Upcoming DFIR Stream 0xE Webinar — “Identifying Fraudulent CAPTCHA Solvers Using Network Propagation Analysis”

by Andrew Zayine

Dear All, We are excited to invite you to an upcoming DFIR Stream 0xE webinar: Title: “Identifying Fraudulent CAPTCHA Solvers Using Network Propagation Analysis” Presenters: -Martynas Buožis — Information Security Architect, Amadeus Data Processing GmbH -Umberto Fontana — PhD Candidate, Telecom SudParis & Amadeus IT Group Abstract: Malicious actors often use CAPTCHA Farms to bypass bot protection, enabling fraud such as inventory denial and SMS pumping. These farms cleverly mirror IP addresses and client fingerprints, making traditional detection methods ineffective. Meanwhile, their CAPTCHA-solving times are indistinguishable from legitimate users. In this talk, our speakers will present a novel technique for uncovering the use of CAPTCHA Farms by analyzing network propagation times. By comparing observed delays with the geographic distances implied by IP addresses, this approach aims to statistically identify suspicious patterns. - Date & Time: Tuesday, March 25, 2:00 – 3:00 pm (GMT+00:00) - Location: Online (Pre-registration required) - Event Registration Link: https://www.acfti.org/news-events/dfir-stream-0xe - Online Registration Ends: March 23 at 04:00 PM (GMT+00:00) Don’t miss this chance to learn about cutting-edge research on detecting fraudulent CAPTCHA solvers and to provide valuable feedback! ======Housekeeping Notes====== - Note that this event is online only. Hence, You must register to receive a link to connect. Due to limited availability, we kindly ask you to register as soon as possible to ensure your participation in the webinar of your choice. Finally, I would like to remind you that the call for speakers is currently open on the dedicated DFIR stream website, https://dfir.stream/call-for-guest-speakers #CyberSecurity #DFIR #CAPTCHA #OnlineFraud Best regards, Andrew Zayin Ph.D., CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CDPSE, PMP ACFTI Secretariat

The 19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025) will be held from September 15 to 19, 2025. ECSA 2025 is planned as an in-person conference taking place in the beautiful city of Limassol (Cyprus). SCOPE The theme for ECSA 2025 is “impactful software architecture”. The software architecture discipline has had a critical role in shaping robust, scalable, and maintainable systems. We are interested in learning about software architecture principles and practices, emergence trends and case studies highlighting strategic architectural choices that can lead to enhanced performance, improved collaboration, and long-term sustainability. The overarching question is how these architectural principles and practices, both well-established and emerging, are making an impact in real-world systems, and how that impact is being felt across various domains, from enterprise systems to more novel areas like, e.g., AI-driven or autonomous applications? The Program Committee of the 19th European Conference on Software Architecture seeks submissions of original and unpublished high-quality papers describing fundamental and applied research; new methods, approaches, and processes; novel applications; education and training in software architecture; and experience reports on all topics related to software architecture. We particularly encourage papers that demonstrate that diversity in gender, culture, religion, country, etc. are key factors for success and innovation in software architecture. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Foundational principles of software architecture • Relationship of requirements engineering and software architecture • Quality attributes and software architectures • Architecture practices for secure, explainable, and trustworthy software • Architecture design and analysis • Architecture description languages and meta-models • Architecture verification and validation • Management of architectural knowledge, decisions, and rationale • Architecture patterns, styles, and tactics; reference architectures • Architecture viewpoints and views • Architecture conformance • Software architecture virtualization and visualization • Architecture-centric process models and frameworks • Software architecture and agile, incremental, iterative, and continuous development • Component-based models and deployment; middleware • Software architecture and system architecture • Software tools and environments for architecture-centric software engineering • Ethics, cultural, economic, business, social, human, and managerial aspects of software architecture • Architecture and technical debt • Architecting for sustainable and environment friendly systems • Applying AI and LLMs in software architecture and architecting for AI and LLM intensive systems • Software architecture education • Cross-disciplinary approaches to software architecture • Architectures for reconfigurable and self-adaptive systems • Architectural concerns of autonomic systems • Software architecture applied to new and emerging areas, such as the cloud/edge, big data, blockchain, cyber-physical systems, IoT, autonomous systems, systems-of-systems, energy- aware software, quantum computing, AI-enabled systems • Empirical studies, systematic literature reviews, and mapping studies in software architecture • Diversity, equity, and inclusion in activities related to software architecture RESEARCH PAPERS ECSA 2025 seeks four types of papers for the research track: • Research papers (max. 16 pages in LNCS style) which describe novel contributions to software architecture research (submissions should cover work that has a sound scientific/technological basis and has been validated) • Education and training papers (max. 16 pages in LNCS style) that address methodologies, experiences and best practices for teaching and training software architecture • Experience reports (max. 16 pages in LNCS style) that cover innovative implementations, novel applications, insightful performance results and experience in applying software architecture research advances to practical situations and systems • Short papers (max. 8 pages in LNCS style) that present novel and preliminary work-in- progress or challenges in a topic of software architecture research, education, and training. Submissions must have a sound basis, but not necessarily be validated in full. All submitted papers will undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process. Papers will be selected based on originality, quality, soundness, and relevance. All contributions must be original, not published, accepted, or submitted for publication elsewhere. Contravention of this concurrent submission policy will be deemed a serious breach of ethics, and appropriate action will be taken in all such cases. Plagiarism checking will be conducted and any paper reporting more than a 20% match with published work will be desk-rejected. To note is that research papers, education and training papers, and experience reports that are rejected in their categories may be re-evaluated as short papers only if the committee decides on rejection of the full paper on the basis that it presents preliminary work. The research track of ECSA 2025 supports an Open Science policy. We encourage all contributing authors to disclose (anonymized and curated) data/artifacts to increase reproducibility. Note that sharing research artifacts is not mandatory for submission or acceptance. Upon submission to the research track, authors are required: • To make their artifacts available to the program committee (via a link to an anonymous repository) and provide instructions on how to access this data in the paper; or • To include in the paper an explanation as to why this is not possible or desirable; and • To indicate why they do not intend to make their data or study materials publicly available upon acceptance, if that is the case While sharing research artifacts is not mandatory for submission or acceptance, authors are required to include a Data Availability statement after the Conclusions section in a section named "Data Availability". This statement should explain whether or not data and/or artifacts are available or how they could be accessed (or not). Upon acceptance, papers with Open Science artifacts (e.g., data, tools, etc.) will be invited to upload their artifacts into the ECSA Zenodo community (https://zenodo.org/communities/ecsa/) to make them accessible and visible to the ECSA community. Sharing artifacts via the ECSA Zenodo community is required for authors to be eligible for the best Open Artifact award.
