In this paper, we present a new method for classifying malicious URLs to reduce cases of learning difficulties due to unfamiliar and difficult terms related to information protection. This study plans to extract only visually distinguishable features within the URL structure and compare them through map learning algorithms, and to compare the contribution values of the best map learning algorithm methods to extract features that have the most impact on classifying malicious URLs. As research data, Kaggle used data that classified 7,046 malicious URLs and 7.046 normal URLs. As a result of the study, among the three supervised learning algorithms used (Decision Tree, Support Vector Machine, and Logistic Regression), the Decision Tree algorithm showed the best performance with 83% accuracy, 83.1% F1-score and 83.6% Recall values. It was confirmed that the contribution value of https is the highest among whether to use https, sub domain, and prefix and suffix, which can be visually distinguished through the feature contribution of Decision Tree. Although it has been difficult to learn unfamiliar and difficult terms so far, this study will be able to provide an intuitive judgment method without explanation of the terms and prove its usefulness in the field of malicious URL detection.

Domestic and international CERTs are carrying out security monitoring and response services based on security devices for intrusion incident prevention and damage minimization of the organizations. However, the security monitoring and response service has a fatal limitation in that it is unable to detect unknown attacks that are not matched to the predefined signatures. In recent, many approaches have adopted the darknet technique in order to overcome the limitation. Since the darknet means a set of unused IP addresses, no real systems connected to the darknet. Thus, all the incoming traffic to the darknet can be regarded as attack activities. In this paper, we present a collection and analysis method of malicious URLs based on darkent traffic for advanced security monitoring and response service. The proposed method prepared 8,192 darknet space and extracted all of URLs from the darknet traffic, and carried out in-depth analysis for the extracted URLs. The analysis results can contribute to the emergence response of large-scale cyber threats and it is able to improve the performance of the security monitoring and response if we apply the malicious URLs into the security devices, DNS sinkhole service, etc.

무작위 SQL 삽입 공격 등을 통해 웹서버 해킹 사례가 꾸준히 증가하고 있으며, 대부분의 해킹된 웹서버는 난독화된 자바 스크립트 코드가 웹페이지에 삽입되어 악성코드 경유/유포지로 악용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 난독화된 자바 스크립트 복원 및 취약한 ActiveX 생성에 사용되는 주요 함수에 대해 후킹 기술을 적용한 브라우저를 이용해서 난독화된 스크립트를 자동으로 해독하고, 악성코드 경유/유포지로 악용되는 웹 서버를 탐지할 수 있는 기술을 제안한다. 또한 제안 기술을 프로토타입 시스템으로 구현하고, 악성 URL 공유 사이트를 통해 수집한 난독화된 자바 스크립트 샘플 분석을 통해 제안한 기술이 높은 악성코드 경유/유포지 탐지율을 보이는 것을 증명한다.

본 논문에서는 미러링 환경에서 동작하는 악성링크 차단 및 URL 필터링 시스템에서 URL 접속을 차단할 수 있는 페이지 리다이렉션 기술을 소개한다. 미러링(Mirroring: Out of Path) 환경에서 URL 패킷을 차단하기 위해서 많이 사용하고 있는 방법으로는 RST (Reset) 패킷을 전송하여 세션을 종료하는 방법이다. 이 방법은 요청 서버에 RST(Reset) 패킷을 보내 강제로 종료하는 방식이기 때문에 사용자에게 접근 차단과 관련된 상태 등의 정보를 알려줄 수 없다. 현재 인라인(In-line) 방식에서 사용되고 있는 페이지 리다이렉션 기술을 미러링 환경에서 구현하여 사용자에게 차단 정보를 보여줄 수 있으며 다양한 장비 개발 환경에서 유용하게 사용할 수 있는 기술이라고 판단한다.

New malware continues to increase and become advanced by every year. Although various studies are going on executable files to diagnose malicious codes, it is difficult to detect attacks that internalize malicious code threats in emails by exploiting non-executable document files, malicious URLs, and malicious macros and JS in documents. In this paper, we introduce a method of analyzing malicious code for email security through proactive detection and blocking of malicious email attacks, and propose a method for determining whether a non-executable document file is malicious based on AI. Among various algorithms, an efficient machine learning modeling is choosed, and an ML workflow system to diagnose malicious code using Kubeflow is proposed.

In the malware distribution network existing on the web, there is a central node that plays a key role in distributing malware. If you find and block this node, you can effectively block the propagation of malware. In this study, a centrality search method applied with risk analysis in a complex network is proposed, and a method for finding a core node in a malware distribution network is introduced through this approach. In addition, there is a big difference between a benign network and a malicious network in terms of in-degree and out-degree, and also in terms of network layout. Through these characteristics, we can discriminate between malicious and benign networks.

Recently, Phising attack uses trick of URL and sites, and technical concealment method which infiltrates sophisticated malicious code. However, sometimes Phising security technology cannot cover all of Phising methods. Consequently, this research proposes inspection to solve this problem. First, we can install Proxy server for a strong open information exchange of web environment between web servers and clients. Therefore, it compares and analyzes harmful site and Phising URL with White domain list, and filters them. Finally, designs for stable web based information so that we can block Phising with least regulation and active control. So the purpose of this paper is introducing this design system and structure, and inspect them.

다크웹을 이용한 사이버 범죄율이 국내외에서 가파르게 상승 중이다. 그러나 다크웹의 특성상 숨겨져 있는 인터넷 영역에서 공유되는 악성코드들을 찾기란 어렵다. 특히 다크웹상 여러 서비스들은 크롤러 bot과 같은 정보 수집을 막고자 다양한 기법을 적용하고 있다. 따라서 우리는 기존의 연구 방법에 따라 다크웹 상의 URL을 수집한 후, 추가적으로 다운로더를 만들어 exe, zip과 같은 특정 형식의 파일을 수집하였다. 앞으로 해당 파일들은 통합 바이러스 스캔 엔진에서 검사하여 의심 파일들을 분별할 예정이다. 의심 파일들은 정적 / 동적 분석을 통해 상세한 보고서를 제출하여 향후 다크웹 내의 악성코드 분포 / 출처 분석에 유의미한 결과를 도출할 수 있다.

본 논문은 최근 가장 이슈화 되고 있는 스미싱 위협의 방지에 대해 다루며, 단순히 스미싱 방지뿐만 아니라 탐지율 향상, 오탐률 감소를 위해 새로운 모델을 제안한다. 첫 번째 모델은 문자메시지 송/수신 시 특정 인증 값을 첨부/확인하여 정상 기관 인증을 수행하는 모델이며, 두 번째 모델은 문자메시지에 첨부된 URL을 사용자가 메시지 수신을 확인하기 전에 사전 검증하여 악성 유무를 판별하는 모델이다. 두 모델의 기본 동작 방식 제안과 설계를 통해 장점과 단점을 언급한다.

In the past about 10 different kinds of malicious code were found in one day on the average. However, the number of malicious codes that are found has rapidly increased reachingover 55,000 during the last 10 year. A large number of malicious codes, however, are not new kinds of malicious codes but most of them are new variants of the existing malicious codes as same functions are newly added into the existing malicious codes, or the existing malicious codes are modified to evade anti-virus detection. To deal with a lot of malicious codes including new malicious codes and variants of the existing malicious codes, we need to compare the malicious codes in the past and the similarity and classify the new malicious codes and the variants of the existing malicious codes. A former calculation method of the similarity on the existing malicious codes compare external factors of IPs, URLs, API, Strings, etc or source code levels. The former calculation method of the similarity takes time due to the number of malicious codes and comparable factors on the increase, and it leads to employing fuzzy hashing to reduce the amount of calculation. The existing fuzzy hashing, however, has some limitations, and it causes come problems to the former calculation of the similarity. Therefore, this research paper has suggested a new comparison method for malicious codes to improve performance of the calculation of the similarity using fuzzy hashing and also a classification method employing the new comparison method.
