    Partial Evaluation of String Obfuscations for Java Malware Detection

    Get PDF
    The fact that Java is platform independent gives hackers the opportunity to write exploits that can target users on any platform, which has a JVM implementation. Metasploit is a well-known source of Javaexploits and to circumvent detection by Anti Virus (AV) software, obfuscation techniques are routinely applied to make an exploit more difficult to recognise. Popular obfuscation techniques for Java include stringobfuscation and applying reflection to hide method calls; two techniques that can either be used together or independently. This paper shows how to apply partial evaluation to remove these obfuscations and thereby improve AV matching. The paper presents a partial evaluator for Jimple, which is an intermediate language for JVM bytecode designed for optimisation and program analysis, and demonstrates how partially evaluated Jimple code, when transformed back into Java, improves the detection rates of a number of commercial AV products

    The application of treatment T3 (Glomus mosseae + 100 % RDF NK) produced significantly more root volume by 72.60 %, 17.80 %, 12.25 %, 14.13 % over the application of treatment T1 (Control), treatment T5 (Glomus coronatum+ 100 % RDF NK), T6 (Gigasporadecipein + 100 % RDF NK) and T7 (BAU AM-1(Glomus sp + 100 % RDF NK), respectively. Similar trend shows at harvesting stage, here the maximum root volume (23c.c) was recorded by the application of T3 (Glomus mosseae + 100 % RDF NK). Maximum AM colonization and spore count was observed at panicle initiation stage with the application of treatment T3 (Glomus mosseae + 100 % RDF NK). This treatment also gave maximum dehydrogenase activity (55.86 µg TPF g-1 24 hr-1), acid phosphatase activity (0.299 mg PNP g-1 hr-1) and alkaline phosphatase activity (0.54 mg PNP g-1 hr-1) at panicle initiation stage. Application of treatment T3 (Glomus mosseae + 100 % RDF NK) significantly increased DTPA extractable Zn in soil and Zn content in plant when compared with all the treatments except treatment T6 (Gigasporadecipien+ 100 % RDF NK). The maximum zinc uptake (0.056 mg pot-1) by grain was recorded under treatment T3 (Glomus mosseae + 100 % RDF NK) followed by application of treatment T6 (Gigasporadecipien + 100 % N and K). Highest grain yield (14.08 g pot-1) was found with the treatment T3 (Glomus mosseae + 100 % RDF NK). As evident from the results, the AM fungal inoculation can effectively modify the soil microbe population and community structure by increasing the soil enzymatic activities and significantly increased the zinc uptake by grain in direct seeded rice (DSR)

    Natural gas contains high amounts of impurities that are important to remove for commercial usage. One of these impurities are known to be carbon dioxide and it is the main culprit in degrading the gas. It reduces the energy content of natural gas has as well as speeds up corrosion in pipelines and equipment. There are several methods in the removal of this gas one being chemical absorption where the usage of amines are incorporated. In this project, kinetics modelling of blended amine solution of aqueous N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) and diethanolamine (DEA) were studied where its behavior was simulated using MATLAB. Determining the reaction rate kinetics and the equilibrium constants enabled us the determination of liquid bulk concentration for the overall system. The kinetics at five different temperatures were observed; 303K, 308K, 313K, 318K and 323K for blended amine solution of different MDEA concentrations (1.0 and 1.5 kmol/m3) and DEA concentrations (0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 kmol/m3). The Arrhenius relation, activation energy and reaction rate coefficients were obtained showed promising results at three different randomly selected temperatures; 303K, 308K and 323K, where the condition is at its best at 323K at 0.999952193kmol/m3 of MDEA concentration and 0.999912787kmol/ m3 of DEA concentration. This concludes that the kinetic model developed is valid thus can be further enhanced using different and more sophisticated software to ensure best operating conditions for the solution
