Conference Object Citation Count: 0Comparing Deep Neural Networks and Machine Learning for Detecting Malicious Domain Name Registrations(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Çolhak,F.; Ecevit,M.İ.; Daǧ,H.; Creutzburg,R.This study highlights the effectiveness of deep neural network (DNN) models, particularly those integrating natural language processing (NLP) and multilayer perceptron (MLP) techniques, in detecting malicious domain registrations compared to traditional machine learning (ML) approaches. The integrated DNN models significantly outperform traditional ML models. Notably, DNN models that incorporate both textual and numeric features demonstrate enhanced detection capabilities. The utilized Canine + MLP model achieves 85.81% accuracy and an 86.46% Fl-score on the MTLP Dataset. While traditional ML models offer advantages such as faster training times and smaller model sizes, their performance generally falls short compared to DNN models. This study underscores the trade-offs between computational efficiency and detection accuracy, suggesting that their superior performance often justifies the added costs despite higher resource requirements, © 2024 IEEE.Conference Object Citation Count: 0A Comprehensive Review of Open Source Intelligence in Intelligent Transportation Systems(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Uçar,B.E.; Ecevit,M.I.; Daǧ,H.; Creutzburg,R.This paper offers an insightful review of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) within Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), emphasizing its heightened importance amidst the digital and connected evolution of the transportation sector.

It is still developing ideas, and many investigations are yet to happen shortly. The essential requirement for all OSINT investigations is information that is valuable data from an excellent source. This paper discusses various tools and methodologies related to Facebook data collection and analyzing part of the collected data. At the end of the paper, the reader will get a deep and clear insight into the available techniques, tools, and descriptions of those tools present to scrape the data out of the Facebook platform and the types of investigations and analyses that the gathered data can do. It should be noted that the paper presents the status of the OSINT Facebook investigation possibilities of November 2022. © 2023, Society for Imaging Science and Technology.Conference Object Citation Count: 0Towards Better Cyber Security Consciousness: The Ease and Danger of OSINT Tools in Exposing Critical Infrastructure Vulnerabilities(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Ecevit, Mert İlhan; Dağ, Hasan; Naqvi,N.Z.; Creutzburg,R.; Dag,H.This article explores open-source intelligence (OS-INT) to identify the vulnerabilities and loopholes in power grid systems, focusing on an electrical distribution company operating in Turkey. The study emphasizes the potential risks of sharing publicly available information on social media accounts, websites, reports, and press releases which most companies overlook. It highlights that individuals or adversaries can exploit this information to harm companies and countries that may not be fully aware of these vulnerabilities. OSINT tools can efficiently gather interpretable data on a company, which companies unknowingly share. By refining the collected data, the study aims to understand the technologies used, their software versions, and any associated vulnerabilities. Web scraping tools extract data from the company's website, which may contain critical information about updates, ongoing systems, and technologies. The article provides a comprehensive understanding of the potential risks and vulnerabilities associated with sharing sensitive information and the various OSINT tools and techniques that can be used to identify and address these vulnerabilities. The importance of vigilance against the potential harm that remote or unrelated individuals can inflict using OSINT capabilitiesis underscored.
