Robotic systems have developed very rapidly over the past decade. Robot Operating System is an open source-based software framework for the efficient development of robot operating systems and applications, and is widely used in various research and industrial fields. ROS applications may contain various vulnerabilities. Various studies have been conducted to monitor the excution of these ROS applications at runtime. In this study, we propose a real-time attack detection system using event-based runtime monitoring in ROS 2. Our attack detection system extends tracetools of ros2_tracing to instrument events into core libraries of ROS 2 middleware layer and monitors the events during runtime to detect attacks on the application layer through out-of-order execution of the APIs.

침입방지 시스템(IPS, Intrusion Prevention System)은 인라인모드(in-line mode)로 네트워크에 설치되어, 네트워크를 지나는 패킷 또는 세션을 검사하여 만일 그 패킷에서 공격이 감지되면 해당 패킷을 폐기하거나 세션을 종료시킴으로서 외부의 침입으로부터 네트워크를 보호하는 시스템을 의미한다. 침입방지 시스템은 크게 두 가지 종류의 동작을 수행한다. 하나는 이미 알려진 공격으로부터 방어하는 시그너처 기반 필터링(signature based filtering)이고 다른 하나는 알려지지 않은 공격이나 비정상 세션으로부터 방어하는 자기 학습 기반의 변칙 탐지 및 방지(anomaly detection and prevention based on selflearning)이다. 시그너처 기반 필터링에서는 침입방지시스템을 통과하는 패킷의 페이로드와 시그너처라고 불리는 공격 패턴들과 비교하여 같으면 그 패킷을 폐기한다. 시그너처의 개수가 증가함에 따라 하나의 들어온 패킷에 대하여 요구되는 패턴 매칭 시간은 증가하게 되어 패킷지연 없이 동작하는 고성능 침입탐지시스템을 개발하는 것이 어렵게 되었다. 공개 침입방지 소프트웨어인 SNORT를 위한 여러 개의 효율적인 패턴 매칭 방식들이 제안되었는데 시그너처들의 공통된 부분에 대해 한번만 매칭을 수행하거나 한 바이트 단위 비교대신 여러 바이트 비교 동작을 수행함으로써 불필요한 매칭동작을 줄이려고 하였다. 본 논문에서는 패턴 매칭 시간을 시그너처의 개수와 무관하게 하기 위하여 시그너처 해싱 기반에 기반한 고성능 침입방지시스템을 제안한다.

Although many researches on IDS (Intrusion Detection System) have been performed, the most of them are limited to the algorithm of detection software. However, even an IDS with superior algorithm can not detect intrusion, if it loses packets which nay have a clue of intrusions. In this paper, we suggest an efficient wav to improve the performance of IDS by reducing packet losses occurred due to hardware limitation and abundant processing overhead introduced by massive detection software itself. The reduction in packet losses is achieved by dropping hacking-free packets. The result shows that this decrease of packet losses leads an IDS to improve the detection rate of real attack.

As drones (also known as UAV) become popular with advanced information and communication technology (ICT), they have been utilized for various fields (agriculture, architecture, and so on). However, malicious attackers with advanced drones may pose a threat to critical national infrastructures. Thus, anti-drone systems have been developed to respond to drone threats. In particular, remote identification data (R-ID)-based UAV detection and identification systems that detect and identify illegal drones with R-ID broadcasted by drones have been developed, and are widely employed worldwide. However, this R-ID-based UAV detection/identification system is vulnerable to security due to wireless broadcast characteristics. In this paper, we analyze the security vulnerabilities of DJI Aeroscope, a representative example of the R-ID-based UAV detection and identification system, and propose a replay-attack-based neutralization method using the analyzed vulnerabilities. To validate the proposed method, it is implemented as a software program, and verified against four types of attacks in real test environments. The results demonstrate that the proposed neutralization method is an effective neutralization method for R-ID-based UAV detection and identification systems.

The buffer overflow attack is the single most dominant and lethal form of security exploits as evidenced by recent worm outbreaks such as Code Red and SQL Stammer. In this paper, we propose microarchitectural techniques that can detect and recover from such malicious code attacks. The idea is that the buffer overflow attacks usually exhibit abnormal behaviors in the system. This kind of unusual signs can be easily detected by checking the safety of memory references at runtime, avoiding the potential data or control corruptions made by such attacks. Both the hardware cost and the performance penalty of enforcing the safety guards are negligible. In addition, we propose a more aggressive technique called corruption recovery buffer (CRB), which can further increase the level of security. Combined with the safety guards, the CRB can be used to save suspicious writes made by an attack and can restore the original architecture state before the attack. By performing detailed execution-driven simulations on the programs selected from SPEC CPU2000 benchmark, we evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed microarchitectural techniques. Experimental data shows that enforcing a single safety guard can reduce the number of system failures substantially by protecting the stack against return address corruptions made by the attacks. Furthermore, a small 1KB CRB can nullify additional data corruptions made by stack smashing attacks with only less than 2% performance penalty.

소프트웨어가 대형화되고 복잡해짐에 따라 소프트웨어에 내재하고 있는 소프트웨어 허점(weakness)의 발생률이 높다. 이런 허점은 컴파일러에 의해 탐지되지 않고, 공격자에 의해 발견되기 쉽다는 특징이 있기 때문에 소프트웨어 취약성을 야기한다. 스마트폰의 확산으로 인해 다양한 종류의 스마트폰 앱이 개발되고 있다. 이에 따라 스마트폰 앱이 대형화되고 복잡해지고 있으므로, 여기에 내재하는 소프트웨어 허점을 사전에 예방하는 것은 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 안드로이드 앱을 개발할 때, 소프트웨어 취약점을 야기하며, 개발자가 간과하기 쉬운 소프트웨어 허점을 사전에 제거하고자 안드로이드에 특화된 시큐어 코딩 가이드를 제시한다.

Since automatic social engineering based spam attacks induce for users to click or receive the short message service (SMS), e-mail, site address and make a relationship with an unknown friend, it is very easy for them to active in online social networks. The previous spam detection schemes only apply manual filtering of the system managers or labeling classifications regardless of the features of social networks. In this paper, we propose the spam detection metric after reflecting on a couple of features of social networks followed by analysis of real social network data set, Twitter spam. In addition, we provide the online social networks based unsupervised scheme for automated social engineering spam with self organizing map (SOM). Through the performance evaluation, we show the detection accuracy up to 90% and the possibility of real time training for the spam detection without the manager.

Recently, with the development of information and communication infrastructure, the number of Internet access devices is rapidly increasing. Smartphones, laptops, computers, and even IoT devices are receiving information and communication services through Internet access. Since most of the device operating environment consists of web (WEB), it is vulnerable to web cyber attacks using web shells. When the web shell is uploaded to the web server, it is confirmed that the attack frequency is high because the control of the web server can be easily performed. As the damage caused by the web shell occurs a lot, each company is responding to attacks with various security devices such as intrusion prevention systems, firewalls, and web firewalls. In this case, it is difficult to detect, and in order to prevent and cope with web shell attacks due to these characteristics, it is difficult to respond only with the existing system and security software. Therefore, it is an automated defense system through the collection and analysis of web shells based on artificial intelligence machine learning that can cope with new cyber attacks such as detecting unknown web shells in advance by using artificial intelligence machine learning and deep learning techniques in existing security software. We would like to propose about. The machine learning-based web shell defense system model proposed in this paper quickly collects, analyzes, and detects malicious web shells, one of the cyberattacks on the web environment. I think it will be very helpful in designing and building a security system.

Recently, the network configuration is being rapidly changed to enable easy and free network service configuration based on SDN/NFV. Despite the many advantages and applications of SDN, many security issues such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are being constantly raised as research issues. In particular, the effectiveness of DDoS attacks is much faster, SDN is causing more and more fatal damage. In this paper, we propose an entropy-based technique to detect and mitigate DDoS attacks in SDN, and prove it through experiments. The proposed scheme is designed to mitigate these attacks by detecting DDoS attacks on single and multiple victim systems and using time - specific techniques. We confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed scheme to reduce packet loss rate by 20(19.86)% while generating 3.21% network congestion.
