Android Usage Study

How do we use our beloved smartphones? To answer this question, the Trust@FHH group has developed the FHH Device Analyzer app for Android. The purpose is to collect both static and dynamic data on Android based smartphones. We aim to use this data to train an Intrusion Detection System that is currently in development.

Talk given at the TCG Members Meeting 2012, Madrid

Prof. Dr. Josef von Helden from the Trust@FHH team gave a talk on our current Research projects and developments of our Open Source software within the scope of IF-MAP at the Trusted Computing Group Members Meeting in Madrid, Spain on June 20th 2012. He also demonstrated some of our software in a (scripted) live demo. The talk is available as a free download within our Publications section.

First version of a demonstration environment of our iron*-software released

Today we released the first version of a Trust@FHH iron demonstration environment. The environment consists of a Virtual Box Appliance that holds a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32bit system with X-server, GNOME and Virtual Box guest additions, as well as some of our iron software in a “ready-to-use” state. The iron software that comes along is:

• irond 0.3.2
• irongui 0.4.0
• ifmapcli-tools
• some scripts for use with ifmap-cli
• a how_to.txt residing on the Desktop

The username and password are both “irondemo”.

As this is the first version, we are really glad for any feedback regarding things that won’t work at all or don’t work as you would expected them. The appliance can be found in our Downloads section.

Trust@FHH is now on Google+ and Twitter

From now on you can contact and/or follow us via Google+ and Twitter.

VisITMeta was presented at the 6th ESUKOM Workshop in Nuremberg

At the 6th workshop of the ESUKOM project, the ideas and goals of VisITMeta were presented to the project members.

As they all were quite familiar with IF-MAP and our current IF-MAP GUI irongui, they delivered good and early feedback, on what will be the roadmap for the next 3 years within VisITMeta.

During the project, there will be many occasions where the current status of VisITMeta will be presented to IF-MAP users/developers, to get as much feedback as possible.
