Classification of Malware Persistence Mechanisms Using Low-Artifact Disk
CLASSIFICATION OF MALWARE PERSISTENCE MECHANISMS USING LOW-ARTIFACT DISK INSTRUMENTATION A Dissertation Presented by Jennifer Mankin to The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical and Computer Engineering in the field of Computer Engineering Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts September 2013 Abstract The proliferation of malware in recent years has motivated the need for tools to an- alyze, classify, and understand intrusions. Current research in analyzing malware focuses either on labeling malware by its maliciousness (e.g., malicious or benign) or classifying it by the variant it belongs to. We argue that, in addition to provid- ing coarse family labels, it is useful to label malware by the capabilities they em- ploy. Capabilities can include keystroke logging, downloading a file from the internet, modifying the Master Boot Record, and trojanizing a system binary. Unfortunately, labeling malware by capability requires a descriptive, high-integrity trace of malware behavior, which is challenging given the complex stealth techniques that malware employ in order to evade analysis and detection. In this thesis, we present Dione, a flexible rule-based disk I/O monitoring and analysis infrastructure. Dione interposes between a system-under-analysis and its hard disk, intercepting disk accesses and re- constructing high-level file system and registry changes as they occur. We evaluate the accuracy and performance of Dione, and show that it can achieve 100% accuracy in reconstructing file system operations, with a performance penalty less than 2% in many cases. ii Given the trustworthy behavioral traces obtained by Dione, we convert file system- level events to high-level capabilities. -

This is only partially true. The experience of researching and writing this work has been supported and encouraged by a small army of individuals I am forever grateful toward. My wife Jamie, who has been a truly patient soul and encouraging beyond measure while also being my intellectual sounding board always helping guide me to deeper insight. I have benefited from an abundance of truly wonderful teachers over the course of my academic life. Dr. Michael Salomone who steered me toward the world of international security studies since I was an undergraduate, I am thankful for his wisdom and the tremendous amount of support he has given me over the past two decades. The rest of my committee has been equally as encouraging and provided me with countless insights as this work has been gestating and evolving. -
