Education is an area where innovation moves slowly. In this study, we will propose a framework with a novel approach that will support the development of a multi-interactive chatbot’s system for an educational area using AIML 2.0. The system will facilitate the students for their learning towards an outcome-based education domain. The proposed framework will be composed of a user module which consists of user and user interface, chat agents module which will respond to the user query, chatbot KB which will act as the brain for the chatbot system, and socket system for establishing the communication link. Finally, the proposed system will be evaluated using a confusion matrix. The multichatbot communication system will support text-based dialogues on a limited set of questions related to education. However, the system will be implemented in java. The outcomes of this research will be useful for the education sector where these intelligent systems will help the students in schools, universities, and other training scenarios.

As the SQL injection attack is still at the top of the list at Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) for more than one decade, this type of attack created too many types of issues for a web application, sensors, or any similar type of applications, such as leakage of user private data and organization intellectual property, or may cause Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. This paper focused on the poor coding or invalidated input field which is a big cause of services unavailability for web applications. Secondly, it focused on the selection of program created issues for the WebSocket connections between sensors and the webserver. The number of users is growing to use web applications and mobile apps. These web applications or mobile apps are used for different purposes such as tracking vehicles, banking services, online stores for shopping, taxi booking, logistics, education, monitoring user activities, collecting data, or sending any instructions to sensors, and social websites. Web applications are easy to develop with less time and at a low cost. Due to that, business community or individual service provider’s first choice is to have a website and mobile app. So everyone is trying to provide 24/7 services to its users without any downtime. But there are some critical issues of web application design and development. These problems are leading to too many security loopholes for web servers, web applications, and its user’s privacy. Because of poor coding and validation of input fields, these web applications are vulnerable to SQL Injection and other security problems. Instead of using the latest third-party frameworks, language for website development, and version database server, another factor to disturb the services of a web server may be the socket programming for sensors at the production level. These sensors are installed in vehicles to track or use them for booking mobile apps.

The usage of the internet of things (IoT) devices is growing for the ease of life. From smart homes to smart cars, from smart transportation to smart cities, from smart hospitals to smart highways, these IoT devices send and receive highly sensitive data regarding the privacy of users or other information regarding the movement of users from one location to another location. The timing traces users when present at home and out of the home. But how does one secure this information from the attacker? There is a need for IoT devices security. As there are three layers of IoT devices—the application layer, network layer, and perception layer—three layers to be secure. IoT devices are heterogeneous and constrain energy consumption. The proposed solution in this chapter is three-way authentication of IoT devices by generating tokens from the device serial number and from the few configuration devices at the network layer. For high availability of IoT device services, the protection against distributed denial of service attack is implemented at the network layer.

The number of client-side attacks is increasing day-by-day. These attacks are launched by using various methods like phishing, drive-by downloads, click-frauds, social engineering, scareware, and ransomware. To get more advantage with less exertion and time, the attackers are focus on the clients, rather than servers which are more secured as compared to the clients. This makes clients as an easy target for the attackers on the Internet. A number of systems/tools have been created by the security community with various functions for detection of client-side attacks. The discovery of malicious servers that launch the client side attacks can be characterized in two types. First to detect malicious servers with passive detection which is often signature based. Second to detect the malicious servers with active detection often with dynamic malware analysis. Current systems or tools have more focus on identifying malicious servers rather than preventing the clients from those malicious servers. In this paper, we have proposed a solution for the detection and prevention of malicious servers that use the Bro Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and VirusTotal API 2.0. The detected malicious link is then blocked at the gateway.
