[SPARTA - bodies.dissemination-committee] Request for SPARTA acknowledgment in accepted paper

Dear Dissemination Committee, we have about to publish a paper for which we would like to acknowledge the SPARTA project. Please, find the version that we plan to submit in attachment and a brief description of the content, the venue and the relation with the activities of WP6 below. Please let us know if you have any objections or comments. Best regards Gabriele Costa === Title: RevOK: never trust your victim Venue: Research in Attacks, Intrusions and Defenses (RAID) 2020 Relationship with SPARTA: The paper presents a novel attacker model and a methodology that we applied to detect 36 vulnerabilities in security scanners. Among them, two were found in the famous tool Metasploit Pro. The relationship with SPARTA/HAII-T is that scanners are often used to probe the attack surface of an infrastructure. Thus, countermeasures such as the one reported in the paper can harden the future II against remote attacks. -- Gabriele Costa, PhD IMT School for Advanced Studies Piazza S.
