Malicious codes uses generic unpacking technique to make it hard for analyzers to detect their programs. Recently their has been several researches about generic packet to prevent or detect these techniques. And they try to focus on the codes that repeats while generic packing is doing compression because generic packing technique executes after it is decompressed. And they try to focus on the codes that repeats while generic packing is doing compression because generic packing technique executes after it is decompressed. Therefore, this makes a interesting performance which shows a similar address value from the codes which are repeated several times what is different from the normal program codes. By dividing these codes into regularly separated areas we can find that the generic unpacking codes have a small entropy value compared to normal codes. Using this method, it is possible to identify any program if it is a generic unpacking code or not even though we do not know what kind of algorithm it uses. This paper suggests a way of disarming the generic codes by using the low value entropy value which comes out from the Opcode addresses when generic unpacking codes try to decompress.

A worm is a malware that propagates quickly from host to host without any human intervention. Need of early worm detection has changed research paradigm from signature based worm detection to the behavioral based detection. To increase effectiveness of proposed solution, in this paper we present mechanism of detection and prevention of worm in distributed fashion. Furthermore, to minimize the worm destruction; upon worm detection we propagate the possible attack aleγt to neighboring nodes in secure and organized manner. Considering worm behavior, our proposed mechanism detects worm cycles and infection chains to detect the sudden change in network performance. And our model neither needs to maintain a huge database of signatures nor needs to have too much computing power, that is why it is very light and simple. So, our proposed scheme is suitable for the ubiquitous environment. Simulation results illustrate better detection and prevention which leads to the reduction of infection rate.

In this paper, we propose an intrusion detection system(IDS) architecture which can detect and respond against the generation of abnormal traffic such as malicious code and Internet worms. We model the system, design and implement a simulator using OPNET Modeller, for the performance analysis on the response capacity of alert information in the proposed system. At first, we model the arrival process of alert information resulted from abnormal traffic. In order to model the situation in which alert information is intensively produced, we apply the IBP(Interrupted Bernoulli Process) which may represent well the burstiness of traffic. Then we perform the simulation in order to gain some quantitative understanding of the system for our performance parameters. Based on the results of the performance analysis, we analyze factors which may hinder in accelerating the speed of security node, and would like to present some methods to enhance performance.

Most malware, including Ransomware, is built for the Windows operating system. This is because it is more harmful to target an operating system with a high share. But in recent years, MacOS's operating system share has steadily increased. As people become more and more used, the number of malicious code running on the MacOS operating system is increasing. Ransomware has been known to Korea since 2015, and damage cases are gradually increasing. MacOS is no longer free from Ransomware, as Ransomware for MacOS was discovered in March 2016. In order to cope with future Ransomware, this paper used Ransomware's modified file extension to detect Ransomware. We have studied how to detect and block Ransomware processes by distinguishing between extensions changed by the user and extensions changed by the Ransomware process.

SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is a signaling protocol to provide IP-based VoIP (Voice over IP) service. However, many security vulnerabilities exist as the SIP protocol utilizes the existing IP based network. The SIP Malformed message attacks may cause malfunction on VoIP services by changing the transmitted SIP header information. Additionally, there are several threats such that an attacker can extract personal information on SIP client system by inserting malicious code into SIP header. Therefore, the alternative measures should be required. In this study, we analyzed the existing research on the SIP anomaly message detection mechanism against SIP attack. And then, we proposed a Co-occurrence based SIP packet analysis mechanism, which has been used on language processing techniques. We proposed a association rule generation and an attack detection technique by using the actual SIP session state. Experimental results showed that the average detection rate was 87% on SIP attacks in case of using the proposed technique.

This paper presents a novel hybrid authentication scheme in the next-generation Tactical Mobile Communication Systems(TMCS) with wireless MSAP mesh networks. The existing centralized and distributed authentication methods for security between MSAPs may have their pros and cons. The centralized authentication method induces overhead from frequent MSAP association which leads to long authentication delay. On the other hand, the distributed authentication method requires initial sharing of the authentication information. Therefore, a more efficient authentication scheme is needed to protect the network from malicious MSAPs and also maximize efficiency of the network security. The proposed scheme provides a hybrid method of efficiently managing the authentication keys in the wireless MSAP mesh network to reduce the induced authentication message exchange overhead. Also, as the authentication method between MSAP and TMFT is different, a method of utilizing the ACR for handling the EAP packets is proposed. In overall, the proposed scheme provides efficient mutual authentication between MSAPs especially for tactical environments and is analyzed through performance evaluation to prove its superiority.

Cross Site Scripting enables hackers to steal other user's information (such as cookie, session etc.) or to do abnormal functions automatically using vulnerability of web application. This attack patterns of Cross Site Scripting(XSS) can be divided into two types. One is Reflect XSS which can be executed in one request for HTTP and its reply, and the other is Stored XSS which attacks those many victim users whoever access to the page which accepted the payload transmitted. To correspond to these XSS attacks, some measures have been suggested. They are data validation for user input, output validation during HTML encoding procedures, and removal of possible risk injection point to prevent from trying to insert malicious code into web application. In this paper, the methods and procedures for these two types are explained and a penetration testing is done. With these suggestions, the attack by XSS could be understood and prepared by its countermeasures.

Recently, the threat to the security and damage of important data leaked by devices of intranet infected by malicious code through the Internet have been increasing. Therefore, the partitioned intranet model that blocks access to the server for business use by implementing authentication of devices connected to the intranet is required. For this, logical net partition with the VDI(Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) method is no information exchange between physical devices connected to the intranet and the virtual device so that it could prevent data leakage and improve security but it is vulnerable to the attack to expose internal data, which has access to the server for business connecting a nonregistered device into the intranet. In order to protect the server for business, we suggest a blockchain based network partition model applying blockchain technology to VDI. It contributes to decrease in threat to expose internal data by improving not only capability to verify forgery of devices, which is the vulnerability of the VDI based logical net partition, but also the integrity of the devices.

Small and medium-sized companies lack countermeasures to secure the safety of a information system. In this circumstance, they have difficulties regarding the damage to their images and legal losses, when the information is leaked. This paper examines the information leakage of the system and hacking methods including APT attacks. Especially, APT attack, Advanced Persistent Threats, means that a hacker sneaks into a target and has a latency period of time and skims all the information related to the target, and acts in the backstage and neutralize the security services without leaving traces. Because he attacks the target covering up his traces not to reveal them, the victim remains unnoticed, which increases the damage. This study examines attack methods and the process of them and seeks a countermeasure.
