LLM-Guided Prompt Evolution for Password Guessing

Passwords still remain a dominant authentication method, yet their security is routinely subverted by predictable user choices and large-scale credential leaks. Automated password guessing is a key tool for stress-testin…

Stochastic Database Cracking: Towards Robust Adaptive Indexing in Main-Memory Column-Stores

Modern business applications and scientific databases call for inherently dynamic data storage environments. Such environments are characterized by two challenging features: (a) they have little idle system time to devot…

Pavement Fatigue Crack Detection and Severity Classification Based on Convolutional Neural Network

Due to the varying intensity of pavement cracks, the complexity of topological structure, and the noise of texture background, image classification for asphalt pavement cracking has proven to be a challenging problem. Fa…
