Detecting Intrusions Stemming from MSFT Co-Pilot in Windows 11

Living-off-the-land binaries (LOLBins) refer to legitimate executables pre-installed with the operating system, like powershell.exe and certutil.exe, exploited by attackers for sophisticated fileless attacks. These attacks, leveraging LOLBins, are often undetectable and pose challenges for detection, incident response, and threat hunting. Microsoft Copilot’s integration as a default tool in Windows 11 adds complexity to the threat […]

Coalescence Free Surfaces

Water injection in the industrial gas turbines is frequently used to improve the turbine performance during hot days. Injected water evaporates in the compressor section providing effective cooling leading to increased gas density and improved performance. Water injection technology poses several technological challenges. The injection system needs to be optimized to provide a uniform droplet […]

Development of bio-brick sequestering recycled aggregates and agricultural waste, for use in new construction projects

Bio-bricks are concrete bricks of recycled materials for use in low-cost structural applications. Natural aggregates will be replaced with recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste to mitigate the carbon emissions and waste disposal. As a part of climate action plan against the climate crisis the Government of Canada has set its goal to achieve […]
