Detecting Remote Access Trojan (RAT) Attacks based on Different LAN Analysis Methods Salar Jamal Rashid, Shatha A. Baker, Omar I. Alsaif, Ali I. Ahmad Engineering Technology and Applied Science Research, 2024 Cyberattacks aim to access confidential information or disrupt system functionality. These days, they can take the form of attacks that give the attacker complete control over the victim's computer. Remote Access Trojans (RAT) are malware designed for these purposes. RAT gives an attacker direct access to a victim's computer and allows him to interact with the victim to steal confidential information, spy on him in real time, or interact directly with him through a dialogue box. RATs are used for information theft, surveillance, and extortion of victims. This study installed multiple virtual machines as a prototype for both the attacker and the victim, interconnected on a Local Area Network (LAN). RAT installations were explored using Mega RAT version 1.5 Beta. Ultimately, various RAT attacks were executed on target machines, and a range of static and dynamic analysis tools were employed to identify RAT. The scenarios implemented on the LAN demonstrated that RATs can be built and used with ease. Furthermore, their attacks can be identified through static or dynamic analysis using various freely available tools. The findings show that the static detection approach to identify RAT malware is more user-friendly compared to dynamic methods. However, dynamic detection can be easily performed using cost-free software.

Face recognition system based on gabor wavelets transform, principal component analysis and support vector machine Salar J Rashid, Abdulqadir I Abdullah, Mustafa A Shihab International Journal on Advanced Science Engineering and Information Technology, 2020 Face Recognition is a well-known image analysis application in the branches of pattern recognition and computer vision. It utilizes the uniqueness of human facial characteristics for personnel identification and verification. For a long time, the recognition of facial expressions by using computer-based applications has been an active area of study to recognize face scheme through a face image database. It is used in a variety of essential fields of modern life such as security systems, criminal identification, video retrieval, passport and credit cards. In general, face recognition process can be summarized in three distinct steps: preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification. At first, histogram equalization and median filter are applied as preprocessing methods. Secondly, Gabor wavelets transform extracts the features of desirable facial characterized by, orientation selectivity, spatial locality, and spatial frequency to keep up the variations caused by the varying of facial expression and illumination. In addition to that, Principal Component Analysis methodology (PCA) is used in dimensionality reduction. At last, Support vector machine (SVM) is applied in classifying the feature of the image according to the classis of every mage. In order to test the approach used in this research, experiments were running on Yale database of 165 images from 15 individuals in MATLAB environment. The results obtained from the experiments confirmed the accuracy and robustness of the proposed system.
