Interested in figuring out how stuxnet infiltrated the defenses of Iranian facilities? Do you want to learn the tools of the next frontier of warfare? Are you excited to explore the possibility of developing system that can provide defense for such attacks? If you are and have the qualifications that we require, we would welcome you in our Botnet Security Research group (BSG) established as collaboration between the SysNet and Wisnet Lab at FAST-NUCES and NUST-SEECS, respectively. This project also includes MicroNet/Nayatel as our industrial partner and we plan on developing a prototype solution that can be deployed on their premises.
We have recently won research funding for the project titled "Design and prototyping of a Software-defined network architecture to detect and prevent real-time botnet attacks" from ICTRDF. We will be designing a system that can detect malicious activity, in network, and respond to it in the least invasive mechanism, by employing a distributed solution spanning both home/office and ISP networks. This project requires skills in developing detection algorithms and distributed system knowledge and experience. We plan to publish our research in the top quality security (ICC, RAID, DIMVA) and networking (SIGCOMM, USENIX) conferences and journals and have potential of collaboration with researchers at UC Berkeley, Stanford, and Georgia Tech.
We plan to actively hire now, with details for the positions available at the project website http://www.isb.nu.edu.pk/sysnet/bsg/index.html.
Thank you.
