  • The cyber attacks of recent attacks that target zero-day exploit security vulnerabilities before the security patch is released (Zero Day) attack, the web site is without the Lord. These attacks, those that use the vulnerability of security that is built into the software itself is in most cases, cyber attacks that use the vulnerability of the security of the source code, in particular, has a characteristic response that are difficult to security equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate the security vulnerability from step to implement the software to prevent these attacks. In this paper, we try to design a Secure Coding Guide support tool to eliminate the threat of security from the stage of implementation.

  • Anonymity online has been an ever so fundamental topic among journalists, experts, cybersecurity professionals, corporate whistleblowers. Highest degree of anonymity online can be obtained by mimicking a normal everyday user of the internet. Without raising any flags of suspicion and perfectly merging with the masses of public users. Online Security is a very diverse topic, with new exploits, malwares, ransomwares, zero-day attacks, breaches occurring every day, staying updated with the latest security measures against them is quite expensive and resource intensive. Network security through anonymity focuses on being unidentifiable by disguising or blending into the public to become invisible to the targeted attacks. By following strict digital discipline, we can avoid all the malicious attacks as a whole. In this paper we have demonstrated a proof of concept and feasibility of securing yourself on a network by being anonymous.

  • While the internet has evolved in terms of information sharing and efficiency, it is still prone to security attacks and remains vulnerable even when equipped with a security mechanism. Repeated patching against hacks involves excessive wear of system equipment and high costs. Methods of improving network security include the introduction of security equipment and network partitions, but they have not been fully effective. A fundamental solution is the Operation Content Network (OCN), which enables the strengthening of authentication. In this paper, Instead of following the existing TCP/IP system, OCN establishes an immunity-based security system through content-centric communications. Data transmission occurs over a Content Centric Network (CCN), which is provided with a protocol verified by the CCNx group. Areas protected by OCN rely only on CCN for communication without using any IP. As such, it defends the system against unknown attacks, including zero-day attacks.

  • The conventional network security solutions for manufacturing or factory automation devices are concentrated on protecting the internal networks from the attacks of external networks. Recently, however, so called Day-zero attacks are increased; the threat from internal devices such as notebooks, USB devices are as critical as attacks from external networks. Thus a new security solution is needed to protect manufacturing devices from both external and internal threat. To this purpose, we propose an edge-security system to provide cost effective, integrated, and simple end-point security solution specialized for automated manufacturing devices, which may avoid the shortcomings of NAC.

  • Due to the advance of ICT, a variety of attacks have been developing and active. Recently, APT attacks using malicious codes have frequently occurred. Advanced Persistent Threat means that a hacker makes different security threats to attack a certain network of a company or an organization. Exploiting malicious codes or weaknesses, the hacker occupies an insider's PC of the company or the organization and accesses a server or a database through the PC to collect secrets or to destroy them. The paper suggested a countermeasure to cope with APT attacks through an APT attack process. It sought a countermeasure to delay the time to attack taken by the hacker and suggested the countermeasure able to detect and remove APT attacks.

  • The APT attacks are hackers created a variety of security threats will continue to attack applied to the network of a particular company or organization. It referred to as intelligent sustained attack. After securing your PC after a particular organization's internal staff access to internal server or database through the PC or remove and destroy the confidential information. The APT attack is so large, there are two zero-day attacks and rootkits. APT is a process of penetration attack, search, acquisition, and is divided into outlet Step 4. It was defined in two ways how you can respond to APT through the process. Technical descriptions were divided into ways to delay the attacker's malicious code attacks time and plan for attacks to be detected and removed through.

  • Recently, automated signature generation systems(ASGSs) have been developed in order to cope with zero-day attacks with malicious codes exploiting vulnerabilities which are not yet publically noticed. To enhance the usefulness of the signatures generated by (ASGSs) it is essential to identify signatures only with the high accuracy of intrusion detection among a number of generated signatures and to provide them to target security systems in a timely manner. This automated signature exchange, distribution, and update operations have to be performed in a secure and universal manner beyond the border of network administrations, and also should be able to eliminate the noise in a signature set which causes performance degradation of the security systems. In this paper, we present a system architecture to support the identification of high quality signatures and to share them among security systems through a scheme which can evaluate the detection accuracy of individual signatures, and also propose a set of algorithms dealing with exchanging, distributing and updating signatures. Though the experiment on a test-bed, we have confirmed that the high quality signatures are automatically saved at the level that the noise rate of a signature set is reduced. The system architecture and the algorithm proposed in the paper can be adopted to a automated signature sharing framework.

  • Recently, with the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing technologies, security threats have increased as malicious codes infect IoT devices, and new malware spreads ransomware to cloud servers. In this study, we propose a threat-detection technique that checks obfuscated script patterns to compensate for the shortcomings of conventional signature-based and behavior-based detection methods. Proposed is a malicious code-detection technique that is based on malicious script-pattern analysis that can detect zero-day attacks while maintaining the existing detection rate by registering and checking derived distribution patterns after analyzing the types of malicious scripts distributed through websites. To verify the performance of the proposed technique, a prototype system was developed to collect a total of 390 malicious websites and experiment with 10 major malicious script-distribution patterns derived from analysis. The technique showed an average detection rate of about 86% of all items, while maintaining the existing detection speed based on the detection rule and also detecting zero-day attacks.

  • The security systems using signatures cannot protect servers from new types of Internet worms. To protect servers from Internet worms, this paper proposes a system removing malicious processes and executable files without using signatures. The proposed system consists of control servers which offer the same services as those on protected servers, and agents which are installed on the protected servers. When a control server detects multicasting attacks of Internet worm, it sends information about the attacks to an agent. The agent kills malicious processes and removes executable files with this information. Because the proposed system do not use signatures, it can respond to new types of Internet worms effectively. When the proposed system is integrated with legacy security systems, the security of the protected server will be further enhanced.

  • 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.
