Reverse Engineering (Reversing Malware) © SERG Reversing Malware • Revering is the strongest weapon we have against the creators of malware. • Antivirus researchers engage in reversing in order to: – analyze the latest malware, – determine how dangerous the malware is, – learn the weaknesses of malware so that effective antivirus programs can be developed.

Types of Malware • Viruses • Worms • Trojan Horses • Backdoors • Mobile code • Adware • Sticky software Metamorphic viruses • Instead of encrypting the program’s body and making slight alterations in the decryption engine, alter the entire program each time it is replicated. • This makes it extremely difficult for antivirus writers to use signature-matching techniques to identify malware. • Metamorphism requires a powerful code analysis engine that needs to be embedded into the malware. Metamorphic viruses: Operation • Metamorphic engine scans the code and generates a different version of it every time the program is duplicated. • The metamorphic engine performs a wide variety of transformations on the malware and on the engine itself. -

Limiting Vulnerability Exposure Through Effective Patch Management: Threat Mitigation Through Vulnerability Remediation
Limiting Vulnerability Exposure through effective Patch Management: threat mitigation through vulnerability remediation Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE in the Department of Computer Science of Rhodes University Dominic Stjohn Dolin White <[email protected]> January 2006 Abstract This document aims to provide a complete discussion on vulnerability and patch management.It looks first at the trends relating to vulnerabilities, exploits, attacks and patches. These trends provide the drivers of patch and vulnerability management. Understanding these allows the fol- lowing chapters to present both policy and technical solutions to the problem. The policy lays out a comprehensive set of steps that can be followed by any organisation to implement their own patch management policy, including practical advice on integration with other policies, manag- ing risk, strategies for reducing downtime and vulnerability and generating patch metrics. It then discusses how best a vendors should implement a related patch release policy that will allow end-users to most effectively and timeously mitigate vulnerabilities. The next chapter discussed the technical aspect of automating parts of such a policy and how defence in depth can be ap- plied to the field of patch management. The document then concludes that patch management is becoming more difficult and the guidelines described will go a long way into creating a workable and effective means for mitigating exposure to vulnerabilities. However, more research is needed into vulnerabilities, exploits and particularly into threats.

Security Testing
Dependable Software Systems Security Testing © SERG Computer Security • The goal of computer security is to protect computer assets (e.g., servers, applications, web pages, data) from: – corruption – unauthorized access – denial of authorized access – malicious software • Security is strengthened by: – physically limiting the access of computers to trusted users – hardware mechanisms (e.g., biometrics) – operating system mechanisms that impose rules on untrusted programs (e.g., role-based access control) – anti-virus software to detect malware – secure coding techniques (e.g., array bounds checking) to make code less vulnerable to security attacks. © SERG Approach to Software Security • Verify that security mechanisms are trustworthy • Verify that security architecture adheres to the security policy • Verify that the applications that constitute the system are trustworthy – i.e., they have been developed using secure coding practices, or they are not malware. © SERG Security Architecture • A security architecture is a specification that is used as a guide to enforce security constraints • It specifies where security mechanisms (e.g., encryption, firewalls) need to be positioned in the software architecture • The quality of a security architecture also depends on the security of the applications that constitute the system © SERG Security Architecture • Security architecture describes the position of security mechanisms in the software architecture and comprises: – subsystems • e.g., web servers, application servers, DBMS, directories, web -

Limiting Vulnerability Exposure Through Effective Patch Management: Threat Mitigation Through Vulnerability Remediation
Limiting Vulnerability Exposure through effective Patch Management: threat mitigation through vulnerability remediation Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE in the Department of Computer Science of Rhodes University Dominic Stjohn Dolin White <[email protected]> January 2006 Abstract This document aims to provide a complete discussion on vulnerability and patch management. The first chapters look at the trends relating to vulnerabilities, exploits, attacks and patches. These trends describe the drivers of patch and vulnerability management and situate the dis- cussion in the current security climate. The following chapters then aim to present both policy and technical solutions to the problem. The policies described lay out a comprehensive set of steps that can be followed by any organisation to implement their own patch management policy, including practical advice on integration with other policies, managing risk, identifying vulner- ability, strategies for reducing downtime and generating metrics to measure progress. Having covered the steps that can be taken by users, a strategy describing how best a vendor should implement a related patch release policy is provided. An argument is made that current monthly patch release schedules are inadequate to allow users to most effectively and timeously mitigate vulnerabilities. The final chapters discuss the technical aspect of automating parts of the policies described. In particular the concept of ’defense in depth’ is used to discuss additional strategies for ’buying time’ during the patch process. The document then goes on to conclude that in the face of increasing malicious activity and more complex patching, solid frameworks such as those provided in this document are required to ensure an organisation can fully manage the patching process. -
