Open Master Theses

Framework for Generation of Scalable and Heterogeneous Benign Workloads for IDS Benchmarking

In this thesis, you will develop a framework for generation of regular, i.e., not malicious, system workloads that closely resemble realistic system usage seen at virtualized cloud environments. [more]

Open Bachelor Theses

Quantification of the Impact of Elastic Cloud Environment Properties on IDS Benchmarking Metrics

In this thesis, you will perform experiments that involve use of novel intrusion detection systems (IDSes) in order to investigate the relationship between the performance of these systems and the elastic properties of virtualized cloud environments in which they operate. [more]
