The Vulnerability Assessment Tool will be a valuable asset for focusing on areas of terrorist concern, whether caused by domestic or foreign terrorist organizations. By doing so, limited resources can be utilized with maximum efficiency, whether they be of human, physical, or electronic nature. Given indications and warnings, the tool could accurately assess the potential actions for terrorist gro ...

Inline Botnet Extraction And Response, iBEAR is a holistic solution of addressing botnets with collection, analysis, and prevention capability. The iBEAR is built on the success of our phase I research of botnet collection. Collection of malware is done through decoy and inline network prevention system to capture target malware and scanning malware without risking the end systems. A hybrid analys ...

The main objective of this DNDO SBIR-funded effort is to enable large-scale and economical production of high-sensitivity, solid-state, thermal neutron detectors for use in radiological inspection. The Phase I project successfully demonstrated a novel, energetic ion technique for depositing the active material, boron-10, onto the patterned silicon, which forms the substrate for the device. Micron- ...

This SBIR focuses primarily on monitoring intermodal sea containers. The proposed solid-state detector is also suitable for other deployments, including embed in cell phones for a widely dispersed distributed detection network, or in planned devices such as the Intelligent Personal Radiation Locator. Furthermore other conveyances such as passenger and cargo planes, over-the-road trailers and rail ...

Many government agencies share the need to determine the best courses of action that diminish the long range threat, vulnerability or impact from a potential event that affects our domestic population or infrastructure. We propose to develop a functional prototype of the Current Event - Future Outcome (CEFO) software we described in Phase I, which will leverage the existing wealth of domain-specif ...

Luna Innovations will design and develop a hard disk unlocking system that is easily usable by forensic technicians while preserving evidentiary integrity. Our solution will be robust even against anticipated future drive features and drives modified by criminals to have certain anti-tamper properties. This is important as it is nearly certain that manufacturers or criminals will develop such coun ...

This proposal addresses the key issue in the normalization of software assurance information, how to integrate the vulnerability findings reported by multiple vulnerability detection tools. The normalization will provide normalized, consistent reporting on type of identified weakness (alignment with CWE) as well as normalized, consistent reporting on location and trace of identified weakness withi ...

Modular system will be developed to extend the frequency range of Vector Network Analyzers to at least 1 THz. These extenders will offer excellent dynamic range and stability, as well as the capability for fully calibrated measurements. The extenders will rely on innovative full waveguide band frequency multipliers and mixers that utilize planar, integrated Schottky diode circuits. The modular ext ...

Centripetal Networks, Inc. (CNI) will research and develop a Network Protection System (NPS) capable of providing a Network Survivability, Recovery, and Reconstitution (NS2R) service requested by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). NS2R will help the DHS achieve its mission to secure, protect, and defend US Internet infrastructure. This NPS builds on CNI's successful completion of the SBIR ...

Today's static IT systems allow adversaries time to plan and launch attacks. Endeavor proposes a Multi-layer, Ever changing, Self-defense Service (MESS) that is resilient and manageable. MESS prevents attackers from exploiting a target system by removing the static network & system attributes that simplify reconnaissance. Continuously refreshing the target system to a new virtual instance with a ...
