On-line gambling is the key illegal behaviour of public security department in most countries due to the potential threat to cyberspace security and social stability. Hence, the research on gambling domain names (GDN) classification is quite important and in great demand for academia and industry. Till now, there is very little research work on this topic. Most of the GDN training datasets in previous work were chosen from GDN blacklists provided by publicly available data sources, and the authors did not verify the authenticity and accuracy of these datasets, and the classification results are not particularly satisfactory. In this paper, certificated and textual analysis-based classification method CT-GDNC is proposed to get GDN training data set with an accuracy of 0.9776 and significantly improve the classification results of GDN. The exhaustive comparative experiments on 10K GDN obtained via Bert fine-tuning model and 10K benign data collected from Alex Top 1 million list show that the proposed method achieves new baseline result for GDN classification with classification accuracy 0.9936, precision 0.9936, F1 0.9936 and recall 0.9939.

Millions of new domain names are registered every day, but a large proportion of them are malicious and usually discovered and blacklisted after the crime has been committed. In order to improve the security of domain name registration, this paper proposes a lightweight detection method based on the AdaBoost to identify malicious domain names, which focuses on proactively detecting malicious domain names by exploring the abnormal WHOIS records. The domain name registries and registrars can adopt the proposed method as the first layer of defense to identify malicious domains on the domain registration stage. Extensive experiments on a large-scale database demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves satisfactory results on various malicious domain names. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As the backbone of the domain name system (DNS), DNS resolvers are essential to the Internet. Nowadays, the measurement of DNS resolvers, especially open DNS resolvers, has become a research focus. Previous research works show that DNS responses returned from some open DNS resolvers are not expected for clients and the Internet. We call these DNS responses 'unexpected DNS responses'. Research on unexpected DNS responses is beneficial to the research, usage and management of open DNS resolvers. This paper explores unexpected DNS responses returned from open DNS resolvers in terms of identification and classification to better understand the behaviours of open DNS resolvers. First, an identification method is proposed to identify all kinds of DNS responses from each section of DNS messages. Second, a classification method is proposed to classify unexpected DNS responses by their influences on clients and the Internet. Furthermore, an efficient identification and classification method is proposed to simplify the above process. Among about 9 million responding open DNS resolvers in the experiments on the IPv4 address space, about 40% return unexpected DNS responses. Experimental results show that the proposed methods can identify and classify all kinds of DNS responses returned from open DNS resolvers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Palmprint is an important key player in biometric family and also informs some extra basic personality details of an individual. In this paper, we utilize these extra information and designed an automated mobile vision (MV) system to extract principal lines from human palm and analyze them for behavioral significances. Hence, the main concern of this paper is to come up with a simple yet powerful low-level MV solution to extract the complex challenging features from palmprint. In the proposed system, the computational tasks are offloaded to a dedicated palmistry server and efficiently minimizes the energy consumption of mobile device after performing some preliminary computational low-level tasks. The implementation is divided into four major phases: (i) hand-image acquisition and pre-processing, (ii) region-of-interest extraction from the palm images, (iii) post-processing to extract principal lines and (iv) features computation for behavior analysis. The basic palmistry uses line lengths, angles, curves and branches to identify a person's behavior. The exhaustive experiments show that the proposed system achieves an average accuracy of 96%, 92% and 84% for heart, life and head line detection and personality prediction, respectively. Finally, mapping the extracted results with the original palmprint is augmented back to the use for better visualization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
