A novel malware for subversion of self‐protection in anti‐virus

Byungho Min, Vijay Varadharajan

Software: Practice and Experience > 46 > 3 > 361 - 379

Major anti‐virus solutions have introduced a feature known as ‘self‐protection’ so that malware (and even users) cannot modify or disable the core functionality of their products. In this paper, we have investigated 12 anti‐virus products from four vendors (AVG, Avira, McAfee and Symantec) and have discovered that they have certain security weaknesses that can be exploited by malware. We have then...

10 Gb/s adaptive receive-side merged near-end and far-end crosstalk cancellation circuitry in 65 nm CMOS

Byungho Min, Noah Hae-Woong Yang, Samuel Palermo

Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing > 2016 > 88 > 2 > 233-243

Crosstalk between neighboring channels can have significant impact on system bit-error rate (BER) as serial I/O data rates scale above 10 Gb/s. This paper presents receive-side circuitry which merges the cancellation of both near-end and far-end crosstalk (NEXT/FEXT) and can automatically adapt to different channel environments and variations in process, voltage, and temperature. NEXT cancellation...

Design and Evaluation of Feature Distributed Malware Attacks against the Internet of Things (IoT)

Byungho Min, Vijay Varadharajan

2015 20th International Conference on Engineering of Complex Computer Systems (ICECCS) > 80 - 89

2015 20th International Conference on Engineering of Complex Computer Systems (ICECCS)

In this paper, we analyse the Internet of Things (IoT) aspect of smart home from a security perspective, and adapt an advanced malware technique (called feature-distributed malware) for the IoT. We design several attacks including cyber-physical system attacks and advanced cyber attacks, and then evaluate their impact via practical evaluations. Our proposed offensive techniques are based on the following...

Secure Dynamic Software Loading and Execution Using Cross Component Verification

Byungho Min, Vijay Varadharajan

2015 45th Annual IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks > 113 - 124

2015 45th Annual IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN)

In this paper, we propose a cross verification mechanism for secure execution and dynamic component loading. Our mechanism is based on a combination of code signing and same-origin policy, and it blocks several types of attacks from drive-by download attacks to malicious component loadings such as DLL hijacking, DLL side-loading, binary hijacking, typical DLL injection and loading of newly installed...

Antivirus security: naked during updates

Byungho Min, Vijay Varadharajan, Udaya Tupakula, Michael Hitchens

Software: Practice and Experience > 44 > 10 > 1201 - 1222

The security of modern computer systems heavily depends on security tools, especially on antivirus software solutions. In the anti‐malware research community, development of techniques for evading detection by antivirus software is an active research area. This has led to malware that can bypass or subvert antivirus software. The common strategies deployed include the use of obfuscated code and staged...

Design and Analysis of a New Feature-Distributed Malware

Byungho Min, Vijay Varadharajan

2014 IEEE 13th International Conference on Trust, Security and Privacy in Computing and Communications > 457 - 464

2014 IEEE 13th International Conference on Trust, Security and Privacy in Computing and Communications (TrustCom)

In this paper, we propose a new advanced malware that distributes its features to multiple software components in order to bypass various security policies such as application white listing and security tools like anti-virus. A tool that automatically generates such malware has been developed, and malware instances generated by this tool have been evaluated, showing the risks of the proposed malware...

Design and Analysis of Security Attacks against Critical Smart Grid Infrastructures

Byungho Min, Vijay Varadharajan

2014 19th International Conference on Engineering of Complex Computer Systems > 59 - 68

2014 19th International Conference on Engineering of Complex Computer Systems (ICECCS)

Smart grid, the future power grid, is expected to provide better energy efficiency, more customer choices and improved reliability and security. As the smart grid is an integrated system that consists of multiple subsystems, understanding it as a whole system is required to fully understand the security risks it faces. In this paper, a sophisticated cyber-physical system (CPS) unique malware attack...

10 Gb/s adaptive receive-side near-end and far-end crosstalk cancellation circuitry

Byungho Min, Noah Hae-Woong Yang, Samuel Palermo

2014 IEEE 57th International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MWSCAS) > 77 - 80

2014 IEEE 57th International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MWSCAS)

As serial I/O data rates scale above 10 Gb/s, crosstalk between neighboring channels degrades system bit-error rate (BER) performance. This paper presents receive-side circuitry which merges the cancellation of both near-end and far-end crosstalk (NEXT/FEXT) and can automatically adapt to different channel environments and variations in process, voltage, and temperature. NEXT cancellation is realized...

A New Technique for Counteracting Web Browser Exploits

Byungho Min, Vijay Varadharajan

2014 23rd Australian Software Engineering Conference > 132 - 141

2014 23rd Australian Software Engineering Conference (ASWEC)

Over the last few years, exploit kits have been increasingly used for system compromise and malware propagation. As they target the web browser which is one of the most commonly used software in the Internet era, exploit kits have become a major concern of security community. In this paper, we propose a proactive approach to protecting vulnerable systems from this prevalent cyber threat. Our technique...

A 20Gb/s triple-mode (PAM-2, PAM-4, and duobinary) transmitter

Byungho Min, Keytaek Lee, Samuel Palermo

Microelectronics Journal > 2012 > 43 > 10 > 687-696

Increasing data rates over electrical channels with significant frequency-dependent loss is difficult due to excessive inter-symbol interference (ISI). In order to achieve sufficient link margins at high rates, I/O system designers implement equalization in the transmitters and are motivated to consider more spectrally-efficient modulation formats relative to the common PAM-2 scheme, such as PAM-4...

A compound framework for sports results prediction: A football case study

Byungho Min, Jinhyuck Kim, Chongyoun Choe, Hyeonsang Eom, more

Knowledge-Based Systems > 2008 > 21 > 7 > 551-562

We propose a framework for sports prediction using Bayesian inference and rule-based reasoning, together with an in-game time-series approach. The framework is novel in three ways. The framework consists of two major components: a rule-based reasoner and a Bayesian network component. The two different approaches cooperate in predicting the results of sports matches. It is motivated by the observation...

Children's neighborhood place as a psychological and behavioral domain

Byungho Min, Jongmin Lee

Journal of Environmental Psychology > 2006 > 26 > 1 > 51-71

Interviews of 91 children living in a large high-rise, high-density planned neighborhood of 5277 families reveal that children find most of their psychologically valued settings within the neighborhood outdoor spaces such as designated play areas and developed parks. They are aware of differences in experience between such valued ‘places’ and other ‘spaces’. They choose the places because such places...
