Computer Science Seminar: Dissecting Bad Codes with Chatter and AVMeter
(Greater Washington DC Metro Area)
Aziz Mohaisen, a senior research scientist at VeriSign Labs, will discuss VeriSign's two systems -- Chatter and AV Meter. Chatter, designed to represent and leverage the sequence of events in a malware execution, tersely and efficiently captures execution patterns. AVMeter evaluates the performance of antivirus scans and labels. Researchers rely heavily on these outputs in establishing ground-truth for their methods and companies use them to guide mitigation and disinfection efforts.
Mohaisen's reserach interests are broadly focused on the security, privacy, measurement, and analysis of complex and emerging network systems. His recent work has emphasized data-driven security and its applications in malware anaylsis, network routing, information sharing, and Internet-scale reputation. He received a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Minnesota in 2012.
