Title: "Automated Generation of End-to-End Evasive Attacks Against a Firewalled Host."

Stateful firewalls are essential to protect network deployments from adversaries on the internet. System operators do not have visibility into the implementation and behavior of these firewalls. An incorrect firewall implementation opens the door for adversaries to evade the firewall and attack internal hosts behind it. In this work, we develop a framework which automatically generates end-to-end evasive attacks i.e. packet sequences that evade the firewall logic and attack an internal host behind the firewall.

These are practice talks for the ECE Ph.D. qualifying examination.
