  • Trojans and Malware on the Internet an Update
    Attitude Adjustment: Trojans and Malware on the Internet An Update Sarah Gordon and David Chess IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center Yorktown Heights, NY Abstract This paper continues our examination of Trojan horses on the Internet; their prevalence, technical structure and impact. It explores the type and scope of threats encountered on the Internet - throughout history until today. It examines user attitudes and considers ways in which those attitudes can actively affect your organization’s vulnerability to Trojanizations of various types. It discusses the status of hostile active content on the Internet, including threats from Java and ActiveX, and re-examines the impact of these types of threats to Internet users in the real world. Observations related to the role of the antivirus industry in solving the problem are considered. Throughout the paper, technical and policy based strategies for minimizing the risk of damage from various types of Trojan horses on the Internet are presented This paper represents an update and summary of our research from Where There's Smoke There's Mirrors: The Truth About Trojan Horses on the Internet, presented at the Eighth International Virus Bulletin Conference in Munich Germany, October 1998, and Attitude Adjustment: Trojans and Malware on the Internet, presented at the European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research in Aalborg, Denmark, March 1999. Significant portions of those works are included here in original form.

  • (Malicious Software) Installed on Your Computer Without Your Consent to Monitor Or Control Your Computer Use
    Spyware is a type of malware (malicious software) installed on your computer without your consent to monitor or control your computer use. Clues that spyware is on a computer may include a barrage of pop-ups, a browser that takes you to sites you don't want, unexpected toolbars or icons on your computer screen, keys that don't work, random error messages, and sluggish performance when opening programs or saving files. In some cases, there may be no symptoms at all. While the term spyware suggests that software that secretly monitors the user's computing, the functions of spyware extend well beyond simple monitoring. Spyware programs can: Collect information stored on the computer or attached network drives, Collect various types of personal information, such as Internet surfing habits, sites that have been visited Collect user names and passwords stored on your computer as well as those entered from the keyboard. Interfere with user control of the computer Install additional software on the computer Redirect Web browser activity. Change computer settings, resulting in slow connection speeds, different home pages, and/or loss of Internet or functionality of other programs. The best defense against spyware and other unwanted software is not to download it in the first place. Here are a few helpful tips that can protect you from downloading software you don't want: Update your operating system and Web browser software, and set your browser security high enough to detect unauthorized downloads. Use anti-virus and anti-spyware, as well as a firewall software, and update them all regularly.

  • Detecting Malware in TLS Traffic
    IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTING Detecting Malware in TLS Traffic Project Report Supervisor: Author: Sergio Maffeis Olivier Roques Co-Supervisor: Marco Cova Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the MSc degree in Computing Science / Security and Reliability of Imperial College London September 2019 Abstract The use of encryption on the Internet has spread rapidly these last years, a trend encouraged by the growing concerns about online privacy. TLS (Transport Layer Security), the standard protocol for packet encryption, is now implemented by every major websites to protect users’ messages, transactions and credentials. However cybercriminals have started to incorporate TLS into their activities. An increasing number of malware leverage TLS encryption to hide their communications and to exfiltrate data to their command server, effectively bypassing traditional detection platforms. The goal of this project is to design and implement an effective alternative to the unpractical method of decrypting TLS packets’ payload before looking for signs of malware activity. This work presents a highly accurate supervised classifier that can detect malicious TLS flows in a company’s network traffic based on a set of features related to TLS, certificates and flow metadata. The classifier was trained on curated datasets of benign and malware observations, which were extracted from capture files thanks to a set of tools specially developed for this purpose. We detail in this report the complete development process, from data collection and feature extraction to model selection and performance analysis. ii Acknowledgments I would like to particularly thank Marco Cova and Sergio Maffeis, my project su- pervisors, for their valuable and continuous suggestions and for their constructive feedbacks on this project.

To have access restored, please deposit $100,000 in the following bitcoin account.” This is “ransomware,” one of the most prevalent forms of malicious cyber attacks facing businesses today. With a ransomware attack, a cyber hacker infects your network or device with malicious software, usually through code attached to an email or contained within seemingly legitimate software you download from a website. Once the malicious software propagates through your systems, the hacker can then encrypt your data — and contact you with an offer to pay a ransom to get the data back.

Aladdin’s Lamp: The Theft and Re-weaponization of Malicious Code Kārlis Podiņš Kenneth Geers CERT Latvia Comodo Group Riga, Latvia Toronto, Canada Abstract: Global superpowers do not have a monopoly on cyber warfare. Software thieves can steal malware written by more advanced coders and hackers, modify it, and reuse it for their own purposes. Smaller nations and even non-state actors can bypass the most technically challenging aspects of a computer network operation – vulnerability discovery and exploit development – to quickly acquire world-class cyber weapons. This paper is in two parts. First, it describes the technical aspects of malware re-weaponization, specifically the replacement of an existing payload and/or command-and-control (C2) architecture. Second, it explores the implications of this phenomenon and its ramifications for a range of strategic concerns including weapons proliferation, attack attribution, the fog of war, false flag operations, international diplomacy, and strategic miscalculation. And as with Aladdin’s magic lamp, many malware thieves discover that obtaining a powerful new weapon carries with it risks as well as rewards. Keywords: malware, cyberwar, re-weaponization, false flag, attribution 1.

Compared to making money from more traditional crimes, hacking individuals, SMEs and large organisations is a relatively low-cost, low-risk proposition for criminal groups - and there are many parts of the world where such activity is not actively prosecuted by the authorities. Many of these OCGs share similar techniques and services, and communicate with each other over heavily vetted closed criminal forums on the ‘dark web’ where they can collaborate and advertise new services, tools and techniques.
