November 16, 2017 iii Abstract CRYPTO RANSOMWARE ANALYSIS AND DETECTION USING PROCESS MONITOR Ashwini Balkrushna Kardile, MS The University of Texas at Arlington, 2017 Supervising Professor: Jiang Ming Ransomware is a faster growing threat that encrypts user’s files and locks the computer and holds the key required to decrypt the files for ransom. Over the past few years, the impact of ransomware has increased exponentially. There have been several reported high profile ransomware attacks, such as CryptoLocker, CryptoWall, WannaCry, Petya and Bad Rabbit which have collectively cost individuals and companies well over a billion dollars according to FBI.

  • Multiband Plasma-Process Monitor C10346-01
    Multiband plasma-process monitor C10346-01 C10346-01 is a multiband plasma process monitor designed for real-time, monitoring of wide spectrum. Monitoring Plasma (Emission Spectrum) in Real-Time C10346-01 is a monitoring system to detect wide spectrum plasma emission during the process of etching, spattering and CVD in semiconductor manufacturing . With the various analysis functions, it can be used for setting up end-point detection conditions and automatic detection of etching and cleaning, estimation of plasma species and monitoring (plasma) contamination and abnormal discharges. Features Simultaneous measurements of wide (plasma) spectrum Easy measurement using optical fibers Captures wide spectrum (emission) from (plasma) radicals or ions. The equipped optical fiber can be easily attached to plasma C10346-01 : 200 nm to 950 nm chambers through a SMA connector widely used. Real-time plasma (emission) measurement Operation with multiple chambers Continuously measures up to 15 000 spectra at an interval of 20 ms A single analysis unit can control up to four C10346-01 (50 ms with concurrent running of detection software) Multiband plasma-process monitor via a USB 2.0 interface. Highly accurate and reliable measurements Data acquisition software A high resolution spectrometer and a ultra-high sensitive photo The data acquisition software stores the spectrum data into detector are firmly locked in position to assure the acquisition of the database during plasma process. This stored data can accurate spectrum and precise spectrum responsivity data then be used for spectrum data calculations. through sharply focused plasma emission spectrum images. Optional software High-sensitivity detection in UV spectrum region High sensitive endpoint detection and real-time monitoring of Detects the UV spectrum region from 200 nm with high process abnormality are achieved by creating ''detection model''.

  • JTB Process Monitor
    JTB Process Monitor About JTB Process Monitor makes it possible to monitor usage of more applications than the core JTB FlexReport handles. There is a service part and a client part of Process Monitor. You need to first install the service and configure it and then install the client and configure it. The data is saved into the JTB FlexReport core database and reports on the usage can be done in the normal way. This means that JTB FlexReport Core and JTB FlexReport Chart Service/Client also need to be installed. The client computer to monitor does not need to be connected to the network all the time. It still can monitor the usage and when connected again it will send back the data to the server. The client-server solution is based on WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) and XML Web services. System requirements .NET Framework 4.0 or newer is needed for the service and client. Other than that most Windows operating systems are supported like Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016. Both 32-bit and 64-bit systems are supported. One limitation is that processes that run in Windows compatibility mode cannot be monitored. Installation of Service The service needs to be installed on one location and it is recommended to be on the same computer where JTB FlexReport’s other services are installed as it needs to save the usage to the JTB FlexReport database. For a trial it can be installed on a workstation if that is easier for the evaluation.

  • Prmon: Process Monitor
    prmon: Process Monitor Serhan Mete (Argonne) and Graeme A Stewart (CERN) Grid Deployment Board Meeting September 9, 2020 What is Process Monitor (prmon)? ● “... a small stand alone program that can monitor the resource consumption of a process and its children.” ○ An open source HSF project, completely application agnostic and self-contained ■ The only external library dependency is nlohmann/json (and only for the build) ○ Tracks (process-level) CPU/GPU, memory, disk I/O, and (device-level) network I/O usage ■ Metrics are primarily collected from ProcFS (except for GPU which comes from nvidia-smi) ● Adding support for additional hardware is in the future plans ○ It produces two main outputs: ■ Time-series text file that contains the measurements at each capture ■ JSON file that contains averages and maxima along with some hardware information ○ It includes python-based software to visualize the time-series data https://github.com/HSF/prmon 2 Building/Distributing/Using prmon... ● prmon has been used in ATLAS distributed computing for many years ○ Predecessor was named MemoryMonitor, which was the starting point for prmon ● There are two main build/deployment options: ○ Integrating prmon as an external software and building it from scratch ■ Primarily requires C++11, Cmake 3.3+, and nlohmann/json ■ For GPU support, needs nvidia-smi installed ○ Using statically built prmon (published for each release, approx. 1 MB) ○ In either case, the binaries can be (are) distributed via CVMFS ○ More information can be found at https://github.com/HSF/prmon#build-and-deployment ● There are two main ways to execute: ○ Attach to an existing process w/ PID : prmon --pid PID ○ Start the program with prmon : prmon [prmon options] -- program [program options] ○ More information can be found at https://github.com/HSF/prmon#running Latest Release: v2.1.0 on Sep 8 3 Available options, monitors, and output formats..
