Evaluating modern defenses against control flow hijacking
… on code pointers thus preventing most control-hijacking attacks while maintaining low overhead. CPI protects access to code pointers by storing them in a safe region that is isolated by hardward enforcement on 0x86-32 architecture and by information-hiding on 0x86-64 and ARM architectures. We …

HIJACKING OF CELLULAR PATHWAYS BY NOVEL TICK-BORNE PHLEBOVIRUS
Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (SFTS) virus is an emerging tick-borne Phlebovirus isolated from patients presenting with hemorrhagic manifestations. Case fatality rates of 12-50% have been reported. Limited information regarding SFTS virus pathogenesis is known. Inhibition of …

Persistent “hijacking” of brain proteasomes in HIV-associated dementia
… decreases in synapsin 1. These findings suggest “hijacking” of constitutive proteasomes by immunoproteasomes with the persistent inflammatory response in HIV-infected brains. Ubiquitin-mediated protein turnover by constitutive proteasomes is consequently impaired, resulting in the dysregulation of …

Hijacking Cancer Signaling: First-in-class JPRK-targeting Ligands for Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Described herein is a drug screening project focused on an oncoprotein beginning with in silico fragment screening against an un-drugged target and concluding with a collaboration to evaluate single digit nanomolar potent and >500-fold selective drug candidates in patient derived xenografts. …

Motor vehicle theft: a comparative study
… entails a study of motor vehicle theft and hijacking in KwaZulu-Natal and Western Cape for the period of 1 January till 31 December 1995. The present study is empirically founded and for this purpose an information schedule has been implemented to capture data from police case dossiers for …

Exploring crime prevention measures to address motor vehicle theft in Jozini, Kwazulu-Natal
Vehicle crimes, particularly vehicle theft and hijacking, are some of the most challenging crimes in South Africa. Vehicle crimes have tremendous impact on the stability of our country as people have lost trust in the police and related government departments due to their inability to curb these …

The Palestinian Liberation Organization: Is Reform Possible?
… its agenda by acts of terrorism worldwide. The hijacking of an Israeli passenger airline flying from Rome to Tel Aviv took place in July of 1968 and marked the beginning of a systematic campaign using terrorism to bring public attention to the Palestinian cause. Terrorist attacks like the Munich …

Runtime Detection of Hardware Trojan in Untrusted Network-on-Chip
… passing packets for two different purposes: 1) hijacking packets to harvest information carried by the packet; 2) manipulating the packet to alter the packet data. Both attacks can be tackled by the authentication. But unlike the software level authentication designs in the traditional …

Chromatin Architecture Aberrations Contribute and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Relapse
… organization and identify novel enhancer hijacking events. These results indicate that enhancer hijacking of prostate cancer oncogenes may be a more common driver of disease than previously recognized. Then, I developed a statistical framework for differential gene expression analysis to …

Automated exploitation of fully randomized executables
… Marten has generated four control flow hijacking exploits and three information leakage exploits. One of the information leakage exploits is generated against a previously undiscovered zero-day vulnerability in Serveez-0.2.2. CVE-2019-16200 has been assigned to this vulnerability. These …

Secure and Efficient In-Process Monitor and Multi-Variant Execution
Control flow hijacking attacks such as Return Oriented Programming (ROP) and data oriented attacks like Data Oriented Programming (DOP) are problems still plaguing modern software today. While there have been many attempts at hardening software and protecting against these attacks, the heavy …

Ras Drives Malignancy Through Stem Cell Crosstalk with the Microenvironment
… crosstalk creates conditions ripe for hijacking leptin receptor (LEPR)-signaling, which in turn launches downstream PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling at the benign-malignant transition. By functionally interrogating each step in this pathway, we unravel how dynamic temporal crosstalk with the …

Alba Emoting: A Safe, Effective, and Versatile Technique for Generating Emotions in Acting Performance
… These problems include, &ldqup;emotional hijacking,” “emotional hangover,” “emotional blockage,” and using emotional memories which are faded, incomplete, inconsistent, or full of mixed emotions. Alba Emoting solves these four problems through the help of certified trainers, the …

Using a Web Server Test Bed to Analyze the Limitations of Web Application Vulnerability Scanners
… scripting, malicious file execution, and session hijacking. However, these tools have been found to have flaws and limitations as well. Research has shown that web application vulnerability scanners are not capable of always detecting vulnerabilities and attack vectors, and do not give effective …

Prompt Injection Generation Using Small Language Models with Reinforcement Learning with Artificial Intelligence Feedback
… of small language models (SLMs) to generate goal hijacking messages, a subset of prompt injection messages. Techniques such as LoRA fine-tuning and full fine-tuning of even smaller models are employed in this short form text generation model. We also introduce a fine-tuned SLM enhanced with …

Mining Security Risks from Massive Datasets
… the thesis measures the impact of deep link hijacking risk, which is one type of inter-app communication risks, on 1 million websites and 160 thousand mobile apps. The measurement reveals the failure of Google's attempts to improve the security of deep links.

Necrotic cell death: A novel outcome of BHPI-hyperactivation of the anticipatory unfolded protein response
… anticipatory unfolded protein response (UPR), hijacking a normally protective and pro-proliferative action of estrogen and ERa. We have found that BHPI effectively inhibits proliferation of and kills breast cancer cells expressing constitutive and antiestrogen resistant mutations, ERaY537S and …

The Role of Virus-Host Interactions in the Evolutionary Dynamics of Bacteriophage Populations
… cell, adsorbing to it, injecting their DNA, hijacking the host machinery to produce more phage, and finally lysing the cell to release the new phage. The evolutionary dynamics of phage populations are therefore strongly tied to their interactions with the host bacteria. In a spatial context, …

Structural Analysis of Cycle Inhibiting Factor from Pathogenic Escherichia Coli
… Examples of translocated effector proteins hijacking essential host functions such as cytoskeleton assembly, vesicular transport, and apoptosis are numerous (Galan and Wolf-Watz, 2006). However, until recently, less progress had been made with bacteria that also possess virulence mechanisms …
