Malicious attackers generally attempt to intrude the target systems by taking advantage of existing system vulnerabilities and executing readily available code designed to exploit blown vulnerabilities. To the network security administrators, the rat and minimal step in providing adequate network security is to identify existing system vulnerabilities and patch them as soon as possible. Network-based vulnerability analysis scanners (NVAS), although widely used by network security engineers, have shortcomings in that they depend on limited information that is available and generally do not have access to hast-specific information. Host-based vulnerability analysis scanner (HVAS) can serve as an effective complement to NVAS. However, implementations of HVAS differ from one platform to another and from one version to another. Therefore, to security engineers who often have to maintain a large number of heterogeneous network of hosts, it is impractical to develop and manage a large number of HVAS. In this paper, we propose an agent-based architecture named ISMAEL and describe its prototype implementation. Manager process provides various agent processes with descriptiom on vulnerabilities to check, and an agent process automatically generates, compiles, and executes an Java code to determine if the target system is vulnerable or not. The result is sent back to the manager process, and data exchange occurs in % format. Such architecture provides maximal portability when managing a group of heterogeneous hosts and vulnerability database needs to be kept current because the manager process need not be modified, and much of agent process remains unchanged. We have applied the prototype implementation of ISMAEL and found it to be effective.

Web applications make life more convenient. Many web applications have several kinds of user input (e.g. personal information, a user's comment of commercial goods, etc.) for the activities. On the other hand, there are a range of vulnerabilities in the input functions of Web applications. Malicious actions can be attempted using the free accessibility of many web applications. Attacks by the exploitation of these input vulnerabilities can be achieved by injecting malicious web code; it enables one to perform a variety of illegal actions, such as SQL Injection Attacks (SQLIAs) and Cross Site Scripting (XSS). These actions come down to theft, replacing personal information, or phishing. The existing solutions use a parser for the code, are limited to fixed and very small patterns, and are difficult to adapt to variations. A machine learning method can give leverage to cover a far broader range of malicious web code and is easy to adapt to variations and changes. Therefore, this paper suggests the adaptable classification of malicious web code by machine learning approaches for detecting the exploitation user inputs. The approach usually identifies the "looks-like malicious" code for real malicious code. More detailed classification using sequence information is also introduced. The precision for the "looks-like malicious code" is 99% and for the precise classification with sequence is 90%.

In a wireless LAN environment, security is the most important. Security of 802.11 standard has many vulnerabilities of the network attack. IEEE has created mechanisms to security for this vulnerability. But the vulnerabilities is characteristic of broadcast in the air in wireless LAN, it is more disclosure then other network environments. In a wireless LAN environment, it can be accessed to the wireless LAN after authentication. Authentication process is one of most important because of the first security step. However, in the authentication process is not mentioned in the method of reducing the disclosure maximum fundamental. Therefore, in this research, the vulnerability of 802.11 are presented and how to do de-authentication in 802.11.

Password-based authentication schemes for server-client system are convenient to use, but vulnerable to dictionary attack or brute-force attack. To solve this vulnerability, Cryptographic secret key is used for security, but difficult to memorize. So, for the first time, Das proposed a biometric-based authentication scheme to solve various problems but it has various vulnerabilities. Afterwards, Jiping et al. improved Das's scheme, but some vulnerabilities remain. In this paper, we analyze the cryptanalysis of Jiping et al.'s authentication scheme and then propose improved biometric based user authentication scheme to resolve the analyzed problem. Moreover, we conduct a security analysis for the proposed scheme and make a comparison between the proposed scheme and other biometric based user authentications.

We have entered into an era of smart software system where the many kinds of embedded software, especially SCADA and Automotive software not only require high reliability and safety but also high-security. Removing software weakness during the software development lifecycle is very important because hackers exploit weaknesses which are source of software vulnerabilities when attacking a system. Therefore the coding rule as like core functions of MISRA-C should expand their coding focus on security. In this paper, we used CERT-C secure coding rules for nuclear-related software being developed to demonstrate high-safety software, and proposed how to remove software weakness during development.

There are various attacks such as tampering, bypassing and spoofing which are caused with system-wide vulnerabilities of Windows operating system. The underlying operating system is responsible for protecting application-space mechanisms against such attacks. This paper provides the implementation of mandatory access control known as multi-level security (MLS) rating with TCSEC-B1 level on th kernel of Windows$^{TM}$. By adding especially the protection feature against tampering memory of processes to the security kernel, this implementation meets the responsibility against system-wide vulnerabilities.
