Abstract: Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) pose significant risks to modern network infrastructures. Traditional honeypot systems, while useful for deception and attack intelligence gathering, often lack adaptability, making them ineffective against sophisticated adversaries. This study proposes a reinforced honeypot technique that integrates game theory and reinforcement learning (RL) to enhance cyber defence mechanisms. The methodology used for.......

Abstract: Groundwater plays a pivotal role in fulfilling the water requirements of urban, peri-urban, and rural communities, especially in semi-arid regions such as Belagavi and Karnataka. With the rising demand driven by rapid urbanization, agricultural intensification, and industrial expansion, the sustainability and quality of subsurface water sources—openwells and borewells—have become a critical concern. This project offers a comprehensive evaluation of subsurface water quality in selected localities of Belagavi, namely Hindalga, Ambewadi, and Ganeshpur,......
