  • HUNTING for MALWARE with COMMAND LINE LOGGING and PROCESS TREES Vanja Svajcer Cisco Talos, Croatia [email protected]
    30 September - 2 October, 2020 / vblocalhost.com HUNTING FOR MALWARE WITH COMMAND LINE LOGGING AND PROCESS TREES Vanja Svajcer Cisco Talos, Croatia [email protected] www.virusbulletin.com HUNTING FOR MALWARE WITH COMMAND LINE LOGGING... SVAJCER ABSTRACT Over the years, many detection techniques have been developed, ranging from simple pattern matching to behavioural detection and machine learning. Unfortunately, none of these methods can guarantee users to be fully protected from all types of attacks. This fact is now accepted and many companies, especially medium to large corporations, have established their own in-house security teams specifically tasked with hunting attacks that may have slipped through the cracks of their protection layers. Security operations centres (SOCs) are tasked with collecting, aggregating and analysing large quantities of security data collected from the most valuable organizational assets as well as external threat intelligence data that is used to enrich the context and allow team members to identify incidents faster. When we log Windows events, there are literally hundreds of event types that generate a huge amount of data that can only be analysed using a data analytic platform. Considering the amount of data, which is too large to be handled manually by humans, it is crucial for defenders to know what they should look for in order to reduce the set of data to the point where it can be handled relatively easily by blue team members. One of the data types that can be collected while hunting for new threats is the command line parameters used to launch processes. Logging command lines of executed processes can be a useful second line in detection of unknown malicious attacks as well as in the determination of the root cause of infections during the incident response remediation phase.

  • Proposal for AFS Windows Shell Namespace Extension
    Proposal for AFS Windows Shell Namespace Extension As things currently stand, users interact with AFS in the same manner they interact with normal CIFS shares. AFS specific functionality is exposed via a set of command line tools and a shell extension that adds AFS specific menu items to the context menus in the Windows Explorer shell. Many institutions that use AFS have found that this arrangement is not sufficiently user friendly due to a number of reasons including the difficulty of navigating the AFS hierarchy. This proposal is for a Windows Explorer Shell namespace extension and the associated AFS cache manager modifications that aim to improve the accessibility of the AFS folder hierarchy. Note that this proposal does not cover other aspects of the AFS shell extensions such as the addition of AFS specific property sheets and meta-data handlers.

    Математические структуры и моделирование УДК 004.42 2016. № 3(39). С. 127–141 ПОШАГОВАЯ ИНСТРУКЦИЯ НАПИСАНИЯ SHELL NAMESPACE EXTENSION Д.С. Сиберт студент, e-mail: [email protected] Омский государственный университет им. Ф.М. Достоевского Аннотация. В статье приведена развёрнутая инструкция написания Shell Namespace Extensions, включающая создание пустого приложения и набо- ра необходимых функций файловой системы. Ключевые слова: пошаговая инструкция, windows, shell, namespace, extension. Введение Существуют популярные приложения Dropbox, Google Drive, Yandex.Диск и т.д., которые предоставляют возможность работать с файлами и директориями, расположенными на удалённых серверах, одному или нескольким пользовате- лям. Некоторые из этих инструментов встраиваются в операционную систему и позволяют работать со своим содержимым через её графическую оболоч- ку. В семействе операционных систем Windows организовать взаимодействие пользователя с данными через GUI можно, написав расширение пространства имён оболочки (Shell Namespace Extension, далее NSE). Оно состоит из двух компонент: Менеджер данных. Интерфейс между менеджером данных и оболочкой Windows. Первая делается полностью по усмотрению разработчика. Чтобы сделать вто- рую, необходимо реализовать набор интерфейсов: IShellFolder2, IPersistFolder2, IShellView, IEnumIDList, IDropTarget, IExplorerCommandProvider, IEnumExplorerCommand, IContextMenu, IShellExtInit, IObjectWithSite. К ним будет обращаться оболочка Windows за обработкой запросов пользователя. Кроме того, необходимо реализовать

Specific topics cover basic back doors into a target system, covert channels, data exfiltration, and hiding software applications in the best way possible for the level of access attained. Because root-kits are becoming more commonplace on the Internet, the Department of Defense must be able to convey the importance of Information Assurance when applications such as root-kits can be installed by any number of ways. Once a root- kit is on the machine, it becomes increasingly hard to trust any information on the machine, and should the root-kit exfiltrate any information, it may be hard to figure out what information was stolen, and how to mitigate the risks involved.
