Many computer security systems use the signatures of well-known attacks to respond to hackers. For these systems, it is very important to get the accurate signatures of new attacks as soon as possible. For this reason, honeypots and honeypot farms have been actively researched. However, they can only collect a small amount of information because hackers have a strong tendency to directly attack servers of which IP addresses are allocated. In this paper, we propose an unused ports-based decoy system to redirect hackers toward honeypots. This system opens unused ports to lure hackers. All interactions with the unused ports are considered as suspect, because the ports aren't those for real service. Accordingly, every request sent to the unused ports is redirected to a honeypot. Consequently, this system enables honeypots to collect information about hackers attacking real servers other than themselves.

With the development of network technology, the application area has also been diversified, and protocols for various purposes have been developed and the amount of traffic has exploded. Therefore, it is difficult for the network administrator to meet the stability and security standards of the network with the existing traditional switching and routing methods. Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a new networking paradigm proposed to solve this problem. SDN enables efficient network management by programming network operations. This has the advantage that network administrators can flexibly respond to various types of attacks. In this paper, we design a threat level management module, an attack detection module, a packet statistics module, and a flow rule generator that collects attack information through the controller and switch, which are components of SDN, and detects attacks based on these attributes of SDN. It proposes a method to block denial of service attacks (DoS) of advanced attackers by programming and applying honeypot. In the proposed system, the attack packet can be quickly delivered to the honeypot according to the modifiable flow rule, and the honeypot that received the attack packets analyzed the intelligent attack pattern based on this. According to the analysis results, the attack detection module and the threat level management module are adjusted to respond to intelligent attacks. The performance and feasibility of the proposed system was shown by actually implementing the proposed system, performing intelligent attacks with various attack patterns and attack levels, and checking the attack detection rate compared to the existing system.

본 논문에서는 네트워크 이상치 탐지를 위하여 정상 데이터만을 활용한 메모리 기반 정상성 학습 모델을 제안한다. 오토인코더를 기반으로 정상 데이터의 특징을 표현하는 프로토타입을 생성할 수 있도록 신경망을 구성하고, 네트워크 데이터의 특성을 반영하여 쿼리의 수를 한 개로 고정하며, 사용되는 프로토타입의 수를 지정한 값으로 고정하여 모든 프로토타입에 정상 데이터의 특징을 반영할 수 있는 학습 방법을 제안한다. 해당 모델을 네트워크 이상치 탐지 데이터 세트인 Kyoto Honeypot, UNSW-NB15, CICIDS-2018에 적용하여 본 결과 Kyoto Honeypot에서는 0.821, UNSW-NB15에서는 0.854, CICIDS-2018에서는 0.981의 AUROC를 달성했다.

허니팟은 공격자들이 쉽게 공격할 수 있는 시스템이나 네트워크를 구성하여, 악성해커나 스크립트 키드들이 어떻게 시스템을 침입하고 공격하는지 감시할 수 있도록 구성되어 있는 시스템을 말한다. 일반적으로 허니팟은 방화벽과 로그 기록 등으로 감사기능을 수행하는데, 악성해커는 그 로그마저 복구할 수 없도록 삭제하는 경우도 있기 때문에 독립적인 추적 시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 LKM(Linux Kernel Module)기법을 이용한 키로거를 통해 공격자가 세션 상에서 입력하는 모든 키보드 내용을 기록하여 공격자의 행동을 쉽고 빠르게 분석하는 원격 키스트로크 모니터링 시스템을 설계해 보았다.

Software-Defined Networking (SDN), which separates the control plane from the data plane and manages data planes in a centralized way, is now considered as a future networking technology, and many researchers and practitioners have dived into this area to devise new network applications, such new routing methods. Likewise, network security applications could be redesigned with SDN, and some pioneers have proposed several interesting network security applications with SDN. However, most approaches have just reimplemented some well-known network security applications, although SDN provides many interesting features, They didn't effectively use them. To investigate if we can use SDN in realizing sophisticated network security applications, we have designed and implemented an advanced network security application, Reflectornet, which redirects malicious or suspicious network trials to other security monitoring points (e.g., honeypot). In addition, we have tested its performance and practicability in diverse angles. Our findings and some insights will encourage other researchers to design better or intelligent network security applications with SDN.

Deception technology is an extended concept of honeypot, which detects, prevents or delays attacks by deceiving adversaries. It has been applied to various system components such as network ports, services, processes, system calls and database management systems. We can apply the same concept to attacks on files. A representative example of a file attack is ransomware. Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts user files and ask for ransom to recover those files. Another example is the wiper attack, which erases all or target files of a system. In this paper we propose a defense mechanism against these kinds of attacks by hiding files. Compared to backup or virtualization techniques, the proposed method incurs less space and performance overheads.

Cyber deception technology plays a crucial role in monitoring attacker activities and detecting new types of attacks. However, along with the advancements in deception technology, the development of Anti-honeypot technology has allowed attackers who recognize the deceptive environment to either cease their activities or exploit the environment in reverse. Currently, deception technology is unable to identify or respond to such situations. In this study, we propose a predictive model using Markov chain analysis to determine the identification of attackers who infiltrate deceptive environments. The proposed model for deception status determination is the first attempt of its kind and is expected to overcome the limitations of existing deception-based attacker analysis, which does not consider attackers who identify the deceptive environment. The classification model proposed in this study demonstrated a high accuracy rate of 97.5% in identifying and categorizing attackers operating in deceptive environments. By predicting the identification of an attacker's deceptive environment, it is anticipated that this model can provide refined data for numerous studies analyzing deceptive environment intrusions.

네트워크가 복잡해지면서 다양한 형태의 위험에 노출된다. 일반적인 보안 솔루션으로 사용하는 방화벽(Firewall)이나 침입탐지시스템(IDS)은 허가받지 않은 외부의 접속이나 알려진 공격만을 차단하는 단순하고 수동적인 시스템이다. 이에 반해 허니팟은 웹서버와 같은 실제 Front-End 시스템과 유사하거나, 밀접한 관련을 갖고 직접적으로 반응하므로 신뢰성 높은 실시간 정보를 얻을 수 있어서 관리자가 다양한 위협에 능동적이고 효과적으로 대응할 수 있다. 실제로 웜이나 DRDoS(Distributed Reflection DoS)등 수분만에 네트워크를 점유하는 자동화 공격과 함께 시스템 구성 취약점을 파고들거나 계정 획득을 통한 DB서버 등의 Back-End 시스템에 대한 수동 공격이 혼재한다. 따라서 시스템 전반적인 관리의 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 그간의 실험결과를 바탕으로 가상 머신으로 허니팟을 구성하고 특성별로 포트를 분리하여 관리하는 허니넷을 제안하고자 한다 이를 통해 1) 유연한 보안 시스템 구성이 가능하고 2) 관리 효율이 높아지며 3) 하드웨어 도입 비용 절감을 통해 시스템의 TCO(Totai Cost of Ownership)를 감소시키는 효과를 기대할 수 있다.
