TRIANGULATION OF SENSES. "It is known that balance in many upright swimming fish is sustained through interactions between the directions of light and gravity such that a typical fish will tilt towards a lateral light source until a new balance with its gravistatic senses is reached." https://lnkd.in/d9EMwRb View in LinkedIn

SO ENDS this first of two weekends on the extraordinary phenomena of flatfish metamorphosis. Next weekend will focus on chemical and genetic changes in this acrobat of disguise changes, and some of the physiological impact of this lifestyle. Perhaps the next time you have a plate of Dover sole, you will view its little body with greater sympathy and wonder. View in LinkedIn

HOST-PARASITE CO-EVOLUTION. "The organisms faced off against some pretty nasty viruses, ones that quickly overcame the easy ways of becoming resistant...This left only more and more complex options for co-evolving hosts. We thought to ourselves, maybe the organisms that were more readily adaptable than the others, more evolvable, would be the ones left standing at the end of the experiments...the long-lasting hosts were indeed more evolvable." https://lnkd.in/dkJprEM View in LinkedIn

SWARM MALWARE. “In this article, we outline a possible dynamics, structure, and a behavior of a hypothetical (up to now) swarm malware as a background for a future antimalware system. We suggest how to capture and visualize behavior of such malware when it walks through the file system of an operating system.” https://lnkd.in/d5Tah64 View in LinkedIn

DIGITAL SWARM. “The swarm virus prototype, designed here, mimics a swarm system behavior and thus follows the main idea underlying the swarm intelligence algorithms. The information of the prototype's behavior is stored and visualized in the form of a complex network, reflecting virus communication and swarm behavior.” https://lnkd.in/d5Tah64 View in LinkedIn

COMPUTER VIRUS SWARM. “The network nodes are then individual virus instances. The network has certain properties associated with its structure that can be used by the virus instances in its activities like locating target and executing payload on the right object.” https://lnkd.in/d5Tah64 View in LinkedIn

THE HORIZON. “The Evolving Threat Landscape - Swarmbots, Hivenets, Automation in Malware. Over the past several months, the FortiGuard Labs team has been tracking a number of evolving trends related to the FortiGuard 2018 Threat Landscape Predictions article published just before the beginning of the year. This mid-year update provides new details concerning recent advances in some of the techniques and malware tied to those predictions. https://lnkd.in/dBM3R6W View in LinkedIn

SWARM AND BLOCKCHAIN MALWARE. “The accelerated development of several precursors of Swarmbots and Hivenets are especially worth revisiting. Others include the increased targeting of critical infrastructure, the development of automation in malware exploits, and the use of blockchain technology to anonymize the command and control of botnets.” https://lnkd.in/dBM3R6W View in LinkedIn
