D-ForenRIA
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We present D-ForenRIA, a distributed forensic tool to automatically reconstruct user-sessions in Rich Internet Applications (RIAs), using solely the full HTTP traces of the sessions as input. D-ForenRIA recovers automatically each browser state, reconstructs the DOMs and re-creates screenshots of what was displayed to the user. The tool also recovers every action taken by the user on each state, including the user-input data. Our application domain is security forensics, where sometimes months-old sessions must be quickly reconstructed for immediate inspection. We will demonstrate our tool on a series of RIAs, including a vulnerable banking application created by IBM Security for testing purposes. In that case study, the attacker visits the vulnerable web site, and exploits several vulnerabilities (SQL-injections, XSS...) to gain access to private information and to perform unauthorized transactions. D-ForenRIA can reconstruct the session, including screenshots of all pages seen by the hacker, DOM of each page and the steps taken for unauthorized login and the inputs hacker exploited for the SQL-injection attack. D-ForenRIA is made efficient by applying advanced reconstruction techniques and by using several browsers concurrently to speed up the reconstruction process. Although we developed D-ForenRIA in the context of security forensics, the tool can also be useful in other contexts such as aided RIAs debugging and automated RIAs scanning.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
