In this paper, the plans for improvement of real-time security monitoring accuracy and expansion of control region were investigated through comprehensive and systematic collection and analysis of the anomalous activities that inflow and outflow in the network on a large scale in order to overcome the existing security monitoring system based on stylized detection patterns which could correspond to only very limited cyber attacks. This study established an anomaly observation system to collect, store and analyze a diverse infringement threat information flowing into the darknet network, and presented the information classification system of cyber threats, unknown anomalies and high-risk anomalous activities through the statistics based trend analysis of hacking. If this security monitoring system utilizing darknet traffic as presented in the study is applied, it was indicated that detection of all infringement threats was increased by 12.6 percent compared with conventional case and 120 kinds of new type and varietal attacks that could not be detected in the past were detected.

Most national critical key infrastructure, such like electricity, nuclear power plant, and petroleum is run on SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) system as the closed network type. These systems have treated the open protocols like TCP/IP, and the commercial operating system, which due to gradually increasing dependence on IT(Information Technology) is a trend. Recently, concerns have been raised about the possibility of these facilities being attacked by cyber terrorists, hacking, or viruses. In this paper, the method to minimize threats and vulnerabilities is proposed, with the virtual honeynet system architecture and the attack detection algorithm, which can detect the unknown attack patterns of Zero-Day Attack are reviewed.

Currently, the growing cyber threat continues, the damage caused by the evolution of malicious code incidents become more bigger. Such advanced attacks as APT using 'zero-day vulnerability' bring easy way to steal sensitive data or personal information. However it has a lot of limitation that the traditional ways of defense like 'access control' with blocking of application ports or signature base detection mechanism. This study is suggesting a way of controlling application activities focusing on keeping integrity of applications, authorization to running programs and changes of files of operating system by hardening of legitimate resources and programs based on 'white-listing' technology which analysis applications' behavior and its usage.

With wireless network infrastructure, the number of smart-phone users is remarkably increasing in the world and the amounts of damage due to the smart-phone malwares are also raised. Many security solutions for wireless network have come into the market but these solutions are for companies or large enterprises, therefore, the public users of smart-phone don't feel easy to select as their solutions and it is difficult to detect unknown malwares. In this paper, we propose the mobile security diagnostic system for public smart-phone users, which provides functions like smart-phone system check, comparison with blacklist of applications and collecting malwares.

최근 IT 산업의 지속적인 발전으로 사용자들을 위협하는 악성코드, 피싱, 랜섬웨어와 같은 사이버 공격 또한 계속해서 발전하고 더 지능화되고 있으며 변종 악성코드도 기하급수적으로 늘어나고 있다. 지금까지의 시그니처 패턴 기반의 탐지법으로는 이러한 방대한 양의 알려지지 않은 악성코드를 탐지할 수 없다. 따라서 CNN(Convolutional Neural Network)을 활용하여 악성코드를 탐지하는 기법들이 제안되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 CNN 모델 중 낮은 인식 오류율을 지닌 모델을 선정하여 정확도(Accuracy)와 F1-score 평가 지표를 통해 비교하고자 한다. 두 가지의 악성코드 이미지화 방법을 사용하였으며, 2015 년 이후 ILSVRC 에서 우승을 차지한 모델들과, 추가로 2019 년에 발표된 EfficientNet 을 사용하여 악성코드 이미지를 분류하였다. 그 결과 2 바이트를 한 쌍의 좌표로 변환하여 생성한 256 * 256 크기의 악성코드 이미지를 ResNet-152 모델을 이용해 분류하는 것이 우수한 성능을 보임을 실험적으로 확인하였다.

The information stored in the computer system needs to be protected from unauthorized access, malicious destruction or alteration and accidental inconsistency. In this paper, we propose an intrusion detection system based on sensor concept for defecting and preventing malicious attacks We use software sensor objects which consist of sensor file for each important directory and sensor data for each secret file. Every sensor object is a sort of trap against the attack and it's touch tan be considered as an intrusion. The proposed system is a new challenge of setting up traps against most interception threats that try to copy or read illicitly programs or data. We have implemented the proposed system on the Linux operating system using loadable kernel module technique. The proposed system combines host~based detection approach and network-based one to achieve reasonably complete coverage, which makes it possible to detect unknown interception threats.

As the cyber-attacks through the networks advance, it is difficult for the intrusion detection system based on the simple rules to detect the novel type of attacks such as Advanced Persistent Threat(APT) attack. At present, many types of research have been focused on the application of machine learning techniques to the intrusion detection system in order to detect previously unknown attacks. In the case of using the machine learning techniques, the performance of the intrusion detection system largely depends on the feature set which is used as an input to the system. Generally, more features increase the accuracy of the intrusion detection system whereas they cause a problem when fast responses are required owing to their large elapsed time. In this paper, we present a network intrusion detection system based on artificial neural network, which adopts a multi-objective genetic algorithm to satisfy the both requirements: accuracy, and fast response. The comparison between the proposing approach and previously proposed other approaches is conducted against NSL_KDD data set for the evaluation of the performance of the proposing approach.

Recently, the abuse of Internet technology has caused economic and mental harm to society as a whole. Especially, malicious code that is newly created or modified is used as a basic means of various application hacking and cyber security threats by bypassing the existing information protection system. However, research on small-capacity executable files that occupy a large portion of actual malicious code is rather limited. In this paper, we propose a model that can analyze the characteristics of known small capacity executable files by using data mining techniques and to use them for detecting unknown malicious codes. Data mining analysis techniques were performed in various ways such as Naive Bayesian, SVM, decision tree, random forest, artificial neural network, and the accuracy was compared according to the detection level of virustotal. As a result, more than 80% classification accuracy was verified for 34,646 analysis files.

Security visualization is a form of the data visualization techniques in the field of network security by using security-related events so that it is quickly and easily to understand network traffic flow and security situation. In particular, the security visualization that detects the abnormal situation of network visualizing connections between two endpoints is a novel approach to detect unknown attack patterns and to reduce monitoring overhead in packets monitoring technique. However, the session-based visualization doesn't notice a difference between normal traffic and attacks that they are composed of similar connection pattern. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an efficient session-based visualization method for analyzing and detecting between normal server activities and attacks by using the IP address splitting and port attributes analysis. The proposed method can actually be used to detect and analyze the network security with the existing security tools because there is no dependence on other security monitoring methods. And also, it is helpful for network administrator to rapidly analyze the security status of managed network.

The internet is an important infra resource that it controls the economy and society of our country. Also, it is providing convenience and efficiency of the everyday life. But, a case of various are occurred through an using vulnerability of an internet infra resource. Recently various attacks of unknown to the user are an increasing trend. Also, currently system of security control is focussing on patterns for detecting attacks. However, internet threats are consistently increasing by intelligent and advanced various attacks. In recent, the darknet is received attention to research for detecting unknown attacks. Since the darknet means a set of unused IP addresses, no real systems connected to the darknet. In this paper, we proposed an algorithm for finding black IPs through collected the darknet traffic based on a statistics data of port information. The proposed method prepared 8,192 darknet space and collected the darknet traffic during 3 months. It collected total 827,254,121 during 3 months of 2016. Applied results of the proposed algorithm, black IPs are June 19, July 21, and August 17. In this paper, results by analysis identify to detect frequency of black IPs and find new black IPs of caused potential cyber threats.
