- Description: The information gathered through conventional static analysis of malicious binaries has become increasingly limited. This is due to the rate at which new malware is being created as well as the increasingly complex methods employed to obfuscating these binaries. This paper discusses the development of a framework to analyse malware using signal processing techniques, the initial iteration of which focuses on common audio processing techniques such as Fourier transforms. The aim of this research is to identify characteristics of malware and the encryption methods used to obfuscate malware. This is achieved through the analysis of their binary structure, potentially providing an additional metric for autonomously fingerprinting malware.

- Description: Motor vehicle ride sharing is a popular way of travelling in most coun-tries. Different incentives have made this mode of travelling to exist formally and informally, for example as in carpooling clubs and hitchhik-ing respectively. Advances in Information and Communication Tech-nology (ICT) have facilitated developments of formal Dynamic Ride Sharing (DRS) systems that target mobile devices. These are seen as solutions to people’s preference of flexible ride sharing services. In de-veloping countries, hitchhiking is a common technique for ride sharing travels. This paper describes a proposal to develop a DRS system that primarily targets mobile phone users in South Africa for informal ride sharing methods done in hitchhiking.

- Description: A hardware and software platform, created to facilitate power usage and power quality measurements along with direct power line actuation is under development. Additional general purpose control and sensing interfaces have been integrated. Measurements are persistently stored on each node to allow asynchronous retrieval of data without the need for a central server. The device communicates using an IEEE 802.15. 4 radio transceiver to create a self-configuring mesh network. Users can interface with the mesh network by connecting to any node via USB and utilising the developed high level API and interactive environment.

While they ambled along, one was holding up a mobile phone on which music was playing, dancing while he walked. This was exactly the kind of thing I was hoping to observe in my new identity as researcher and participant observer, and was why I had agreed to judge the Hooggenoeg fashion show which turned out to be more of a beauty competition. While I'm not generally fond of these kind of shows and the way they essentialise beauty, I agreed because I wanted to get more of a sense of how mobile phones are integrated into the everyday lives of these young adults.

- Description: Research has shown that it is possible to classify malicious URLs using state of the art techniques to train Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) using only lexical features of a URL. This has the advantage of being high speed and does not add any overhead to classifications as it does not require look-ups from external services. This paper discusses our method for implementing and testing a framework which automates the generation of these neural networks as well as testing involved in trying to optimize the performance of these ANNs.
