======FRIENDS Research Projects====== Welcome to the FRIENDS research wiki. Basically, this is just a place for us to put up information about our past and present research projects. Older projects might not have a wiki page, so you may need to check the old pages at [[http://cairo.cs.purdue.edu/projects|our old projects page]] for a complete list. =====Security Projects===== * [[Code Injection]] -- A short work showing the feasibility of constructing a Harvard memory architecture on a per process basis and the applicability to code injection prevention. * [[NICKLE]] -- Kernel rootkit prevention on unmodified operating systems using a virtual machine monitor. * [[Process Coloring]] -- Leveraging OS level information flows for intrusion detection. * [[DSRAND|Data Structure Layout Randomization]] -- Polymorphing Software By Randomizing Data Structure Layout. * [[AutoFormat]] -- Automatic Protocol Format Reverse Engineering Through Context-Aware Monitored Execution. * [[REWARDS]] -- Automatic Reverse Engineering of Data Structures from Binary Execution. * [[LiveDM]] -- Reliable Kernel Malware Defense using a Safe and Temporal View of Dynamic Kernel Memory. =====Virtualization Based Distributed Computing===== * [[VNsnap]] -- Taking snapshot of a virtual cloud environment. * [[vSnoop]] -- Improving TCP throughput in virtual cloud environments.
