Hi all, Maybe some of you will be interested in participating in this... gem ======================================================================== ==== Special issue of IEEE Security & Privacy magazine Botnets, spyware, rootkits and assorted malware, September/October 2006 Deadline for submissions: May 31st, 2006 Guest editors: Ivan Arce (ivan.arce-AT-coresecurity.com) The continuing evolution of security threats and countermeasures increasingly points at spyware, rootkits, botnets and a myriad of other software artifacts - loosely defined as "malware"- as the biggest challenge to achieve socially acceptable levels of security and privacy in today's IT environments. The number of reported incidents and criminal activities attributed to malware is believed to be growing steadily every year clearly signaling a topic that merits more focused attention and in-depth analysis from the information security community. Consequently, the technological, legal and policy-related aspects of malware are the topic of an upcoming special issue of IEEE Security & Privacy magazine. We are looking for feature articles with in-depth coverage of spyware, botnets, rootkits and other related malware exploring the following ideas: * Malware detection, categorization and analysis * Reverse engineering and static/dynamic binary analysis of spyware, rootkits and other malware. * Malware containment and removal. * Advances in offensive and defensive malware technology * The global and large scale trends in malware * Malware economics and metrics * In-depth research and case-studies of specific rootkits, spyware or botnet systems. * Malware-specific computer forensics and incident response * Malware-specific legal, regulatory and policy considerations The above list is not complete nor closed, authors are encouraged to submit articles that explore other aspects of malware. Submissions are due May 31st, 2006 and will be subject to the peer-review methodology for refereed papers of the IEEE Security & Privacy magazine. Submissions will be accepted using the IEEE Computer Society Manuscript Central site at http://cs-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com Articles should be understandable to a broad audience of people interested in computing in science and engineering. The writing should be down to earth, practical, and original. Authors should avoid theory, mathematics, jargon, and abstract concepts. They should not assume that the audience will have specialized experience in a particular subfield. appearance. Feature articles normally run from 4 to 12 magazine pages, including all text, the abstract, keywords, biographies, illustrations, sidebars, table text, and reference entries. Articles should be between 4,500 to 7,000 words (tables and figures count as 250 words each) For more information see: http://www.computer.org/mc/security/author.htm --- "Buy the ticket, take the ride" -HST Ivan Arce CTO CORE SECURITY TECHNOLOGIES http://www.coresecurity.com PGP Fingerprint: C7A8 ED85 8D7B 9ADC 6836 B25D 207B E78E 2AD1 F65A ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This electronic message transmission contains information that may be confidential or privileged.
