LZ Based Compression Benchmark on PE Files Introduction LZ Based
LZ based compression benchmark on PE files Zsombor Paróczi Abstract: The key element in runtime compression is the compression algorithm, that is used during processing. It has to be small in enough in decompression bytecode size to fit in the final executable, yet have to provide the best compression ratio. In our work we benchmark the top LZ based compression methods on Windows PE files (both exe and dll files), and present the results including the decompres- sion overhead and the compression rates. Keywords: lz based compression, compression benchmark, PE benchmark Introduction During runtime executable compression an already compiled executable is modified in ways, that it still retains the ability to execute, yet the transformation produces smaller file size. The transformations usually exists from multiple steps, changing the structure of the executable by removing unused bytes, adding a compression layer or modifying the code in itself. During the code modifications the actual bytecode can change, or remain the same depending on the modification itself. In the world of x86 (or even x86-64) PE compression there are only a few benchmarks, since the ever growing storage capacity makes this field less important. Yet in new fields, like IOT and wearable electronics every application uses some kind of compression, Android apk-s are always compressed by a simple gzip compression. There are two mayor benchmarks for PE compression available today, the Maximum Compression benchmark collection [1] includes two PE files, one DLL and one EXE, and the Pe Compression Test [2] has four exe files. We will use the exe files during our benchmark, referred as small corpus. -

When it comes to digital steganography no stone should be left unturned in the search for viable hidden data. Although digital steganography is commonly used to hide data inside multimedia files, a similar approach can be used to hide data in archives as well. Steganography imposes the following data hiding rule: Data must be hidden in such a fashion that the user has no clue about the hidden message or file's existence. This can be achieved by -

Malware Detection Using Semantic Features and Improved Chi-Square 879
Malware Detection Using Semantic Features and Improved Chi-square 879 Malware Detection Using Semantic Features and Improved Chi-square Seung-Tae Ha1, Sung-Sam Hong1, Myung-Mook Han1* 1 IT convergence engineering, Gachon University, South Korea [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract to avoid their detection and to make the analysis difficult. Signature-based detection is commonly used As advances in information technology (IT) affect all for anti-virus software currently to identify malware. areas in the world, cyber-attacks also continue to increase. The signature-based detection registers unique binary Malware has been used for cyber attacks, and the number signatures of malware and then detects the malware by of new malware and variants tends to explode in these checking the signature existence. This method means years, depending on its trendy types. In this study, we that more malware attacks leads to more signatures. It introduce semantic feature generation and new feature becomes very time-consuming to generate and register selection methods for improving the accuracy of malware signatures for various types of malware. Therefore, detection based on API sequences to detect these new there is a need for a new malware detection method in malware and variants. Therefore, one of the existing order to respond efficiently and quickly to such new feature selection methods is chosen because it shows the malware and variants. best performance, and then it is improved to be suitable For this reason, there have been studies on malware for malware detection. In addition, the improved feature detection using behavior-based malware feature selection method is verified by using the Reuter dataset. -

ADAPTIVE RULE-BASED MALWARE DETECTION EMPLOYING LEARNING CLASSIFIER SYSTEMS by JONATHAN JOSEPH BLOUNT A THESIS Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of MISSOURI UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF SCIENCE IN COMPUTER SCIENCE 2011 Approved by Daniel R. Tauritz, Advisor Bruce M. McMillin Samuel A. Mulder Copyright c 2011 Jonathan Joseph Blount All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Efficient and accurate malware detection is increasingly becoming a necessity for society to operate. Existing malware detection systems have excellent performance in identifying known malware for which signatures are available, but poor performance in anomaly detection for zero day exploits for which signatures have not yet been made available or targeted attacks against a specific entity. The primary goal of this thesis is to provide evidence for the potential of learning classifier systems to improve the accuracy of malware detection. -

This includes dynamic library references for linking, API Type of format Binary, executable, object, shared libraries export and import tables, resource Extended from DOS MZ executable management data and thread-local storage COFF (TLS) data. On NT operating systems, the PE format is used for EXE, DLL, SYS (device driver), MUI and other file types. The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) specification states that PE is the standard executable format in EFI environments.[2] On Windows NT operating systems, PE currently supports the x86-32, x86-64 (AMD64/Intel 64), IA-64, ARM and ARM64 instruction set architectures (ISAs). Prior to Windows 2000, Windows NT (and thus PE) supported the MIPS, Alpha, and PowerPC ISAs. Because PE is used on Windows CE, it continues to support several variants of the MIPS, ARM (including Thumb), and SuperH ISAs. [3] Analogous formats to PE are ELF (used in Linux and most other versions of Unix) and Mach-O (used in macOS and iOS).

Study on a Known-Plaintext Attack on ZIP Encryption
Study on a known-plaintext attack on ZIP encryption Dragos Barosan [email protected] February 8, 2015 Abstract The ZIP file format is one of the most popular compression format and it provides a stream cipher encryption for protecting data. A successful known plaintext attack has been developed since 1994, but there is no open source im- plementation for it. The research has focused on the feasibility of a successful, since the necessary plaintext is considered hard to obtain, and analyzed the al- gorithm. It has been found that, while difficult, plaintext can be found through varied resources. From an implementation point of view the algorithm contains sections that can be run in parallel, improving the execution speed. As future work, a full implementation of the algorithm is planned and it will be released as open source.
