    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.

  • Mechanism: Limited Direct Execution
    6 Mechanism: Limited Direct Execution In order to virtualize the CPU, the operating system needs to some- how share the physical CPU among many jobs running seemingly at the same time. The basic idea is simple: run one process for a little while, then run another one, and so forth. By time sharing the CPU in this manner, virtualization is achieved. There are a few challenges, however, in building such virtualiza- tion machinery. The first is performance: how can we implement vir- tualization without adding excessive overhead to the system? The second is control: how can we run processes efficiently while retain- ing control over the CPU? Control is particularly important to the OS, as it is in charge of resources; without it, a process could simply run forever and take over the machine, or access information that it shouldn’t be allowed to access. Attaining performance while main- taining control is thus one of the central challenges in building an operating system. THE CRUX: HOW TO EFFICIENTLY VIRTUALIZE THE CPU WITH CONTROL The OS must virtualize the CPU in an efficient manner, but while retaining control over the system. To do so, both hardware and op- erating systems support will be required. The OS will often use a judicious bit of hardware support in order to accomplish its work effectively. 1 2 MECHANISM:LIMITED DIRECT EXECUTION 6.1 Basic Technique: Limited Direct Execution To make a program run as fast as one might expect, not surpris- ingly OS developers came up with a simple technique, which we call limited direct execution.

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.

  • BSD Based Systems
    Pregled BSD sistema I projekata Glavne BSD grane FreeBSD Homepage: http://www.freebsd.org/ FreeBSD je Unix-like slobodni operativni sistem koji vodi poreklo iz AT&T UNIX-a preko Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) grane kroz 386BSD i 4.4BSD. Radi na procesorima kompatibilnim sa Intel x86 familijom procesora, kao I na DEC Alpha, UltraSPARC procesorima od Sun Microsystems, Itanium (IA-64), AMD64 i PowerPC procesorima. Radi I na PC-98 arhitekturi. Podrska za ARM i MIPS arhitekture je trenutno u razvoju. Početkom 1993. godine Jordan K. Hubbard, Rod Grimes i Nate Williams su pokrenuli projekat čiji je cilj bio rešavanje problema koji su postojali u principima razvoja Jolitzovog 386BSD-a. Posle konsultovanja sa tadašnjim korisnicima sistema, uspostavljeni su principi i smišljeno je ime - FreeBSD. Pre nego što je konkretan razvoj i počeo, Jordan Hubbard je predložio je firmi Walnut Creek CDROM (danas BSDi) da pripreme distribuiranje FreeBSD-a na CD-ROM-ovima. Walnut Creek CDROM su prihvatili ideju, ali i obezbedili (tada potpuno nepoznatom) projektu mašinu na kojoj će biti razvijan i brzu Internet konekciju. Bez ove pomoći teško da bi FreeBSD bio razvijen u ovolikoj meri i ovolikom brzinom kao što jeste. Prva distribucija FreeBSD-a na CD-ROM-ovima (i naravno na netu) bila je FreeBSD 1.0, objavljena u decembru 1993. godine. Bila je zasnovana na Berkeley-evoj 4.3BSD-Lite ("Net/2") traci, a naravno sadržala je i komponente 386BSD-a i mnoge programe Free Software Foundation (fondacija besplatnog- slobodnog softvera). Nakon što je Novell otkupio UNIX od AT&T-a, Berkeley je morao da prizna da Net/2 traka sadrži velike delove UNIX koda.

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.
