Analyzing PDFs like Binaries: Adversarially Robust PDF Malware Analysis via Intermediate Representation and Language Model
Malicious PDF files have emerged as a persistent threat and become a popular attack vector in web-based attacks. While machine learning-based PDF malware classifiers have shown promise, these classifiers are often susceptible to adversarial attacks, undermining their reliability. To address this issue, recent studies have aimed to enhance the robustness of PDF classifiers. Despite these efforts, the feature engineering underlying these studies remains outdated. Consequently, even with the appli…

The AfricaConnect3 Impact Report is here!
As we look ahead to the next chapter of the project, this report reflects on an incredible 5 years of progress—and the powerful role that NRENs have played in transforming digital access for Africa’s R&E communities.
Co-funded by the EU, AC3 has enabled over 3,000 institutions and more than 9 million users to benefit from high-speed, affordable, and secure connectivity.

An Algorithm for the Leading Monomials of a Minimal Groebner Basis of Generic Sequences
We present an efficient algorithm for computing the leading monomials of a minimal Groebner basis of a generic sequence of homogeneous polynomials. Our approach bypasses costly polynomial reductions by exploiting structural properties conjectured to hold for generic sequences-specifically, that their leading monomial ideals are weakly reverse lexicographic and that their Hilbert series follow a known closed-form expression. The algorithm incrementally constructs the set of leading monomials deg…

TARRANT: No. It's too late. There's nothing we can do. [The links rip at Reeval and Toron's clothing.]
