  • How to Handle Security Flaws in an Open Source Project
    How to Handle Security Flaws in an Open Source Project Jeremy Allison / Google / Samba Team All new products use Open Source • Economics drive this. – Underlying OS is Linux (usually) or FreeBSD. • Unless you employ Linus or other notable names, you don’t have full control over what goes into your product. • You must have a process to coordinate with Open Source upstream developers in order to ship secure products. – At the very least, you need to know about vulnerabilities in the code you’re using, even if you don’t (or can’t) fix it yourself. Dealing with upstream vulnerabilities • Ensure the upstream project takes security seriously. – This is not as common as you might think – do you have a contact point if someone reports a security flaw to you ? – https://www.linuxfoundation.org/blog/2018/04/software-security-is- a-shared-responsibility/ • Even projects that do security well themselves have dependencies. – Know what is going into your storage solution. • If you get this wrong, it can be a disaster. Process, process, process • Put a process in place to handle all security reports uniformly. – Start with an email alias: [email protected] – Can be hard to do with a pure volunteer organization, but without it you’re not professional. • Ability to get Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE) number is essential for tracking. – Linux distributions are your friends here, their security Teams can handle this for you. • The process doesn’t have to be perfect, but it does have to be consistent. The reputation game • Use gpg encrypted email to communicate with vulnerability reporters.

  • An Automated and Comprehensive Framework for Iot Botnet Detection and Analysis (Iot-BDA)
    This article has been accepted for publication in a future issue of this journal, but has not been fully edited. Content may change prior to final publication. Citation information: DOI 10.1109/ACCESS.2021.3110188, IEEE Access Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/ACCESS.2017.DOI An Automated and Comprehensive Framework for IoT Botnet Detection and Analysis (IoT-BDA) TOLIJAN TRAJANOVSKI1, NING ZHANG1 1Department of Computer Science, University of Manchester, M13 9PL UK Corresponding author: Tolijan Trajanovski (e-mail: [email protected]). ABSTRACT The proliferation of insecure Internet-connected devices gave rise to the IoT botnets which can grow very large rapidly and may perform high-impact cyber-attacks. The related studies for tackling IoT botnets are concerned with either capturing or analyzing IoT botnet samples, using honeypots and sandboxes, respectively. The lack of integration between the two implies that the samples captured by the honeypots must be manually submitted for analysis in sandboxes, introducing a delay during which a botnet may change its operation. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the proposed sandboxes is limited by the potential use of anti-analysis techniques and the inability to identify features for effective detection and identification of IoT botnets. In this paper, we propose and evaluate a novel framework, the IoT-BDA framework, for automated capturing, analysis, identification, and reporting of IoT botnets. The framework consists of honeypots integrated with a novel sandbox that supports a wider range of hardware and software configurations, and can identify indicators of compromise and attack, along with anti-analysis, persistence, and anti-forensics techniques. These features can make botnet detection and analysis, and infection remedy more effective.
