As internet worms are spread out worldwide, the detection and filtering of worms becomes one of hot issues in the internet security. As one of implementation methods to detect worms, the Linux Netfilter kernel module can be used. Its basic operation for worm detection is a string matching where coming packet(s) on the network is/are compared with predefined worm signatures(patterns). A worm can appear in a packet or in two (or more) succeeding packets where some part of worm is in the first packet and its remaining part is in its succeeding packet(s). Assuming that the maximum length of a worm pattern is less than 1024 bytes, we need to perform a string matching up to two succeeding packets of 2048 bytes. To do so, Linux Netfilter keeps the previous packet in buffer and performs matching with a combined 2048 byte string of the buffered packet and current packet. As the number of concurrent connections to be handled in the worm detection system increases, the total size of buffer (memory) increases and string matching speed becomes low In this paper, to reduce the memory buffer size and get higher speed of string matching, we propose a string matching scheme without using buffer. The proposed scheme keeps the partial matching result of the previous packet with signatures and has no buffering for previous packet. The partial matching information is used to detect a worm in the two succeeding packets. We implemented the proposed scheme by modifying the Linux Netfilter. Then we compared the modified Linux Netfilter module with the original Linux Netfilter module. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme has 25% lower memory usage and 54% higher speed compared to the original scheme.

JavaScript is a popular technique for activating static HTML. JavaScript has drawn more attention following the introduction of HTML5 Standard. In proportion to JavaScript's growing importance, attacks (ex. DDos, Information leak using its function) become more dangerous. Since these attacks do not create a trail, whether the JavaScript code is malicious or not must be decided. The real attack action is completed while the browser runs the JavaScript code. For these reasons, there is a need for a real-time classification and determination technique for malicious JavaScript. This paper proposes the Analysis Engine for detecting malicious JavaScript by adopting the requirements above. The analysis engine performs static analysis using signature-based detection and dynamic analysis using behavior-based detection. Static analysis can detect malicious JavaScript code, whereas dynamic analysis can detect the action of the JavaScript code.

In this paper, we propose an in-line mode NIDS using network processors(NPs) that achieve performance comparable to ASIC and flexibility comparable to general-purpose processors. Even if many networking applications using NPs have been proposed, we cannot find any NP applications to NIDS in the literature. The proposed NIDS supports packet payload inspection detecting attacks, as well as packet filtering and traffic metering. In particular, we separate the filtering and metering functions from the complicated and time-consuming operations of the deep packet inspection function using two-level searching scheme, thus we can improve the performance, stability, and scalability of In-line mode system. We also implement a proto-type based on a PC platform and the Agere PayloadPlus (APP) 2.5G NP solution, and present a payload inspection algorithm to apply APP NP.

Recently, many researches on detecting and responding worms due to the fatal infrastructural damages explosively damaged by automated attack tools, particularly worms. Network service vulnerability exploiting worms have high propagation velocity, exhaust network bandwidth and even disrupt the Internet. Previous worm researches focused on signature-based approaches however these days, approaches based on behavioral features of worms are more highlighted because of their low false positive rate and the attainability of early detection. In this paper, we propose a Distributed Worm Detection Model based on packet marking. The proposed model detects Worm Cycle and Infection Chain among which the behavior features of worms. Moreover, it supports high scalability and feasibility because of its distributed reacting mechanism and low processing overhead. We virtually implement worm propagation environment and evaluate the effectiveness of detecting and responding worm propagation.

Cyber-terror trials are increased in nowadays and these attacks are commonly using security vulnerability and information gathering method by variable services grew by the continuous development of Internet Technology. IDS's application environment is affected by this increasing Cyber Terror. General Network based IDS detects intrusion by signature based Intrusion Detection module about inflowing packet through network devices. Up to now security in network is commonly secure host, an regional issue adopted in special security system but these system is vulnerable intrusion about the attack in globally connected Internet systems. Security mechanism should be produced to expand the security in whole networks. In this paper, we analyzer the DARPA's program and study Infusion Detection related Technology. We design policy security framework for policy enforcing in whole network and look at the modules's function. Enforcement of security policy is acted by Intrusion Detection system on gateway system which is located in network packet's inflow point. Additional security policy is operated on-line. We can design and execute central security policy in managed domain in this method.

As the social and financial damages caused by APT attack such as 3.20 cyber terror are increased, the technical solution against APT attack is required. It is, however, difficult to protect APT attack with existing security equipments because the attack use a zero-day malware persistingly. In this paper, we propose a host based anomaly detection method to overcome the limitation of the conventional signature-based intrusion detection system. First, we defined 39 features to identify between normal and abnormal behavior, and then collected 8.7 million feature data set that are occurred during running both malware and normal executable file. Further, each process is represented as 83-dimensional vector that profiles the frequency of appearance of features. the vector also includes the frequency of features generated in the child processes of each process. Therefore, it is possible to represent the whole behavior information of the process while the process is running. In the experimental results which is applying C4.5 decision tree algorithm, we have confirmed 2.0% and 5.8% for the false positive and the false negative, respectively.

Since wireless sensor networks are deployed in open environments, an attacker can physically capture some sensor nodes. Using information of compromised nodes, an attacker can launch false data injection attacks that report nonexistent events. False data can cause false alarms and draining the limited energy resources of the forwarding nodes. In order to detect and discard such false data during the forwarding process, various security solutions have been proposed. But since they are prevention-based solutions that involve additional operations, they would be energy-inefficient if the corresponding attacks are not launched. In this paper, we propose a detection method that can detect false data injection attacks without extra overheads. The proposed method is designed based on the signature of false data injection attacks that has been derived through simulation. The proposed method detects the attacks based on the number of reporting nodes, the correctness of the reports, and the variation in the number of the nodes for each event. We show the proposed method can detect a large portion of attacks through simulation.

Distributed fiber-optic acoustic·vibration sensing technology is becoming increasingly popular in many industrial and academic areas such as in securing large edifices, exploring underground seismic activity, monitoring oil well/reservoir, etc. Long-range perimeter intrusion detection exemplifies an application that not only detects intrusion, but also pinpoints where it happens and recognizes kinds of threats made along the perimeter where a single fiber cable was installed. In this study, we developed a distributed fiber-optic sensing device that measures a distributed acoustic·vibration signature (pattern) for intrusion detection. In addition, we demontrate the proposed deep learning algorithm and how it classifies various intrusion events. We evaluated the sensing device and deep learning algorithm in a practical testbed setup. The evaluation results confirm that the developed system is a promising intrusion detection system for long-distance and seamless recognition requirements.

Condition monitoring of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) and detecting faults such as eccentricity and demagnetization are essential for ensuring system reliability. Motor current signal analysis is the most commonly used precursor for detecting faults in the PMSM drive system. However, the current signature responds sensitively to the load and temperature of the motor, thereby making it difficult to monitor faults in real- applications. Therefore, in this study, a condition monitoring methodology that detects motor faults, including their classification with standstill conditions, is proposed. The objective is to detect and classify faults of PMSMs by using programmable inverter without additional sensors and systems for detection. Both DC and AC were applied through the d-axis of a three-phase motor, and the change in incremental inductance was investigated to detect and classify faults. Simulation with finite element analysis and experiments were performed on PMSMs in healthy conditions as well as with eccentricity and demagnetization faults. Based on the results obtained from experiments, the proposed method was confirmed to detect and classify types of faults, including their severity.

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.
