    Observable and Reproducible Sandbox Environment for Cybersecurity Research
    (IEEE, 2026-07)
    ;
    ;
    The availability of controlled sandbox environments from which relevant network traces and system logs can be obtained is a prerequisite for studying network attacks. Such data is also essential for the development of novel security tools as well as for evaluating the effectiveness of various incident response strategies. A persistent challenge faced by security researchers is how to set up these environments in a consistent manner, guaranteeing the integrity of the underlying infrastructure while still providing meaningful data. In this paper we present the design of a secure, reproducible, and observable sandbox in which purposefully vulnerable applications are deployed and exploited. Every interaction is monitored in real time using strategically placed network probes, performance monitoring agents, and log shippers. The use of modern configuration management tools eliminates configuration drift and entropy, guaranteeing reproducibility of the deployed scenarios. We describe practical approaches for implementing the sandbox, detailing the tools and methods required for real-world deployment. Using a recent sandbox instantiation as an example, we demonstrate how the acquired network data can be used to identify attack patterns, analyze defense strategies, and assess overall incident response effectiveness. The obtained dataset is open-sourced and can be reused to support further research.

    MetriKG: Profiling Static and Evolving Knowledge Graphs
    (ACM, 2026-05-28)

    Knowledge graphs (KGs) are a foundational technology for representing and integrating information across heterogeneous domains. As some KGs evolve, understanding how their structural and semantic properties change over time is crucial for ensuring quality, consistency, and interpretability. Existing methods for KG evaluation often focus on static graphs or analyze evolution solely at the data level, leaving schema-level dynamics underexplored. To address this gap, we introduce MetriKG, a web-based application that computes a comprehensive set of metrics for both static and evolving KGs. MetriKG enables users to evaluate KGs provided as RDF files or through SPARQL endpoints, allowing for multi-dimensional analysis of aspects such as cohesion, connectivity, and inheritance depth. By supporting metric computation at both data and schema levels, MetriKG allows for systematic profiling, classification, and temporal monitoring of KGs. MetriKG is open-source and publicly available.

    The Faculty of Computer Science and Engineer ing (FCSE) at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in North Macedonia has adopted an innovative approach to develop and maintain IT solutions through student-faculty collaboration. This paper presents a case study of this collaboration, focusing on projects undertaken within the Web Programming course. Through the integration of students into the development and management of services, FCSE addresses operational challenges while providing students with valuable learning experiences. The paper outlines the implementation strategy, emphasizing the use of a centralized database and multiple web applications aligned with course content. Furthermore, it discusses the increasing student enrollment in the course, indicating growing interest and participation in collaborative projects. Overall, this paper highlights the benefits of this collaborative approach in preparing students for future endeavors in web development and fostering continuous improvement within FCSE.
