SynopsisA honeypot is a security tool deliberately designed to be vulnerable, thereby enticing attackers to probe, exploit, and compromise it. Since their introduction in the early 1990s, honeypots have remained among the most widely used tools for capturing cyberattacks, complementing traditional defenses such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems. They serve both as early warning systems and as sources of valuable attack data, enabling security professionals to study the techniques and behaviors of threat actors.While conventional honeypots have achieved significant success, they remain deterministic in their responses to attacks. This is where adaptive or intelligent honeypots come into play. An adaptive honeypot leverages Machine Learning techniques, such as Reinforcement Learning, to interact with attackers. These systems learn to take actions that can disrupt the normal execution flow of an attack, potentially forcing attackers to alter their techniques. As a result, attackers must find alternative routes or tools to achieve their objectives, ultimately leading to the collection of more attack data.Despite their advantages, traditional honeypots face two main challenges. First, emulation-based honeypots (also known as low- and medium-interaction honeypots) are increasingly susceptible to detection, which undermines their effectiveness in collecting meaningful attack data. Second, real-system-based honeypots (also known as high-interaction honeypots) pose security risks to the hosting organization if not properly isolated and protected. Since adaptive honeypots rely on the same underlying systems, they also inherit these challenges.This thesis investigates whether it is possible to design a honeypot system that mitigates these challenges while still fulfilling its primary objective of collecting attack data. To this end, it proposes a new abstract model for adaptive self-guarded honeypots, designed to balance attack data collection, detection evasion, and security preservation, ensuring that it does not pose a risk to the rest of the network.Jury membersProf. Wim VANHOOF, President, University of NamurProf. Jean-Noël COLIN, Promoter, University of NamurProf. Florentin ROCHET, Internal Member, University of NamurProf. Benoît FRENAY, Internal Member, University of NamurProf. Ramin SADRE, External Member, Catholic University of LeuvenDr. Jérôme FRANCOIS, External Member, University of LuxembourgYou are cordially invited to a drink, which will follow the public defense.

Synopsis deep learning methods have become increasingly popular for building intelligent systems. Currently, many deep learning architectures constitute the state of the art in their respective domains, such as image recognition, text generation, speech recognition, etc. The availability of mature libraries and frameworks to develop such systems is also a key factor in this success.This work explores the use of these architectures to build intelligent systems for sign languages. The creation of large sign language data corpora has made it possible to train deep learning architectures from scratch. The contributions presented in this work cover all aspects of the development of an intelligent system based on deep learning. A first contribution is the creation of a database for the Langue des Signes de Belgique Francophone (LSFB). This is derived from an existing corpus and has been adapted to the needs of deep learning methods. The possibility of using crowdsourcing methods to collect more data is also explored.The second contribution is the development or adaptation of architectures for automatic sign language recognition. The use of contrastive methods to learn better representations is explored, and the transferability of these representations to other sign languages is assessed.Finally, the last contribution is the integration of models into software for the general public. This led to a reflection on the challenges of integrating an intelligent module into the software development life cycle.Jury membersProf. Wim VANHOOF, President, University of NamurProf. Benoît FRENAY, Promoter, University of NamurProf. Anthony CLEVE, Co-promoter, University of NamurProf. Laurence MEURANT, Internal Member, University of NamurProf. Lorenzo BARALDI, External Member, University of ModenaProf. Annelies BRAFFORT, External Member, University of Paris-SaclayProf. Joni DAMBRE, External Member, University of GhentYou are cordially invited to a drink, which will follow the public defense.

Improvisational show with actress-improviser Christelle Delbrouck and assistant stage manager Sophie Jallet. At a time when everything has to appear smooth and unblemished, when uncomfortable subjects are banished from our daily conversations so as not to offend anyone, we feel it's important to take a few risks and start tackling the truth around us again. In an offbeat way, or with a real head-on clash. All the while taking people's opinions into account.Christelle Delbrouck, Godmother of Dignity Week, combines humor, sensitivity and commitment, ideal qualities for embodying and promoting a message as essential as that of human dignity. As a committed artist, she uses humor and theater to tackle social issues with depth and kindness. Her work often highlights issues of social justice, respect and equality.FreeBar provided by a student collective Registration for UNamur members Registration for external persons
