The Big Story: “We NEED Greenland” - What else do you need, Trump?
The world is watching closely after the US carried out a military operation in Venezuela, capturing President Nicolás Maduro. But the story doesn’t end there. In the days since, President Donald Trump has sent a series of sharp warnings to other countries. He hinted at possible military action in Colombia, told Mexico to “get its act together” on drugs, suggested the US “needs Greenland” for national security, and even name-checked Iran as a potential concern.

“Iterated Development and Study of Schemers (IDSS)” by Ryan Greenblatt
Subtitle: A strategy for handling scheming. In a previous post, we discussed prospects for studying scheming using natural examples. In this post, we’ll describe a more detailed proposal for iteratively constructing scheming models, techniques for detecting scheming, and techniques for preventing scheming. We’ll call this strategy Iterated Development and Study of Schemers (IDSS). We’ll be using concepts from that prior post, like the idea of trying to make schemers which are easier to catch. Two key difficulties with using natural examples of scheming are that it is hard to catch (and re-catch) scheme...

The Dark Side to the Data Economy
"Shh! Google is listening," your mom points at her Alexa. You roll your eyes, but you know there's some truth to it. Your data is being tracked. The question is, where's it going, what are they doing with it, and how are they getting it? Liberty and Scott are investigating just how dangerous the data economy really is and if people truly need to be worried. They look for answers from MIT professor and former scientist at Facebook Dean Eckles, and New York Times technology columnist Kevin Roose to find the truth behind data privacy and how we can...

The Deadly Epidemic That's Gone on Too Long
It's a killer that's been swept under the rug. The leading cause of death for 18–45-year-olds in America is opioid overdose, and deaths are only increasing. Liberty and Scott want to know, why is this decades-old epidemic still taking so many lives? They're getting the facts on the opioid crisis, looking at the local community and financial perspectives to get the truth. They go to the experts to explore the local community perspective and the financial aspect to discover the solutions that can stop more Americans from dying of opioid overdoses. They speak with An...

Misinformation…Democracy's Downfall?
2016 and 2020 ー not exactly our smoothest years in American election history. Mention them to anyone and you'll likely enter an intense conversation about which side spewed misinformation to unfairly win each election. Misinformation was certainly out there, but did it actually sway these elections? Liberty and Scott investigate if misinformation is a weapon we need to be worried about, or if it's the new norm of political tools. They're getting answers from the director of the MIT Political Experiments Research Lab Adam Berinsky, and former director of public policy at Facebook Katie Harbath, to find out how much misinformation in po...

The Vibes Are Unreal
Modern vehicles are generally equipped with dozens of (or even hundreds of) electronic and intelligent devices and bloom into more involved information hub in enabling V2X networking. Protecting this increasingly complex vehicle ecosystem can be an arduous task, especially as the proliferation of data across distinct connected devices makes them more vulnerable than ever before. Intrusion detection systems (IDSs) have been found extremely rewarding in monitoring in-vehicle network traffic and detecting potential intrusions. The paper presents WLOF-InV, a novel unsupervised method based on local density for IDS on in-vehicle network. Given historical in-vehicle data of message identifiers, WLOF-InV first segm...

Fueled by business needs such as supply chain integration and outsourcing, modern enterprises must open up portions of their networks to potentially untrusted outsiders. Combined with the troubling aspects of malicious insiders, ever more sophisticated attacks, increasing network complexity, and strong pressure from regulatory bodies to rapidly identify breaches and assess damages, there is a rapidly growing concern over internal network security. IT departments must work harder than ever to prevent insiders and outsiders from gaining unauthorized access to critical assets deep in the network, and if such access ever occurs, identify and report on, the impact of such a...

"The Achilles' heel of network IDSs lies in the large number of false positives (i.e., false attacks) that occur: practitioners as well as researchers observe that it is common for a NIDS to raise thousands of mostly false alerts per day. False positives are a universal problem as they affect both signature-based and anomaly-based IDSs. Finally, attackers can overload IT personnel by forging ad-hoc packets to produce false alerts, thereby lowering the defences of the IT infrastructure.

Intrusion detection (ID) is an important component of infrastructure protection mechanisms. Intrusion detection systems (IDSs) need to be accurate, adaptive, extensible, and cost-effective. These requirements are very challenging because of the complexities of today's network environments and the lack of IDS development tools. Our research aims to systematically improve the development process of IDSs. In the first half of the talk, I will describe our data mining framework for constructing ID models. This framework mines activity patterns from system audit data and extracts predictive features from the patterns. It then applies machine learning algorithms to the audit records, which...
