Security issues in online games are increasing as the online game industry grows. Real money trading (RMT) by online game users has become a security issue in several countries including Korea because RMT is related to criminal activities such as money laundering or tax evasion. RMT-related activities are done by professional work forces, namely gold-farmers, and many of them employ the automated program, bot, to gain cyber asset in a quick and efficient way. Online game companies try to prevent the activities of gold-farmers using game bots detection algorithm and block their accounts or IP addresses. However, game bot detection algorithm can detect a part of gold-farmer's network and IP address blocking also can be detoured easily by using the virtual private server or IP spoofing. In this paper, we propose a method to detect gold-farmer groups by analyzing their connection patterns to the online game servers, particularly information on their routing and source locations. We verified that the proposed method can reveal gold-farmers' group effectively by analyzing real data from the famous MMORPG.

There has been necessity of an air free ionization chamber using the gold-crystal-aluminium plates, henceforth called the crystal chamber. The crystal chamber formed of parallel plates is very small in size and has more response for absorbed dose of therapeutic radiation beams. The gold plate on the crystal facing the photon and electron beam acts as an intensifier of signals and crystal plate as an ionization medium respectively. Both the copper guard ring and the aluminum collecting electrode are connected to an electrometer. Using high energy photon (6, 15 MV) and electron (9, 12, 15, 18 MeV) beams, the responses of the crystal chamber are evaluated against a PTW Farmer-type chamber at a field size of 10${\times}$10cm$^2$ and 100 cm SSD. The responses of crystal chamber for therapeutic radiation electron and photon beams are greater in magnitude by several order than Farmer. The crystal chamber has good linearity without correction factor C$\_$t,p/ with respect to the signals, a reading reproduction with good accuracy and precision less than 0.5%, and has other useful functions in measuring radiation beams.

온라인 게임 내 가상재화를 현실 세계의 재화로 교환할 수 있다는 점 때문에, PC기반 온라인 게임 내 가상세계는 많은 작업장(Gold-farmer)들로 인한 부정행위가 빈번히 일어나고 있다. 사이버 재화를 현금거래하는 RMT (Real Money Trading)은 과거에는 PC기반 온라인게임, 특히 고포류 게임이나 MMORPG와 같은 장르들에 주로 존재했으나, 모바일 게임에서도 최근 몇 년 간 거래시장이 활발해 지고, 가치가 높은 아이템들이 출현하기 시작하면서 거래 규모가 비약적으로 성장하고 있다. 이로 인해, PC게임에서만 존재하던 작업장이 모바일 게임에도 출현하고, 게임계정 도용을 위한 모바일 악성앱이 등장하는 등 모바일 게임 내의 부정 행위 및 공격 시도 역시 증가하고 있다. 모바일 게임은 하드웨어의 성능 제약 문제, 네트워크 통신의 항상성이 보장되지 않는 문제, 안드로이드 등 플랫폼 OS 자체의 보안 문제, 앱 자체의 디컴파일 문제와 같이 근본적으로 해결하기 어려운 취약점이 존재하는 환경에서 구동되기 때문에 PC기반 게임에서의 게임 봇 및 작업장 탐지와 같은 기법을 적용하기에는 적합하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 모바일 게임 보안과 PC 게임 보안 기법들을 비교하고, 향후 모바일 게임 보안 향상을 위해 할 수 있는 방안을 제시해 보도록 한다.

The usage or agricultural chemicals is on the increasing tendency. Methyl bromide and organophosphate are the most widely used toxic agricultural chemicals in Korea. We try to set up the methods to detect the accumulation of these chemicals in Korean farmers. Blood samples were collected for 121 farmers of slack's season in February 1998. And survey about arable acreage and usage of the gloves and masks was also performed. Serum cholinesterase activities and bromide concentrations were measured with gold chloride method and colorimetric method. The reference ranges of serum cholinesterase activity and bromide concentration were 1.6~15.9 U/mL and below $72.9{\mu}g/mL$. Serum bromide concentrations of farmers and normal controls showed no differences. Serum cholinesterase activities of farmers were significantly higher than those of normal controls. According to the arable acreages and usage of the gloves and masks, serum bromide concentrations and cholinesterase activities showed no differences. In conclusion, serum cholinesterase activities and bromide concentrations showed no differences between farmers of slack's season and normal controls.
