A new kind of malware called Mirai is spreading like wildfire. Mirai is characterized by targeting Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Since IoT devices are increasing explosively, it is not realistic to manage their vulnerability by human-wave tactics. This paper proposes a new approach that uses a white-hat worm to fight malware. The white-hat worm is an extension of an IoT worm called Hajime and introduces lifespan and secondary infectivity (the ability to infect a device infected by Mirai). The proposed white-hat worm was expressed as a formal model with agent-oriented Petri nets called PN 2 . The model enables us to simulate a battle between the white-hat worm and Mirai. The result of the simulation evaluation shows that (i) the lifespan successfully reduces the worm’s remaining if short; (ii) if the worm has low secondary infectivity, its effect depends on the lifespan; and (iii) if the worm has high secondary infectivity, it is effective without depending on the lifespan.

In recent years, the use of mobile and cloud Computing is rapidly growing. In other word, mobile and cloud Computing play an important role in everybody's life today. It carries rich computational resources to mobile users, network operators, as well as cloud computing providers. Moreover, the explosion of multimedia big data (image, video, 3D, etc.) in mobile and cloud computing have created unprecedented opportunities and fundamental security and privacy challenges as they are not just big in volume, but also unstructured and multi-modal. Therefore, the papers of this special issue address variety of security and privacy issues of multimedia big data in mobile and cloud computing and security of other aspects of mobile and cloud networks and also emphasizes many open questions. We anticipate that papers of this special issue will open new entrance for further research and technology improvements in this important area.

Emergence of Industry 4.0 in current economic trend promotes the usage of Internet of Things (IoT) in product development. Counting people on streets or at entrances of places is indeed beneficial for security, tracking and marketing purposes. The usage of cameras or closed-circuit television (CCTV) for surveillance purposes has emerged the need of tools for the digital imagery content analysis to improve the system. The purpose of this project is to design a cloud-based people counter using Raspberry Pi embedded system and send the received data to ThingSpeak, IoT platform. The initial stage of the project is simulation and coding development using OpenCV and Python. For the hardware development, a Pi camera is used to capture the video footage and monitor the people movement. Raspberry Pi acts as the microcontroller for the system and process the video to perform people counting. Experiment have been conducted to measure the performance of the system in the actual environment, people counting on saved video footage and visualized the data on ThingSpeak platform.

<span lang="EN-MY">The idea of Internet of Things (IoT) based traffic management &amp; routing solution for parking space is due to the vehicle parking has become major issue in urban areas. The growing number of vehicles has contributed to the traffic problem and vehicle parking issue nowadays. The main purpose of this project is to assist the user to locate the vacant parking space, which help to reduce time and fuel consumption on searching the parking space. This proposed system was used online system via website application, which assist people to find the available parking slot. In fact, the system counted the capacity of the available parking space and notified the user through the website application. Frankly, the system was equipped with an ultrasonic sensor, which acts as the detector that sent data to the microcontroller in order to update into UBIDOTS cloud server for data logger purposes. This system could lessen or solve the time management problem at the parking area, which user could save their time by checking the available parking slots in advance through the website application.</span>
