Unfortunately, an attack that is detected after it has occurred is, in essence, a successful one. Advance warning of potential attacks could aid in their detection. Before an attack is launched the attacker often performs reconnaissance on the target host or network to learn its vulnerabilities. If malicious network reconnaissance can be detected and identified, it can serve as a warning of future attacks and may provide clues as to the identity of the attacker. This paper presents a novel technique for the automated detection of malicious network reconnaissance in a live network.","PeriodicalId":129377,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Ultrasonic sensors are among those sensors that are used in robotics applications for providing successful distance determination.

The motor position information is obtained from a synchro mounted on the shaft of the motor. The synchro output is measured, interpreted and appropriate control signals are generated by the LabVIEW program. The data transfer to and from the computer is conducted via the DAQ's input and output ports respectively.
