    Methods for Improving the Quality of Software Obfuscation for Android Applications Methoden zur Verbesserung der Qualit¨atvon Softwareverschleierung f¨urAndroid-Applikationen Der Technischen Fakult¨atder Friedrich-Alexander-Universit¨at Erlangen-N¨urnberg zur Erlangung des Grades DOKTOR-INGENIEUR vorgelegt von Yan Zhuang aus Henan, VR China Als Dissertation genehmigt von der Technischen Fakult¨atder Friedrich-Alexander-Universit¨at Erlangen-N¨urnberg Tag der m¨undlichen Pr¨ufung: 26. September 2017 Vorsitzende des Promotionsorgans: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Reinhard Lerch Gutachter: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Felix C. Freiling Prof. Dr. Jingqiang Lin Dedicated to my dear parents. Abstract Obfuscation technique provides the semantically identical but syntactically distinguished transformation, so that to obscure the source code to hide the critical information while preserving the functionality. In that way software authors are able to prevail the re- sources e.g. computing power, time, toolset, detection algorithms, or experience etc., the revere engineer could afford. Because the Android bytecode is practically easier to decompile, and therefore to reverse engineer, than native machine code, obfuscation is a prominent criteria for Android software copyright protection. However, due to the lim- ited computing resources of the mobile platform, different degree of obfuscation will lead to different level of performance penalty, which might not be tolerable for the end-user. In this thesis, we optimize the Android obfuscation transformation process that brings in as much “difficulty" as possible meanwhile constrains the performance loss to a tolerable level. We implement software complexity metrics to automatically and quantitatively evaluate the “difficulty" of the obfuscation results. We firstly investigate the properties of the 7 obfuscation methods from the obfuscation engine Pandora.

  • What Are Kernel-Mode Rootkits?
    www.it-ebooks.info Hacking Exposed™ Malware & Rootkits Reviews “Accessible but not dumbed-down, this latest addition to the Hacking Exposed series is a stellar example of why this series remains one of the best-selling security franchises out there. System administrators and Average Joe computer users alike need to come to grips with the sophistication and stealth of modern malware, and this book calmly and clearly explains the threat.” —Brian Krebs, Reporter for The Washington Post and author of the Security Fix Blog “A harrowing guide to where the bad guys hide, and how you can find them.” —Dan Kaminsky, Director of Penetration Testing, IOActive, Inc. “The authors tackle malware, a deep and diverse issue in computer security, with common terms and relevant examples. Malware is a cold deadly tool in hacking; the authors address it openly, showing its capabilities with direct technical insight. The result is a good read that moves quickly, filling in the gaps even for the knowledgeable reader.” —Christopher Jordan, VP, Threat Intelligence, McAfee; Principal Investigator to DHS Botnet Research “Remember the end-of-semester review sessions where the instructor would go over everything from the whole term in just enough detail so you would understand all the key points, but also leave you with enough references to dig deeper where you wanted? Hacking Exposed Malware & Rootkits resembles this! A top-notch reference for novices and security professionals alike, this book provides just enough detail to explain the topics being presented, but not too much to dissuade those new to security.” —LTC Ron Dodge, U.S.

Canzanese, Jr. in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2015 c Copyright 2015 Raymond J. Canzanese, Jr. ii Dedications To Madison, without whose support and companionship this would have been a far less rewarding and enjoyable experience. iii Acknowledgments Throughout the course of writing this thesis, I was surrounded by an outstanding community who provided the support, inspiration, encouragement, and distraction necessary for its completion. To my advisers, Moshe Kam and Spiros Mancoridis, and committee, Naga Kandasamy, Ko Nishino, Harish Sethu, and Steven Weber, I am most thankful. It was their insights, guidance, feedback, and support that made this thesis possible. I cannot overstate the depth and breadth of the lessons I have learned from them, which have shaped not only this thesis, but my general approach to problem solving, my outlook on life, and my ambitions. That my advisers managed to find the time, energy, and patience to meet with me regularly to discuss my successes and failures confounds me. Watching them advance in their careers while remaining so humble and grounded has been truly inspiring. I also had the great fortune to learn from a number of other faculty members here at Drexel who have helped shape and inspire this work, including Kapil Dandekar, John Walsh, Tom Chmielewski, Ali Shokoufandeh, and Marcello Balduccini. My friends and colleagues here at Drexel, especially those members of the Data Fusion Lab and Software Engineering Research Group, have also served to educate, motivate, and inspire me.

Anti- 21st century, the need for system security has also become Virus Scanners (AVS) follow traditional signature based inevitable. While the developments in the IT sector have detection method to identify malware. Signatures are the innumerable advantages but attacks on websites and computer sequences of bytes existent in the database. Although systems are also increasing relatively. One such attack is zero day signature based examination can discern malware by yielding malware attack which poses a great challenge for the security low false positive rates but this technique turns out to be testers. The malware pen testers can use bypass techniques like inefficient for malware whose signature are not listed in the Compression, Code obfuscation and Encryption techniques to database. Also, once should be well versed with the minutiae easily deceive present day Antivirus Scanners. This paper of software for static analysis, which is not usually possible. elucidates a novel malware identification approach based on Malware detection using static analysis can be easily extracting unique aspects of API sequences. The proposed feature selection method based on N grams and odds ratio circumvented by malware writers by making use of the selection, capture unique and distinct API sequences from the obfuscation techniques.

  • 2Nd Annual Cyber Resilience for National Security DC/VA, USA 17 September - 19 September 2013 41
    As much as I like going to industry conferences, enjoying their energy and frenzy, and getting together with old friends, sometimes company events like the BalaBit IT Security one I recently attended in Budapest inspire me even more. Getting to meet so many dedicated security experts and a peek into their everyday work really makes you conscious of the fact that we are all doing our best to "fight the good fight." With that in mind, this is our latest contribution to it, and we hope you'll enjoy it.

While acknowledging that estimating a P2P botnet’s size is difficult and that there is currently no systematic way to analyze their resilience against takedown attempts, they have nevertheless managed to apply their methods to real-world P2P botnets and come up with quality information. They used crawling and sensor injection to detect the size of the botnets and discovered Following increased efforts by a number of two things: that some botnets number over a companies and organizations, the takedown million of bots, and that sensor injection offers on botnet C&C servers is now a pretty regular more accurate results.

  • RNNIDS: Enhancing Network Intrusion Detection Systems Through Deep Learning
    1 RNNIDS: Enhancing Network Intrusion Detection Systems through Deep Learning SOROUSH M. SOHI, Security in Telecommunications Technische Universität Berlin JEAN-PIERRE SEIFERT, Security in Telecommunications Technische Universität Berlin, and Fraunhofer-Institut für Sichere Informationstechnologie FATEMEH GANJI, Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Worcester Polytechnic Institute Security of information passing through the Internet is threatened by today’s most advanced malware ranging from orchestrated botnets to simpler polymorphic worms. These threats, as examples of zero-day attacks, are able to change their behavior several times in the early phases of their existence to bypass the network intrusion detection systems (NIDS). In fact, even well-designed, and frequently-updated signature- based NIDS cannot detect the zero-day treats due to the lack of an adequate signature database, adaptive to intelligent attacks on the Internet. More importantly, having an NIDS, it should be tested on malicious traffic dataset that not only represents known attacks, but also can to some extent reflect the characteristics of unknown, zero-day attacks. Generating such traffic is identified in the literature as one of the main obstacles for evaluating the effectiveness of NIDS. To address these issues, we introduce RNNIDS that applies Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) to find complex patterns in attacks and generate similar ones. In this regard, for the first time, we demonstrate that RNNs are helpful to generate new, unseen mutants of attacks aswell synthetic signatures from the most advanced malware to improve the intrusion detection rate. Besides, to further enhance the design of an NIDS, RNNs can be employed to generate malicious datasets containing, e.g., unseen mutants of a malware.
