Test of Time Paper Award at ACSAC’23

Posted on December 7, 2023 by guofei

Our ACSAC’07 paper “A Taxonomy of Botnet Structures” (by David Dagon, Guofei Gu, Christopher P. Lee, and Wenke Lee) received the Test of Time Paper Award at this year’s ACSAC conference (2023)! We are so honored and humbled to receive this recognition for our botnet research in 2007!

Some background on the award from ACSAC: “These awards provide an opportunity to honor papers that have been published at ACSAC that have had enduring significance and impact to the security community. The committee considered papers published more than 15 years ago, and discussed their impact on academia, industry, and government. “

New software-defined programmable security research “Cerberus” will appear in IEEE S&P’24

Posted on August 30, 2023 by guofei

Our new research work “Cerberus” in the area of SPS (Software-defined Programmable Security) is accepted by IEEE S&P’24. This work shows that even with limited resources on existing programmable switches, we can now run multiple concurrent in-network security monitoring tasks so we can defend against diverse, high-volume, and dynamic attacks previous solutions could not handle. Cerberus can actually enhance the concurrency and capacity of programmable switches by an order of magnitude! We’ll release our prototype very soon. Congratulations again for the amazing work, Huancheng!

We are releasing SysFlow: the first programmable zero trust (ZT) framework for system security!

Posted on April 5, 2023 by guofei

Our SysFlow work will appear in IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security (TIFS) 2023. SysFlow is the first programmable zero trust (ZT) framework for system security! It presents a novel system security development framework for programmable ZT security control of host system activities at runtime. It offers unprecedented and unified programmability for users to achieve their dynamic security needs. Read our paper (here) and try to use our prototype system here. Now you can build your own security applications on top of that!
