This master thesis analyses and investigates how to speed up the deployment of a suite of services to a Platform as a Service. The project use IBM’s Cloud Pak for Applications together with Red Hats OpenShift to provide insights on important factors that influences the deployment process. In this thesis, a modification was done on the installer such that the deployment instructions were sent in parallel instead of sequentially. Except for the parallel suggestion, this thesis also investigates different options on how constraints could be applied to the CPU and what the consequences are. At the end of this report, the reader will also see how the deployment times are affected by cluster scaling. An implementation of the parallel deployment showed that the installation time of Cloud Pak for Applications could be decreased. It was also shown that the CPU was not utilized fully and that there exists significant CPU saturation during the deployment. The evaluation of the scaling analysis showed that, in regards of this thesis, it is more beneficial both timewise and cost-wise to scale horizontally rather than vertically.

Full textAbstract:
As cyber attacks are an ever-increasing threat to many organizations, the need for controlled environments where cyber security defenses can be tested against real-world attacks is increasing. These environments, called cyber ranges, exist across the world for both military and academic purposes of various scales. As the function of a cyber range involves having a set of computers, virtual or physical, that can be configured to replicate a corporate network or an industrial control system, having an automated method of configuring these can streamline the process of performing different exercises. This thesis aims to provide a proof of concept of how the installation of software with known vulnerabilities can be performed and examines if the software is vulnerable directly after installation. The Cyber Range And Training Environment (CRATE) developed by the Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI) is used as a testbed for the installations and FOI-provided tools are used for launching automated attacks against the installed software. The results show that installations can be performed without Internet access and with minimal network traffic being generated and that our solution can rewrite existing software packages from the package manager Chocolatey to work with an on-premises repository with an 85% success rate. It is also shown that very few publicly available exploits succeed without any manual configuration of either the exploit or the targeted software. Our work contributes to making it easier to set up environments where cyber security research and training can be conducted by simplifying the process of installing vulnerable applications.

Full textAbstract:
The installation process for afloat systems is very stringent. This rigor is necessary to ensure the Warfighters can fully utilize the functionality provided by information technology (IT) aboard a ship, especially when underway -- removed from most technical support and assistance. However, this rigor also increases the difficulty of executing an afloat installation. The purpose of this thesis is to document the lessons learned from the installation of the Ocean Surveillance Information System (OSIS) Evolutionary Development (OED) on board the USS Blue Ridge (LCC-19). OED is an ashore multi-level secure (MLS) command and control and intelligence (C2I) computer system that is fielded at the Joint Intelligence Centers and Joint Analysis Centers. The MLS aspect of OED allows the operator to view and add value to data from multiple security domains on one workstation. In the space, weight, and power (SWAP) constrained environment of a ship, this technology is very advantageous. Since OED is an ashore system, this afloat installation presented a number of challenges and a unique perspective into the installation process. This thesis documents these challenges, how they were overcome and provides future installers recommendations to improve the planning of future afloat installations.

Isaia, Philippos. "Improving the performance of software-defined networks using dynamic flow installation and management techniques." Thesis, Loughborough University, 2018. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/33329.
Full textAbstract:
As computer networks evolve, they become more complex, introducing several challenges in the areas of performance and management. Such problems can lead to stagnation in network innovation. Software Defined Networks (SDN) framework could be one of the best candidates for improving and revolutionising networking by giving the full control to the network administrators to implement new management and performance optimisation techniques. This thesis examines performance issues faced in SDN due to the introduction of the SDN Controller. These issues include the extra delay due to the round-trip time between the switch and the controller as well as the fact that some packets arrive at the destination out-of-order. We propose a novel dynamic flow installation and management algorithm (OFPE) using the SDN protocol OpenFlow, which preserves the controller to a non-overloaded CPU state and allow it to dynamically add and adjust flow table rules to reduce packet delay and out-of-order packets. In addition, we propose OFPEX, an extension to OFPE algorithm that includes techniques for managing multi-switch environments as well as methods that make use of the packets interarrival time in categorising and serving packet flows. Such techniques allow topology awareness, helping the controller to install flow table rules in such a way to form optimal routes for high priority flows thus increasing network performance. For the performance evaluation of the proposed algorithms, both hardware testbed as well as emulation experiments have been conducted. The performance results indicate that OFPE algorithm achieves a significant enhancement in performance in the form of reduced delay by up to 92.56% (depending on the scenario), reduced packet loss by up to 55.32% and reduced out-of-order packets by up to 69.44%. Furthermore, we propose a novel placement algorithm for distributed Mininet implementations which uses weights in order to distribute the experiment components to the appropriately distributed machines. The proposed algorithm uses static code analysis in order to examine the experimental code as well as it measures the capabilities of physical components in order to create a weights table which is then used to distribute the experiment components properly. The performance results of the proposed algorithm evaluation indicated reductions in delay and packet loss of up to 65.51% and 86.35% respectively, as well as a decrease in the standard deviation of CPU usage by up to 88.63%. These results indicate that the proposed algorithm distributes the experiment components evenly across the available resources. Finally, we propose a series of Benchmarking tests that can be used to rate all the available SDN experimental platforms. These tests allow the selection of the appropriate experimental platform according to the scenario needs as well as they indicate the resources needed by each platform.

Full textAbstract:
Afin de dissuader les eventuels detournements de matieres nucleaires, un inspecteur est charge d'effectuer un certain nombre d'inspections dans une installation nucleaire. Deux inspections ont lieu a des dates fixes et connues de l'inspecteur et d'un eventuel detourneur. Entre les deux dates, un nombre limite d'inspections peuvent etre decidees par l'inspecteur. Nous supposons qu'un detournement est toujours detecte lors de l'inspection suivante. L'inspecteur cherche a minimiser le temps de detection et l'eventuel detourneur a le maximiser. Les jeux d'inspections sont etudies en deux temps. Nous considerons d'abord differentes familles de jeux d'inspection, et nous nous interessons tout particulierement aux jeux admettant une structure recursive. Ensuite, nous elaborons un jeu a information incomplete repondant aux donnees du probleme pose et realisons un logiciel, nomme jadis, permettant d'obtenir des strategies optimales d'inspection sur un grand nombre de periodes. Le jeu peut alors etre etudie sur un nombre de periodes suffisamment large pour confirmer le fait que l'information incomplete permet de reduire le temps de detection d'un detournement. Un second type de jeu est egalement etudie, le jeu d'infiltration, qui consiste en une poursuite-evasion sur un graphe de plusieurs arcs reliant deux noeuds. Un agent infiltrant doit se rendre de l'un de ces deux noeuds a l'autre sans etre intercepte par un gardien. Differents contextes de surveillance sont etudies.

Nocera, Tomas. "Assessing the Long-term Impacts of White-nose Syndrome on Bat Communities Using Acoustic Surveys at Fort Drum Military Installation." Thesis, Virginia Tech, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/10919/95937.
Full textAbstract:
With declines in abundance and changing distribution of White-nose Syndrome (WNS)-affected bat species, increased reliance on acoustic monitoring is now the new "normal". As such, the ability to accurately identify individual bat species with acoustic identification programs has become increasingly important. Additionally, how bat distribution and habitat associations have changed at the local to sub-landscape scale in the post WNS environment is important to understand. The significance of these changes, relative to bat activity, may be based on the species-specific susceptibility to WNS. We used data collected from Fort Drum Military Installation, New York from the summers of 2003-2017 to analyze the accuracy of acoustic software programs, and assess the changes in relative bat activity, occupancy, and distribution induced by WNS.
Our results indicate that continued acoustic monitoring of bat species, such as the little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus) in the Northeast, to assess ongoing temporal and spatial changes, habitat associations, and as a guide to direct future mist-netting should rely more on relative activity as the metric of choice. Furthermore, the continuous spread of WNS across North America will have strong negative effects on bat populations and communities, this study points to how individual species (both impacted and non-impacted) will respond to WNS. We believe that our results can help users choose automated software and MLE thresholds more appropriate for their needs to accurately address potential changes in communities of bat species due to impacts of WNS or other factors.MS

Full textAbstract:
Many different message-oriented middlewares (MOM) exist today on the market. With different underlying designs, purposes and features, it is not easy to make the right choice of MOM for your system. The IT company Nordicstation is in such a situation where they need to make a choice of MOM. They currently own a system called Sharelock which generates reports about violations of financial assets trad- ing. They wish to make the process of generating a report more asynchronous by using a MOM and they have a couple of requirements. This thesis was carried out with the purpose of finding the most suitable products for the system in mind, compare their features, performance, licenses and ease-of- use. This was accomplished by analysing their installation process, monitoring in- terfaces, documentation on their websites and performance in a simple throughput test. The results showed that RabbitMQ was the strongest candidate. It had good per- formance, an attractive web interface for monitoring, an easy installation and it also offered commercial support. Apache Artemis was also found to be an attractive choice but it did not have a web interface which made it hard to manage the system.Idag finns det många meddelandebaserade mellanprogramvaror (MOM) på marknaden. Dessa har olika grundläggande designer, syften och kännetecken vilket kan göra det svårt att göra ett bra val av MOM för ett visst system. IT-företaget Nordicstation befinner sig i en sådan situation där de behöver göra ett val av MOM. De har ett system som kallas Sharelock som genererar rapporter om regelbrott in- om värdepappershandeln. De vill göra processen mer asynkron genom att använda en MOM och de har ett antal krav på produkten. Det här examensarbetet utfördes med syftet att hitta de mest passande produkter- na för det tänka systemet, jämföra deras särdrag, prestanda, licenser och anvä- ndarvänlighet. Detta gjordes genom att analysera deras installationsprocess, övervakningsgränssnitt, dokumentation på deras hemsida och prestanda i ett en- kelt prestandatest. Resultaten visade att RabbitMQ var den starkaste kandidaten. Den hade bra prestanda, ett attraktivt webbgränssnitt, en enkel installation och den erbjöd också kommersiell support åt kunder. Apache Artemis var också ett attraktivt val men den hade inget webbgränssnitt vilket gjorde det svårt att övervaka och hantera sys- temet.

Today many companies aims to have their systems automated. Tieto works in a delivery system that is not fully automated, and they wish for it to be improved. They wish to improve this delivery system, as it’s not automated. This work aims to analyze the delivery system to find possi- ble solutions. The delivery system is being used to deliver services to Telia and developed modules are installed for system tests, acceptance tests and in production. The analysis is done by observing and interviewing users on Tieto. If a solution can be found the solutions will be found mainly within automation, but also in level of risk and usability. A solu- tion will be implemented and aiming for practical results that can be used in the delivery system. The analysis has resulted in prioritizing automa- tion of installations descriptions for modules, in the form of installation reports. After the automation of the installation reports, a prototype was implemented for automation of the installation guide. It is being used for getting an overview of everything that will be installed in production. A generation of installation reports has resulted in an automated solution that has been deployed in the delivery system. The deployment has shown a great time gain, a lower level of risk and an increased usability. The automation of the installation guide has resulted in a prototype that generates a big part of the content automatically. An analysis of the de- livery system shows that it contains both advantages and disadvantages in the system/process. It also contains a few missing parts. Many sugges- tions has been reported to improve the delivery system.Idag strävar många företag till att få sina system automatiserade. Tieto jobbar i ett leveranssystem som inte är helt automatiserat och önskar att det förbättras. Arbetet syftar till att analysera leveranssystemet för att hitta möjliga lösningsalternativ. Leveranssystemet används för att leve- rera tjänster till Telia, och utvecklade moduler går därför igenom syste- met och installeras för systemtest, acceptanstest och till slut i produktion. Analysen ska genomföras med hjälp av att observera och intervjua an- vändare på Tieto under denna process. Om lösningsalternativ hittats ska förbättringar ske främst inom automatisering, men även inom risknivå och användarvänlighet. En lösning kommer implementeras och sträva ef- ter praktiska resultat som kan användas i leveranssystemet. Analysen har resulterat i att prioritet lagts på installationsbeskrivningar för moduler, i form av installationsrapporter. För att få en övergripande bild över allt som ska installeras ute i produktionen utformades även en installations- guide. Genereringen av installationsrapporterna har resulterat i en auto- matiserad lösning som blivit driftsatt i leveranssystemet. Driftsättningen har visat sig ge en stor tidsvinst, tillsammans med en minskad risknivå och en ökad användarvänlighet. Automatiseringen av installationsgui- den har resulterat i en prototyp som genererar stora delar av innehållet automatiskt. Analysen av systemet och processen visar att det både finns fördelar och nackdelar. Det finns även vissa delar som saknas. Flera för- slag har presenterats för att förbättra leveranssystem.

Today Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery AB (SIT AB) installs operator-stations manually. This is a tedious and time consuming process. In this report several different approaches is researched and presented for an automated solution. Because automated installation is not a widely researched area, an exploration of different approaches and technical difficulties has been made to use as a base when finally arriving at a recommendation for SIT AB. The result of this report shows that an approach using the Windows Registry is the best solution for implementation of an automated solution, and that other approaches either is too time consuming or technically challenging to be feasible. This report is meant as a decision basis for SIT AB in their automation of operator-station installations.

Un système de distribution électrique est le cœur de tous types de sites industriels, aussi bien les sites producteurs d'énergie que les sites consommateurs. La sécurité de ce système doit être impérativement assurée par la mise en place des unités assurant plusieurs fonctionnalités de protection contre les dédauts électriques. Parmi ces fonctionalités il existe celles qui se basent sur des échanges d'information entre plusieurs unités de protection. Le standard IEC 61850 guarantit cet échange des informations via des signaux ‘temps réel' échangé via le réseau de communication. Vue l'aspet non deterministe de ces signaux, une étude poussée de leur fiabilité doit être effectuée. Pour ces raisons notre travail de thèse a pour objectif de mettre en place une méthodologie, basée sur une plateforme de Co-Simulation conçue pendant notre étude, qui permet la validation de la fiabilité de ces messages tout au long du cycle de vie d'un système de communication IEC 61850From 2004, a new worldwide standard of communication IEC61850 is introduced in the majority of substation automation system carrying out new innovation prospects to the world of substation. One of these feature is that it allows the exchange of security real time communication messages all over the communication network. These messages are used as control information for the Distributed Automation Application 'DAA'. Taking into consideration that DAA have a direct effect on ythe dependability of a smart grid architecture, the fiability of these real time IEC 61850 should be evaluated. For these reasons, our research delas with the development of a Co-Simulation platform that permits the evaluation and validation of an IEC 61850 communication network

There are a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises in Taiwan that contribute greatly to Taiwan’s economic development. These companies provide lots of employment opportunities and help expand Taiwan’s export market. They are the main economic growth engines in Taiwan and serve as the foundation for social stability. With the advent of information society, e-commerce has been evolving rapidly. Enterprises in all sectors are devoting large amount of funding and human resources to develop e-commerce. Small and medium-sized enterprises, due to their large numbers and extensive competition, have an urgent need to computerize their traditional operational and sales models in order to adapt to the new environment and meet the rapidly changing challenges. However, in addition to human resource and technology, computerization for e-commerce requires significant investment in hardware and software. With the protection of intellectual property required today, procurement and continuous upgrade of licensed software is definitely a heavy financial burden to small and medium-sized enterprises, and this is the major reason for which owners of these enterprises are hesitate to computerize and introduce e-commerce. This study proposes an alternative for computerization for small and medium-sized enterprises, that is, free software. With the concept of General Public License, free software not only provides free download, but also allows users to copy and distribute. Using free software can save a large amount of software procurement cost for small and medium-seized enterprises with free renewal and upgrade in the future. To solve the long-term problem of insufficient funding facing small and medium-sized enterprises once and for all, a right direction is to avoid using illegal copies of licensed software and instead using free software. In this study, a multifunction server is installed in Humanity (Jen-Wen) primary school in Toucheng. The server is evaluated against non-free software in both cost and performance to verify that using free software is very appropriate for computerization of small and medium-sized enterprises.
