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. In this paper, problem had been identified and reviewed the existing malware detection. From analysis, other way had been proposed for maiware classification based on target location. Output from this framework can be used by system administrator to plan and implement prevention mechanism in order to minimize future maiware threat. Vi ABSTRAK Gabungan perkataan virus dan perisian telah menerbitkan frasa barn iaitu Maiware. Maiware adalah perisian yang bertujuan untuk merosakkan atau menggangu komputer dan sistem komputer .Malware merupakan perisian yang digunakan untuk mengganggu operasi komputer, mengumpul makiumat sensitif,atau mendapat akses kepada sistem komputer peribadi. Selain maiware akan mengganggu pengguna mengenai aktjviti dengan menggunakan komputer. Proses pengelasan menunjukkan bahawa maiware perlu mengklasifikasikan objek dikesan dengan program antivirus. Industri antivirus digunakan kaedah kiasifikasi mudah, terdiri daripada nama yang unik dan saiz fail yang dikesan. Walaubagaimanapun, satu antivirus menunjukkan boleh mengklasifikasikan maiware yang sama tetapi memberi keputusan analisis yang berbeza, yang boleh membawa kekeliruan. Sehingga hari ini, maiware jahat semakin pesat meningkat serta kemunculan platform barn antivirus. Masalah kepesatan jenis maiware baru muncul, telah menjadi kesukaran kepada antivirus untuk mengesahkan atau membezakan jenis serangan maiware komputer berdasarkan ciri-ciri mereka. Ada diantara maiware barn terdiri daripada jenis yang berbeza atau ciri-ciri yang berbeza daripada maiware sedia ada. Matlamat projek mi adalah untuk mengelaskan maiware berdasarkan kelas sasaran di system direktori Windows. Untuk mencapai matlamat mi tiga objektif perlu selesaikan pertama mengkaji system direktori berdasakan platform Windows, kedua membentuk sistem kiasifikasi maiware berdasarkan kelas sasaran yang dikenal pasti dan akhir sekali untuk membangunkan sistem untuk mengklasifikasikan maiware berdasarkan lokasi sasaran. Dalam kertas kerja mi, masalah telah dikenal pasti dan dikaji pengesanan maiware yang sedia ada. Dari analisis, cara lain telah dicadangkan untuk pengelasan maiware berdasarkan lokasi sasaran. Output daripada rangka kerja mi boleh digunakan oleh pentadbir sistem untuk merancang dan melaksanakan mekanisme pencegahan untuk mengurangkan ancaman maiware masa hadapan.

Maiware 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 malware will interrupt user on activities by using computer (Wikipedia). User also will feel unsecured because of maiware even though an antivirus on computer or laptop. According to Mayer (2011), some computer consultants say the global malware threat has gotten so bad that conventional security measures, such as anti-virus software, are no longer adequate to fight them. It is because antivirus cannot prevent the malware 100%. Mohammad (2010) stated that "If use anti-virus, user might even be vulnerable to malWare for some extent". 2 Computer Antivirus Researcher's Organization (CARO) (1990) had attempts to regulate the classification process of maiware. 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 by different antivirus solutions, which can lead confusion. Now days, malicious programs are rapidly increases as well as the advent of new platforms of antivirus. There are several types of malware that being classified based on their type. There are Pishing, Spyware, Trojan Horse, Virus, Worm, Adware, Crimeware, Keyloggers, Hijackers, Rogue Security Software and etc. Statistic shows that maiware attack window platform 84.3 % of all virus infections can be traced back to the drive-by attacks from malicious or compromised websites according to Jonas(2013). All of these malware have different characteristics and different ways to attack computer. 1.2 Problem Statement Hybrid maiware is malicious code that combines characteristics of different types of maiware (Margeret, 2008). Typically different maiware have different characteristics. It is very difficult to find out exactly what types of maiware have attack our computer even though with the latest antivirus. Maiware give a bad threat to computer's user. The intelligence of maiware now days should not be underestimated by computer's user. It should be a main reason why user should secure their computer from the maiware. It is because the maiware are created with different characteristic to create a problem to computer's user. 3 The specific problem that maiware has create, now a days there are various type of maiware that become difficulty to antivirus to confirm or differentiate what type of maiware attack the computer based on their characteristics.

  • 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.
