In this study, we analysis the distributing malware using email on the korean defense service and defense industry as the social engineering attack. E-mail attack distributes the document files with the malware. Using the malware, attacker get the Information of the targeted people and devices. we proposed expected new types of attacks by analysis and transformation. And, expect the new email attack agendas which will be tried.

Ransomware, a malicious program that requires money and then locks computers and files on network users for financial harvesting, will continue to evolve. Ransomware is a threat in mail systems that send and receive business information. By using Block Chain, Distributed Ledger technology, it is designed to be a safe mail system in which the automatically generated Ramsomware symptom data is directly linked to the security policy in the enterprise.

리플렉션은 자바 언어의 기능 중 하나로, 자바 프로그램을 실행해서 해당 프로그램을 조사하거나 내부의 동작 구조를 조작할 수 있다. 리플렉션을 사용하게 되면 자바 소스의 난독화 뿐만 아니라 정적 분석 도구의 API 호출 탐지를 방해하게 되어 분석 결과의 정확도를 떨어뜨리게 된다. 만약 이 특성을 악용해 악성 앱 제작자가 특정 API 메소드 호출을 은닉하는 목적으로 사용한다면 정적 분석에 의존하는 기존 분석 도구들이 API 메소드 호출을 탐지하기 어렵기 때문에 큰 위협이 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 안드로이드 환경에서 표본 어플리케이션에 직접 설계한 도구를 이용하여 API 메소드에 리플렉션을 적용하고, 원본 소스와 리플렉션 후 디컴파일된 소스를 비교하여 API 메소드 호출이 리플렉션을 통해서 은닉 가능함을 보여준다.

스미싱(SMiShing) 공격은 문자메시지(SMS)를 이용하여 정보를 유출하거나 타인에게 피해를 주는 행위를 일컫는다. 본 논문에서는 공격자의 공격유형에 따라 스미싱을 "직접 정보 유출", "파밍/피싱 사이트 유도", "악성어플리케이션 다운로드 유도"로 분류하였고 스미싱 공격의 시나리오를 통해 스미싱 공격을 표현하였다. 그 후 스미싱 방지 기술 동향을 파악을 위한 기존의 대응 기법들을 조사를 하고 기존의 스미싱 탐지 기법인 URL 검사와 APK 파일 분석 기법을 접목시킨 스미싱 탐지 모델을 제안한다.

스마트폰 사용이 급증하고 있는 현재, 안드로이드 OS 기반 스마트폰 점유율이 가장 큰 상승세를 보이고 있다. 하지만 안드로이드 OS는 자가-서명 인증서(self-signed certificate)로 애플리케이션을 검증하여, 많은 보안상의 취약점을 내재하고 있다. 자가-서명 인증서의 검증 취약점을 이용하여, 악의적인 공격자는 기존 정상 애플리케이션에 악성코드를 삽입, 리패키징(Repackaging) 하여 마켓에 유포할 수 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서, 본 논문에서는 안드로이드 애플리케이션의 서명 파일을 이용한 애플리케이션 리패키징 여부를 탐지하는 기술을 설계 및 구현한다.

Recently, attackers using malicious code in cyber security have been increased by attaching malicious code to a mail and inducing the user to execute it. Especially, it is dangerous because it is easy to execute by attaching a document type file. The author analysis is a research area that is being studied in NLP (Neutral Language Process) and text mining, and it studies methods of analyzing authors by analyzing text sentences, texts, and documents in a specific language. In case of attack mail, it is created by the attacker. Therefore, by analyzing the contents of the mail and the attached document file and identifying the corresponding author, it is possible to discover more distinctive features from the normal mail and improve the detection accuracy. In this pager, we proposed IADA2(Intelligent Attack mail Detection based on Authorship Analysis) model for attack mail detection. The feature vector that can classify and detect attack mail from the features used in the existing machine learning based spam detection model and the features used in the author analysis of the document and the IADA2 detection model. We have improved the detection models of attack mails by simply detecting term features and extracted features that reflect the sequence characteristics of words by applying n-grams. Result of experiment show that the proposed method improves performance according to feature combinations, feature selection techniques, and appropriate models.

Java applets are downloaded from web server through internet and executed in Java Virtual Machine of clients'browser. Before execution of java applets, JVM checks bytecode program with bytecode verifier and performs runtime tests with interpreter. However, these tests will not protect against undesirable runtime behavior of java applets, such as denial of service attack, email forging attack, URL spoofing attack, or annoying sound attack. In order to protect malicious applets, a technique used in this paper is java bytecode modification. This technique is used to restrict applet behavior or insert code appropriate to profiling or other monitoring efforts. Java byte modification is divided into two general forms, class-level modification involving subclassing non-final classes and method-level modification used when control over objects from final classes or interface. This paper showed that malicious applets are controlled by java bytecode modification using proxy server. This implementation does not require any changes in the web sever, JVM or web browser.

Although the number of smartphone users is continuously increasing due to the advantage of being able to easily use most of the Internet services, the number of counterfeit applications is rapidly increasing and personal information stored in the smartphone is leaked to the outside. Because Android app was developed with Java language, it is relatively easy to create counterfeit apps if attacker performs the de-compilation process to reverse app by abusing the repackaging vulnerability. Although an obfuscation technique can be applied to prevent this, but most mobile apps are not adopted. Therefore, it is fundamentally impossible to block repackaging attacks on Android mobile apps. In addition, personal information stored in the smartphone is leaked outside because it does not provide a forgery self-verification procedure on installing an app in smartphone. In order to solve this problem, blockchain is used to implement a process of certificated application registration and a fake app identification and detection mechanism is proposed on Hyperledger Fabric framework.

Malware, such as a rootkit that modifies the kernel, can adversely affect the analyst's judgment, making the analysis difficult or impossible if a mechanism to evade memory analysis is added. Therefore, we plan to preemptively respond to malware such as rootkits that bypass detection through advanced kernel modulation in the future. To this end, the main structure used in the Windows kernel was analyzed from the attacker's point of view, and a method capable of modulating the kernel object was applied to modulate the memory dump file. The result of tampering is confirmed through experimentation that it cannot be detected by memory analysis tool widely used worldwide. Then, from the analyst's point of view, using the concept of tamper resistance, it is made in the form of software that can detect tampering and shows that it is possible to detect areas that are not detected by existing memory analysis tools. Through this study, it is judged that it is meaningful in that it preemptively attempted to modulate the kernel area and derived insights to enable precise analysis. However, there is a limitation in that the necessary detection rules need to be manually created in software implementation for precise analysis.

For a long time now, general-purpose processors have provided dedicated hardware / software tracing modules to provide developers with tools to fix bugs. A hardware tracer generates its enormous data into a log that is used for both performance analysis and debugging. Processor Trace (PT) is a new hardware-based tracing feature for Intel CPUs that traces branches executing on the CPU, which allows the reconstruction of the control flow of all executed code with minimal labor. Hardware tracer has been integrated into the operating system, which allows tight integration with its profiling and debugging mechanisms. However, in the Windows environment, existing studies related to PT focused on decoding only one flow in sequence. In this paper, we propose an extended PT decoder structure that provides basic data for real-time trace and malicious code detection using the functions provided by PT in Windows environment.
