This paper proposes normal behavior profiling methods for anomaly detection in IEC 61850 based substation network. Signature based security solutions, currently used primarily, are inadequate for APT attack using zero-day vulnerabilities. Recently, some researches about anomaly detection in control network are ongoing. However, there are no published result for IEC 61850 substation network. Our proposed methods includes 3-phase preprocessing for MMS/GOOSE packets and normal behavior profiling using one-class SVM algorithm. These approaches are beneficial to detect APT attacks on IEC 61850 substation network.

Despite the increasing hacking threats and security threats as IT technology advances and many companies adopt security solutions, cyberattacks and threats still persist for years. APT attack is a technique of selecting a specific target and continuing to attack. The threat of an APT attack uses all possible means through the electronic network to perform APT for years. Zero-day attacks, malicious code distribution, and social engineering techniques are performed, and some of them directly invade companies. These techniques have been in effect since 2000, and are similarly used in voice phishing, especially for social engineering techniques. Therefore, it is necessary to study countermeasures against APT attacks. This study analyzes the attack cases of Korean-based APT groups in Korea and suggests the correct method of using intelligence to analyze APT attack groups.

APT attack aimed at the interruption of information and communication facilities and important information leakage of companies. it performs an attack using zero-day vulnerabilities, social engineering base on collected information, such as IT infra, business environment, information of employee, for a long period of time. Fragmentary response to cyber threats such as malware signature detection methods can not respond to sophisticated cyber-attacks, such as APT attacks. In this paper, we propose a cyber intrusion detection model for countermeasure of APT attack by utilizing heterogeneous system log into big-data. And it also utilizes that merging pattern-based detection methods and abnormality detection method.

As the social and financial damages caused by APT attack such as 3.20 cyber terror are increased, the technical solution against APT attack is required. It is, however, difficult to protect APT attack with existing security equipments because the attack use a zero-day malware persistingly. In this paper, we propose a host based anomaly detection method to overcome the limitation of the conventional signature-based intrusion detection system. First, we defined 39 features to identify between normal and abnormal behavior, and then collected 8.7 million feature data set that are occurred during running both malware and normal executable file. Further, each process is represented as 83-dimensional vector that profiles the frequency of appearance of features. the vector also includes the frequency of features generated in the child processes of each process. Therefore, it is possible to represent the whole behavior information of the process while the process is running. In the experimental results which is applying C4.5 decision tree algorithm, we have confirmed 2.0% and 5.8% for the false positive and the false negative, respectively.

The Recently, most of Internet attacks are zero-day types of the unknown attacks by Malware. Using already known Misuse Detection Technology is hard to cope with these attacks. Also, the existing information security technology reached the limits because of various attack's patterns over the Internet, as web based service became more affordable, web service exposed to the internet becomes main target of attack. This paper classifies the traffic type over the internet and suggests the Threat Management System(TMS) including the anomaly intrusion detection technologies which can detect and analyze the anomaly sign for each traffic type.

The army developed the ATCIS(Army Tactical Command Information System) for the battlefield information system with share the command control information through the realtime. The using the public key and the encryption equipment in the ATCIS is enough to the confidentiality, integrity. But, it is vulnerable about the availability with the zero day attack. In this paper, we implement the worm propagation simulation on the ATCIS infrastructure through the modelling on the ATCIS operation environment. We propose the countermeasures based on the results from the simulation.

인터넷에서 발생하고 있는 심각한 문제의 대부분이 멀웨어(Malware)로 인하여 발생하고 있으며, 전 세계적으로 전파되고 그 영향은 점점 악화되고 있다. 이 악성소프트웨어는 점점 더 복잡하여 지고 있으며, 이에 따라 멀웨어에 대한 분석도 어렵게 되고 있다. 그러므로 멀웨어 탐지 기술 및 그 특징에 대한 분석이 절실히 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 효과적인 멀웨어에 대한 탐지 및 대응기법 수립을 위하여 인터넷 멀웨어를 분류하기 위한 방법과 탐지 기법에 대하여 분석 및 고찰하고자한다. 또한 제로-데이 공격에 대응하고자 개발된 ZASMIN(N(Zero-day Attack Signature Manufacture Infrastructure) 시스템의 특징에 대하여도 간략히 기술한다.

NAC(Network Access Control) has been developed as a solution for the security of end-point user, to be a target computer of worm attack which does not use security patch of OS and install Anti-Virus, which spreads the viruses in the Intra-net. Currently the NAC products in market have a sufficient technology of pre-connect, but insufficient one of post-connect which detects the threats after the connect through regular authentication. Therefore NAC users have been suffered from Zero-day attacks and malware infection. In this paper, to solve the problems in the post-connect step we generate the normal behavior profiles using the traffic information of each host, host information through agent, information of open port and network configuration modification through network scanner addition to authentication of host and inspection of policy violation used before. Based on these we propose the system to detect the hosts infected malware.

Recently application of open protocols and external network linkage to the national critical infrastructure has been growing with the development of information and communication technologies. This trend could mean that the national critical infrastructure is exposed to cyber attacks and can be seriously jeopardized when it gets remotely operated or controlled by viruses, crackers, or cyber terrorists. In this paper virtual Honeynet model which can reduce installation and operation resource problems of Honeynet system is proposed. It maintains the merits of Honeynet system and adapts the virtualization technology. Also, virtual Honeynet model that can minimize operating cost is proposed with data analysis and collecting technique based on the verification of attack intention and focus-oriented analysis technique. With the proposed model, new type of attack detection system based on virtual Honeynet, that is Cybertrap, is designed and implemented with the host and data collecting technique based on the verification of attack intention and the network attack pattern visualization technique. To test proposed system we establish test-bed and evaluate the functionality and performance through series of experiments.

Our PC have been under constant threat of malicious codes and viruses today. As many new ways of cyber attacks are being developed, such as zero-day-attack, nobody's PC is guaranteed to be safe from the attacks. In case where a user uses the existing verification protocol on a unsecured PC, the user's verification information may well be threatened by sniffing or man-in-the-middle attack. Especially, deadly attacks like memory hacking would give hard time for users to even recognize any symptom of virus infection. Therefore, this paper designs secured QR-Login user verification protocol for smart devices that are ready to communicate with QR-Code and proposes a way to keep critical data safe when using the internet. This way, user would be able to safeguard his/her critical data even when under attack by unknown attacks and safely carry out extremely sensitive task, like financial trading, on the device.
