There has recently been an increase of phishing attacks, attacks which lure users into revealing their personal information to an attacker who in turn exploits this information for economic gain. The conventional methods of fooling the user with similarly modified mail or address are constantly evolving and have diversified to include the forgery of mail or domain addresses. Recently the injury incurred by these attacks has greatly increased as attackers exploit the weaknesses found on a few web browsers and used these to conduct phishing attacks based on URL spoofing. Furthermore we are now witnessing the entrance of highly advanced phishing techniques that no longer simply rely on vulnerabilities, but employ ordinary script, HTML, DNS sniffing, and the list goes on. In this paper we first discuss means of investigating and preventing the advanced URL spoofing techniques used in phishing attacks, and then propose a scheme for fundamentally restricting them altogether.

In this paper, we propose a new system to block harmful Internet information based on IP spoofing. The proposed system is located on a organization's internal network and monitors all outgoing traffic and lets all this traffic go outside. Once the proposed system detects a host's access to a harmful site, it sends the host a pseudo RST packet that pretends to be the response from the harmful site, and prevents the connection between the host and the harmful site. The proposed software system is installed on only a server, and need not be installed on user hosts at all. Thus we can maintain and upgrade the blocking system easily. The performance evaluation of the proposed system shows that it effectively blocks the access to the harmful sites. Since the proposed system is based on IP spoofing, it can be used badly as a hacking tool. Finally we propose some methods to eliminate this possibility.

A hierarchical Web Security System, which is a solution to various web-based attacks, seemingly is not able to keep up with the improvement of detoured or compound attacks. In this paper, we suggest an efficient detecting scheme for web-based attacks like Malware, XSS, Creating Webshell, URL Spoofing, and Exposing Private Information through monitoring HTTP outbound traffics in real time. Our proposed scheme detects web-based attacks by comparing the outbound traffics with the signatures of HTML tag or Javascript created by the attacks. Through the verification analysis under the real-attacked environment, we show that our scheme installed in a hierarchical web security system has superior detection capability for detoured web-based attacks.

최근 피싱의 한 유형으로 등장한 파밍은 웹 사이트를 위조하여 개인정보를 탈취하는 공격이다. 신뢰받는 기관(금융, 정부 등)의 사이트로 위장하여 개인정보를 탈취하는 방식은 같으나 차이점은 피싱의 경우 유사 도메인을 이용하는 경우가 많아 사용자가 주의를 기울이면 공격을 피할 수 있다. 하지만, 파밍의 경우 DNS 스푸핑을 이용하여 사용자가 정확한 도메인주소(URL)를 입력 하더라도 공격자가 미리 만들어둔 위장 웹 서버로 접속이 되기 때문에 사용자가 주의 깊게 살펴보아도 공격을 인지하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 파밍 공격에 사용되는 DNS 스푸핑에 대해 논의하고 파밍 탐지기법에 대해 소개한다. 궁극적으로는 파밍 탐지기법들을 비교 및 분석한 후 실제 구현을 위해서 극복해야 할 한계점을 알아본다.

Java applets are downloaded from web server through internet and executed in Java Virtual Machine of clients' browser. Before execution of java applets, JVM checks bytecode program with bytecode verifier and performs runtime tests with interpreter. However, these tests will not protect against undesirable runtime behavior of java applets, such as denial of service attack, email forging attack, URL spoofing attack, and annoying sound attack. In order to protect malicious applets, a technique used in this paper is java bytecode modification. This technique is used to restrict applet behavior or insert code appropriate to profiling or other monitoring efforts. Java byte modification is divided into two general forms, class-level modification involving subclassing non-final classes and method-level modification used when control over objects from final classes or interface. This paper showed that malicious applets are controlled by java bytecode modification using proxy server. This implementation does not require any changes in the web sever, JVM or web browser.
