This guide helps researchers evaluate whether a security or privacy project is a suitable fit for top-tier academic conferences like IEEE S&P. It covers critical fit tests, such as establishing a defensible threat model and ensuring end-to-end evidence closure. It also provides advice on SoK paper formats, routing among major security venues (USENIX, CCS, NDSS), and adhering to submission rules like one-year embargoes.

A comprehensive guide for authors targeting the International Symposium on Research in Attacks, Intrusions and Defenses (RAID). This skill helps authors optimize their paper's positioning, strengthen the evidence chain (focusing on operational relevance and realistic evaluation), and structure submissions to meet the rigorous standards of top-tier cybersecurity conferences, thereby maximizing acceptance chances. It covers scope alignment, contribution types, and structural best practices.

A comprehensive guide for drafting and revising security research papers intended for top-tier conferences like IEEE S&P (Oakland). It teaches authors how to structure their work to withstand rigorous reviewer scrutiny, focusing on passing the 'first-round survival test,' implementing load-bearing threat models, and calibrating all claims to remove hyperbole and ensure maximum impact within strict page limits.

This guide provides comprehensive standards for conducting and presenting experimental evidence in high-level communication journals (JOC). It emphasizes moving beyond simple results to ensure statistical rigor, reproducibility, and comprehensive coverage of physical layer, network, and security aspects, helping submissions withstand expert peer review.

This guide models the three-stage review process for the Journal on Communications (JOC). It helps authors understand the initial screening (format, relevance, plagiarism), expert peer review, and final committee review. By predicting potential outcomes and identifying strategic 'levers' at each stage, users can effectively revise manuscripts, manage submission timelines, and significantly increase the chances of successful publication in communication, networking, or information security fields.

A comprehensive guide for researchers aiming to submit manuscripts to the Journal on Communications (JOC). It helps users assess if their topic fits the core communication discipline (theory, wireless, networking, security, signal processing) and distinguishes it from related academic journals. The guide also assists in selecting the appropriate article type and ensuring sufficient innovation and empirical rigor before submission.

Performs a comprehensive security audit of Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementations, including servers, clients, and tools. This skill reviews code against critical security baselines (MCP-01 to MCP-05), OWASP MCP Top 10, and common Remote Code Execution (RCE) vectors (e.g., command injection, deserialization, SSRF). The output provides a detailed report with file and line references, ensuring compliance and identifying vulnerabilities before release. Use this when auditing network-exposed services or client security posture.

A comprehensive guide for researchers preparing robust, reproducible, and ethically sound artifacts for major security conferences. It details how to claim 'Available,' 'Functional,' and 'Reproduced' badges, structure the submission package, and responsibly gate dangerous exploit code while adhering to disclosure embargoes.

This guide provides a comprehensive framework for authors responding to peer reviews in major security conferences. It details how to triage reviewers' comments, structure technical responses (pointing to evidence, not arguing), handle complex objections like adaptive attacks and ethics, and effectively participate in the interactive discussion phase to refine the paper.

A comprehensive guide detailing the high standards required for presenting security evidence at major conferences. It covers methodologies for proving claims—including attacks, defenses, and detection systems—across live internet measurements, controlled testbeds, and emulation. Key requirements include adaptive adversary modeling, rigorous measurement hygiene, and adherence to ethical review protocols to ensure results are reproducible and relevant to real-world networks.

A comprehensive guide for positioning security research submissions (e.g., for NDSS, USENIX). It teaches how to write the 'Related Work' section not as a mere literature review, but as a critical security argument that establishes genuine novelty (the 'delta') by distinguishing mechanisms, layers, and preconditions from prior art. Covers citation verification, handling concurrent work, and double-blind anonymity rules.

A comprehensive guide for researchers to ensure network security findings are reproducible and verifiable. It covers techniques for freezing volatile environments (targets, networks, toolchains), anonymizing sensitive data traces, maintaining a detailed claims ledger, and ethically stating limitations.
