Abstract: A technique to stop lateral movement of ransomware between endpoints in a VLAN is disclosed. A security appliance is set as the default gateway for intra-LAN communication by overwriting the DHCP responses. Message traffic from compromised endpoints is detected. Attributes of ransomware may be detected in the message traffic, as well as attempts to circumvent the security appliance. Compromised devices may be quarantined. Additionally, the DHCP address assignment may be policed to ensure accuracy and correctness to provide an additional layer of security.

Abstract: A method for measuring the cover thickness of a reinforcing bar in concrete. An impacting device and a receiver are disposed on the concrete surface along the longitudinal axis of the reinforcing bar with a predetermined distance H provided between the impacting device and the receiver. Then, an impact is applied on the concrete surface by the impacting device, to generate a dilatational wave which propagates into the concrete and is totally refracted at an interface between the concrete and the reinforcing bar, and is received by the receiver. Then, the cover thickness of the reinforcing bar is calculated according to the travel time for the dilatational wave from the impact device through the reinforcing bar to the receiver.
