supports vary widely. We show strong forensic support capability of LibraBFT, the consensus protocol of Diem cryptocurrency; our lightweight forensic module implemented on a Diem client is open-sourced and is under active consideration for deployment in Diem. Finally, we show that all secure BFT protocols designed for $2t+1$ replicas communicating over a synchronous network forensic support are inherently nonexistent; this impossibility result holds for all BFT protocols and even if one has access to the states of all replicas (including Byzantine ones).
