Different flavours of Man-In-The-Middle attack, consequences and feasible solutions

Abstract: Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attack is one of the primary techniques employed in computer based hacking. MITM attack can successfully invoke attacks such as Denial of service (DoS), DNS spoofing and Port stealing. MITM attack is particularly suitable in a LAN environment, Where it is typically performed through ARP poisoning. MITM attack of every kind has lot of surprising consequences in store for users such as, stealing online account userid, password, stealing of local ftp id, ssh or telnet session etc. This paper emphasizes on different types of MITM attacks, their consequences and feasible solutions under different circumstances giving users options to choose one from various solutions. ARP spoofing and its effect in a LAN environment is studied in detail to achieve the stated objective.

Role of Y Box Protein-1 in cancer: As potential biomarker and novel therapeutic target

Abstract: The Y-box binding protein (YB-1) is known to be a multifunctional transcription and translation factor during expression of several proteins. It is a vital oncoprotein that regulates cancer cell progression and proliferation. YB-1 is over-expressed in various human cancers such as breast cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer, oesophageal cancer and glioblastoma. Nuclear expression of YB-1 is found to be associated with multidrug resistance and cancer cell progression. YB-1 is reported to regulate many cellular signalling pathways in different types of cancer proliferation. Knowledge about nuclear localization and nuclear level expression of YB-1 in different cancers has been correlated with prospective prognosis of cancer. This review discusses the prospects of YB-1 as a potential biomarker as well as therapeutic target in lieu of their role during cancer progression and multidrug resistance.
