As our professional, social, and financial existences become increasingly digitized and as our government, healthcare, and military infrastructures rely more on computer technologies, they present larger and more lucrative targets for malware. Stealth malware in particular poses an increased threat because it is specifically designed to evade detection mechanisms, spreading dormant, in the wild for...
More and more networks and services are reachable via IPv6 and the interest for security monitoring of these IPv6 networks is increasing. Honeypots are valuable tools to monitor and analyse network attacks. HoneydV6 is a low-interaction honeypot which is well suited to deal with the large IPv6 address space, since it is capable of simulating a large number of virtual hosts on a single machine. This...
In this paper, we inspire from two analogies: the warfare kill zone and the airport check-in system, to design and deploy a new line in the defense-in-depth strategy, called the third line. This line is represented by a security framework, named the Intrusion Ambushing System and is designed to tackle the issue of SMS-based malware in the Android-based Smartphones. The framework exploits the security...
The modern cyber crime activities largely rely on malware-based infrastructure, i.e. botnets and backdoors in popular services for collecting private financial data, distributed denial of service and etc. A significant effort to develop better methods and tools for accurate malware detection and prevention is mounted both by the industry and academic community. With this paper we present current research...
Malware obfuscation is defined as a program transformation. It is always used in malware to evade detection from anti-malware software. In this paper, we propose a method to detect malware obfuscation using maximal patterns. Maximal pattern is a subsequence in malware's runtime system call sequence, which frequently appears in program execution, and can be used to describe the program specific behavior...
Intruders will normally install some tools when he gains access to a computer system, in order to regain the root privilege when he come back onto the system at a later time. Installing a rookit on the compromised system is one of the methods that a intruder may use. The kernel of the operating system which is the lowest level of most modern OS will be modified by a kernel level rootkit. In this paper...
The malicious code has characteristic of various types, and its ability of hiding increases quickly. In this paper, according to the analysis of hiding technology of malicious programs, it proposed a new idea of detecting malware based on the raw data. Finally, the results are given, which are compared with the current security detection scanners. It is a beneficial attempt of this method in detecting...
