    APWF: A Parallel Website Fingerprinting Attack with Attention Mechanism

    Dawei Xu1,2,3, Min Wang1, Yue Lv1, Moxuan Fu2, Yi Wu4,5,*, Jian Zhao1

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.82, No.2, pp. 2027-2041, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.058178 - 17 February 2025

    Abstract Website fingerprinting (WF) attacks can reveal information about the websites users browse by de-anonymizing encrypted traffic. Traditional website fingerprinting attack models, focusing solely on a single spatial feature, are inefficient regarding training time. When confronted with the concept drift problem, they suffer from a sharp drop in attack accuracy within a short period due to their reliance on extensive, outdated training data. To address the above problems, this paper proposes a parallel website fingerprinting attack (APWF) that incorporates an attention mechanism, which consists of an attack model and a fine-tuning method. Among them, the APWF… More >

    CMAES-WFD: Adversarial Website Fingerprinting Defense Based on Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy

    Di Wang, Yuefei Zhu, Jinlong Fei*, Maohua Guo

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.79, No.2, pp. 2253-2276, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.049504 - 15 May 2024

    Abstract Website fingerprinting, also known as WF, is a traffic analysis attack that enables local eavesdroppers to infer a user’s browsing destination, even when using the Tor anonymity network. While advanced attacks based on deep neural network (DNN) can perform feature engineering and attain accuracy rates of over 98%, research has demonstrated that DNN is vulnerable to adversarial samples. As a result, many researchers have explored using adversarial samples as a defense mechanism against DNN-based WF attacks and have achieved considerable success. However, these methods suffer from high bandwidth overhead or require access to the target… More >
