  • The security systems using signatures cannot protect servers from new types of Internet worms. To protect servers from Internet worms, this paper proposes a system removing malicious processes and executable files without using signatures. The proposed system consists of control servers which offer the same services as those on protected servers, and agents which are installed on the protected servers. When a control server detects multicasting attacks of Internet worm, it sends information about the attacks to an agent. The agent kills malicious processes and removes executable files with this information. Because the proposed system do not use signatures, it can respond to new types of Internet worms effectively. When the proposed system is integrated with legacy security systems, the security of the protected server will be further enhanced.

  • Distribution of malicious applications developed by attackers is increasing along with general normal applications due to the openness of the Android-based open market. Mechanism that allows more accurate ways to distinguish normal apps and malicious apps for common mobile devices should be developed in order to reduce the damage caused by the rampant malicious applications. This paper analysed the normal event pattern from the most highly used game apps in the Android open market to analyse the event pattern from normal apps and malicious apps of mobile devices that are based on the Android platform, and analysed the malicious event pattern from the malicious apps and the disguising malicious apps in the form of a game app among 1260 malware samples distributed by Android MalGenome Project. As described, experiment that extracts normal app and malicious app events was performed using Strace, the Linux-based system call extraction tool, targeting normal apps and malicious apps on Android-based mobile devices. Relevance analysis for each event set was performed on collected events that occurred when normal apps and malicious apps were running. This paper successfully extracted event similarity through this process of analyzing the event occurrence characteristics, pattern and distribution on each set of normal apps and malicious apps, and lastly suggested a mechanism that determines whether any given app is malicious.

  • In cognitive radios, spectrum sensing plays an important role in accurately detecting the presence or absence of a licensed user. However, the intervention of malicious users (MUs) degrades the performance of spectrum sensing. Such users manipulate the local results and send falsified data to the data fusion center; this process is called spectrum sensing data falsification (SSDF). Thus, MUs degrade the spectrum sensing performance and increase uncertainty issues. In this paper, we propose a method based on the Hausdorff distance and a similarity measure matrix to measure the difference between the normal user evidence and the malicious user evidence. In addition, we use the Dempster-Shafer theory to combine the sets of evidence from each normal user evidence. We compare the proposed method with the k-means and Jaccard distance methods for malicious user detection. Simulation results show that the proposed method is effective against an SSDF attack.

  • Over the past few years, Smishing attacks such as malicious url and malicious application have been emerged as a major problem in South Korea since it caused big problems such as leakage of personal information and financial loss. Users are susceptible to Smishing attacks due to the fact that text message may contain curios content. Because of that reason, user could follow the url, download and install malicious APK file without any doubt or verification process. However currently Anti-Smishing App that adopted post-processing method is difficult to respond quickly. Users need a system that can determine whether the modification of the APK file and malicious url in real time because the Smishing can cause financial damage. This paper present the cloud-based system for verifying malicious url and malicious APK file in user device to prevent secondary damage such as smishing attacks and privacy information leakage.

  • Wireless sensor networks are often organized in the form of clusters leading to the new framework of WSN called cluster or hierarchical WSN where each cluster head is responsible for its own cluster and its members. These hierarchical WSN are prone to various routing layer attacks such as Black hole, Gray hole, Sybil, Wormhole, Flooding etc. These routing layer attacks try to spoof, falsify or drop the packets during the packet routing process. They may even flood the network with unwanted data packets. If one cluster head is captured and made malicious, the entire cluster member nodes beneath the cluster get affected. On the other hand if the cluster member nodes are malicious, due to the broadcast wireless communication between all the source nodes it can disrupt the entire cluster functions. Thereby a scheme which can detect both the malicious cluster member and cluster head is the current need. Abnormal energy consumption of nodes is used to identify the malicious activity. To serve this purpose a learning based energy prediction algorithm is proposed. Thus a two level energy prediction based intrusion detection scheme to detect the malicious cluster head and cluster member is proposed and simulations were carried out using NS2-Mannasim framework. Simulation results achieved good detection ratio and less false positive.

  • Recently, various studies on malicious URL detection using artificial intelligence have been conducted, and most of the research have shown great detection performance. However, not only does classical machine learning require a process of analyzing features, but the detection performance of a trained model also depends on the data analyst's ability. In this paper, we propose a DL-ML Fusion Hybrid Model for malicious web site URL detection based on URL lexical features. the propose model combines the automatic feature extraction layer of deep learning and classical machine learning to improve the feature engineering issue. 60,000 malicious and normal URLs were collected for the experiment and the results showed 23.98%p performance improvement in maximum. In addition, it was possible to train a model in an efficient way with the automation of feature engineering.

  • As smartphone users have increased in recent years, various applications have been developed and used especially for Android-based mobile devices. However, malicious applications developed by attackers for malicious purposes are also distributed through 3rd party open markets, and damage such as leakage of personal information or financial information of users in mobile terminals is continuously increasing. Therefore, to prevent this, a method is needed to distinguish malicious apps from normal apps for Android-based mobile terminal users. In this paper, we analyze the existing researches that detect malicious apps by extracting the system call events that occur when the app is executed. Based on this, we propose a technique to identify malicious apps by analyzing the sequence similarity of kernel layer events occurring in the process of running an app on commercial Android mobile devices.

  • Along generalization of internet news comments, malicious comments have been spread and made many social problems. Because writings reflect human mental state or trait, analyzing malicious comments, human mental states could be inferred when they write internet news comments. In this study, we analyzed malicious comments of English and Korean speaker using LIWC and KLIWC. As a result, in both English and Korean, malicious comments are commonly more used in sentence, word phrase, morpheme, word phrase per sentence, morpheme per sentence, positive emotion words, and cognitive process words than normal comments, and less used in the third person singular, adjective, anger words, and emotional process words than normal comments. This means people are state that they can not control their feeling such as anger and can not think well when they write news comments. Therefore, when internet comments were written, service provider should consider the way that commenters monitor own writings by themselves and that they prevent the other users from getting close to comments included many negative-emotion words. In other sides, it is discovered that English and Korean malicious comments was discriminated by authenticity. In order to be more objective, gathering data from various point of time is needed.
