- DDoS attacks continue to grow in complexity and now utilize multi-vector attacks across all layers of the infrastructure. The top failure points for networks are internet pipe saturation and stateful firewalls.
- Common attack types include UDP, ICMP, reflection attacks, TCP weaknesses like SYN floods, low and slow attacks like Slowloris, and encrypted attacks such as HTTPS floods. Anonymous hacking tools enable these attacks.
- Successful mitigation of DDoS attacks requires proactive preparation across the network, including a hybrid solution of on-premise and cloud-based detection and mitigation, emergency response planning, and a single point of contact during attacks.hashdays 2011: Sniping Slowloris - Taking out DDoS attackers with minimal har...

The document discusses different types of denial of service (DoS) attacks against web servers, focusing on Slowloris, Slow Post, and Slow Read attacks. Slowloris keeps connections open by sending partial HTTP requests and headers. Slow Post sends complete headers but an incomplete message body. Slow Read maliciously throttles the receipt of large HTTP responses to tie up server resources. These low-bandwidth attacks can be effective at consuming connection pools and overloading servers. The document provides details on how each attack works and recommendations for detection and mitigation techniques.Juvenile delinquency

The SQLExecutor is one of FMEs most powerful and flexible transformers. Pivvot maintains a robust internal metadata hierarchy used to support ingestion and curation of thousands of external data sources that must be managed for quality before entering our platform. By using the SQLExecutor, Pivvot can efficiently detect problems and perform analysis before data is extracted from our staging environment, removing the need for rollbacks or cycles waisted on a failed job. This presentation will walk through three distinct examples of how Pivvot uses the SQLExecutor to engage its metadata hierarchy and integrate with its Data Quality Management workflows efficiently and within the source postgres database. Spatial Validation Validating spatial prerequisites before entering a production environment. Reference Data Validation - Dynamically validate domain-ed columns across any table and multiple columns per table.

Managing airport and airspace data is no small task, especially when youre expected to deliver it in AIXM format without spending a fortune on specialized tools. But what if there was a smarter, more affordable way?
Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how Sweco partnered with Swedavia, the Swedish airport operator, to solve this challenge using FME and Esri.
Learn how they built automated workflows to manage periodic updates, merge airspace data, and support data extracts all while meeting strict government reporting requirements to the Civil Aviation Administration of Sweden.
Even better? Swedavia built custom services and applications that use the FME Flow REST API to trigger jobs and retrieve results streamlining tasks like securing the quality of new surveyor data, creating permdelta and baseline representations in the AIS schema, and generating AIXM extracts from their AIS data.
To conclude, FME expert Dean Hintz will walk through a GeoBorders reading workflow and highlight recent enhancements to FMEs AIXM (Aeronautical Information Exchange Model) processing and interpretation capabilities.

Utilities and water companies play a key role in the creation of clean drinking water. The creation and maintenance of clean drinking water is becoming a critical problem due to pollution and pressure on the environment. A lot of data is necessary to create clean drinking water. For fieldworkers, two types of data are key: Asset data in an asset management system (EAM for example) and Geographic data in a GIS (ArcGIS Utility Network ). Keeping this type of data up to date and in sync is a challenge for many organizations, leading to duplicating data and creating a bulk of extra attributes and data to keep everything in sync. Using FME, it is possible to synchronize Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) data with the ArcGIS Utility Network in real time. Changes (creation, modification, deletion) in ArcGIS Pro are relayed to EAM via FME, and vice versa. This ensures continuous synchronization of both systems without daily bulk updates, minimizes risks, and seamlessly integrates with ArcGIS Utility Network services. This presentation focuses on the use of FME at a Dutch water company, to create a sync between the asset management and GIS.Storytelling For The Web: Integrate Storytelling in your Design Process
