Mosbacher, Secretary NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGY John W. Lyons, Director Reports on Computer Systems Technology The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has a unique responsibility for computer systems technology within the Federal Government. NIST's National Computer Systems Laboratory (NCSL) develops standards and guidelines, provides technical assistance, and conducts research for comput- ers and related telecommunications systems to achieve more effective utilization of Federal information technology resources. NCSL's responsibilities include development of technical, management, physical, and administrative standards and guidelines for the cost-effective security and privacy of sensitive unclassified information processed in Federal computers. NCSL assists agencies in developing security plans and in improving computer security awareness training. This Special Publication 800 series reports NCSL research and guidelines to Federal agencies as well as to organizations in industry, government, and academia.

This bibHography was compiled by Rein Turn of Rein Turn Associates under contract to NIST. The bibliography is organized into the following 10 sections and 2 appendices: 1. General 2. Management 3. Foundations 4. Access Control 5. Trusted Systems 6. Database Security 7. Communication and Network Security 8. Cryptography 9. Privacy 10. Pre- 1980 Publications Appendix A: Periodicals Appendix B: List of Key Words Citations in sections 1 through 9 are organized by subject matter; section 10 is a listing of pre- 1980 publications. To have been selected, an article had to be substantial in content and have been published in professional or technical journals, magazines, or conference proceedings. Only very substantial articles from the popular or trade press were included. EngHsh language articles from foreign journals were included as available. The individual citations have the following structure (an example is shown at the right): Identifier AAL-83 Author Aalders, J.C.H. Title "Towards Standards in Computer Security," Proc. '83 Journal title (or publishing house) inP/Sec. Stockholm, 1983, (2: FAK-83), Date and page (or location and year) pp. 5-13. Key words (two or three) Key Words: guidelines, policy. Each citation is uniquely identified by the first letters of the principal author's last name (or the publishing organization's acronym, if no author is identified or listing by organization is more meaningful) and the last two digits of the year of publication. A lowercase letter following the year serves to distinguish otherwise identical citation identifiers. 1 Section numbers are used to distinguish identical citations identifiers from different sections and multiple citations from the same publication [e.g. (2: NBS-81) and (7: NBS-81)], Appendix A contains a list of the periodicals from which citations in this bibliography have been taken. The list contains publisher and editor information where appropriate in order to assist the user of this bibliography to obtain more information about documents cited. Appendix B contains a list of all the key words used in each of the 10 sections. This list will assist the reader who would like information on a topic that spans more than one section. As an example, information on viruses can been found in each of the first three sections (General, Management, and Foundations). 2 1. General This section cites general, mostly nontechnical publications on computer threats and vulnerabilities (including the hacker and computer viruses), the need for computer security, and other aspects of computer security.

Metamorphic viruses: Operation • Metamorphic engine scans the code and generates a different version of it every time the program is duplicated. • The metamorphic engine performs a wide variety of transformations on the malware and on the engine itself.

  • Limiting Vulnerability Exposure Through Effective Patch Management: Threat Mitigation Through Vulnerability Remediation
    Limiting Vulnerability Exposure through effective Patch Management: threat mitigation through vulnerability remediation Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE in the Department of Computer Science of Rhodes University Dominic Stjohn Dolin White <[email protected]> January 2006 Abstract This document aims to provide a complete discussion on vulnerability and patch management.It looks first at the trends relating to vulnerabilities, exploits, attacks and patches. These trends provide the drivers of patch and vulnerability management. Understanding these allows the fol- lowing chapters to present both policy and technical solutions to the problem. The policy lays out a comprehensive set of steps that can be followed by any organisation to implement their own patch management policy, including practical advice on integration with other policies, manag- ing risk, strategies for reducing downtime and vulnerability and generating patch metrics. It then discusses how best a vendors should implement a related patch release policy that will allow end-users to most effectively and timeously mitigate vulnerabilities. The next chapter discussed the technical aspect of automating parts of such a policy and how defence in depth can be ap- plied to the field of patch management. The document then concludes that patch management is becoming more difficult and the guidelines described will go a long way into creating a workable and effective means for mitigating exposure to vulnerabilities. However, more research is needed into vulnerabilities, exploits and particularly into threats.

Malware are software that is intended to damage or disable computers and computer systems. Maiware is software used to disrupt computer operation, gather sensitive information, or gain access to private computer systems. In addition maiware will interrupt user on activities by using computer. The processes of classification show that maiware need to classify detected objects with antivirus program. The antivirus industry used simple classification methods, comprising a unique name and the size of the detected file. However, a single antivirus could end up being called different names bydifferent antivirus solutions, which can lead confusion. Now days, malicious programs are rapidly increases as well as the advent of new platforms of antivirus. The specific problem that maiware has create, now a days there are various type of malware that become difficulty to antivirus to confirm or differentiate what type of malware attack the computer based on their characteristics. There are consists many different type or different characteristics of malware have been created. The goal of this project is to classify maiware based on target class. To achieve this goal three objectives need to finish up which are to investigate system directory in window based on platform, to design maiware classification system based on identified targeted class and to develop system for classifying maiware based on target location.
