Microsoft Office is an office suite of applications developed by Microsoft. Recently users with malicious intent customize Office files as a container of the Malware because MS Office is most commonly used word processing program. To attack target system, many of malicious office files using a variety of skills and techniques like macro function, hiding shell code inside unused area, etc. And, people usually use two techniques to detect these kinds of malware. These are Signature-based detection and Sandbox. However, there is some limits to what it can afford because of the increasing complexity of malwares. Therefore, this paper propose methods to detect malicious MS office files in Computer forensics' way. We checked Macros and potential problem area with structural analysis of the MS Office file for this purpose.

Recently, several environment damage caused by malicious or suspicious code is increasing. We study comprehensive response system actively for malware detection. Suspicious code is installed on your PC without your consent, users are unaware of the damage. Also, there are need to technology for realtime processing of Big Data. We must develope advanced technology for malware detection. We must analyze the static, dynamic of executable file for fundamentally malware detection in recently and verified by a reputation for verification. It is need to judgment of similarity for realtime response with big data. In this paper, we proposed realtime detection and verification technology using multiple filter. Our malware study suggests a new direction of realtime malware detection.

Recently, due to the appearance of various types of malware, the existing static analysis exposes many limitations. Static analysis means analyzing the structure of a code or program with source code or object code without actually executing the (malicious) code. On the other hand, dynamic analysis in the field of information security generally refers to a form that directly executes and analyzes (malware) code, and compares and examines and analyzes the state before and after execution of (malware) code to grasp the execution flow of the program. However, dynamic analysis required analyzing huge amounts of data and logs, and it was difficult to actually store all execution flows. In this paper, we propose and implement a preprocessor architecture of a system that performs malware detection and real-time multi-dynamic analysis based on 2nd generation PT in Windows environment (Windows 10 R5 and above).

Anomaly detection systems playa significant role in protection mechanism against attacks launched on a network. The greatest challenge in designing systems detecting anomalous exploits is defining what to measure. Effective yet simple, Shannon entropy metrics have been successfully used to detect specific types of malicious traffic in a number of commercially available IDS's. We believe that Renyi entropy measures can also adequately describe the characteristics of a network as a whole as well as detect abnormal traces in the observed traffic. In addition, Renyi entropy metrics might boost sensitivity of the methods when disambiguating certain anomalous patterns. In this paper we describe our efforts to understand how Renyi mutual information can be applied to anomaly detection as an offline computation. An initial analysis has been performed to determine how well fast spreading worms (Slammer, Code Red, and Welchia) can be detected using our technique. We use both synthetic and real data audits to illustrate the potentials of our method and provide a tentative explanation of the results.

Advanced persistent threats (APTs) are constant attacks of specific targets by hackers using intelligent methods. All current internal infrastructures are constantly subject to APT attacks created by external and unknown malware. Therefore, information security officers require a framework that can assess whether information security systems are capable of detecting and blocking APT attacks. Furthermore, an on-line evaluation of information security systems is required to cope with various malicious code attacks. A regular evaluation of the information security system is thus essential. In this paper, we propose a dynamic updated evaluation framework to improve the detection rate of internal information systems for malware that is unknown to most (over 60 %) existing static information security system evaluation methodologies using non-updated unknown malware.

A registry is a hierarchy database which is designed to store information necessary for operating system and application programs in Windows operating system, and it is involved in all activities such as booting, logging, service execution, application execution, and user behavior. Digital forensic is widely used. In recent years, malicious codes have penetrated into systems in a way that is not recognized by the user, and valuable information is leaked or stolen, causing financial damages. Therefore, this study proposes a method to detect malicious code by using a shareware application without using expensive digital forensic program, so as to analysis hacking methods and prevent hacking damage in advance.

Despite the convenience brought by the advances in web and Internet technology, users are increasingly being exposed to the danger of various types of cyber attacks. In particular, recent studies have shown that today's cyber attacks usually occur on the web via malware distribution and the stealing of personal information. A drive-by download is a kind of web-based attack for malware distribution. Researchers have proposed various methods for detecting a drive-by download attack effectively. However, existing methods have limitations against recent evasion techniques, including JavaScript obfuscation, hiding, and dynamic code evaluation. In this paper, we propose an emulation-based malicious webpage detection method. Based on our study on the limitations of the existing methods and the state-of-the-art evasion techniques, we will introduce four features that can detect malware distribution networks and we applied them to the proposed method. Our performance evaluation using a URL scan engine provided by VirusTotal shows that the proposed method detects malicious webpages more precisely than existing solutions.

In order to respond against worms which are malicious programs automatically spreading across communication networks, worm detection approach by generating signatures resulting from analyzing worm-related packets is being mostly used. However, to avoid such signature-based detection techniques, usage of exploits employing mutated polymorphic types are becoming more prevalent. In this paper, we propose a novel static analysis approach for detecting the decryption routine of polymorphic exploit code, Our approach detects a code routine for performing the decryption of the encrypted original code which are contained with the polymorphic exploit code within the network flows. The experiment results show that our approach can detect polymorphic exploit codes in which the static analysis resistant techniques are used. It is also revealed that our approach is more efficient than the emulation-based approach in the processing performance.

In malware accident investigation, the most important thing is detection of malicious code. Signature based anti-virus softwares have been used in most of the accident. Malware can easily avoid signature based detection by using packing or encryption method. Because of this, packed file detection is also important. Detection methods can be divided into signature based detection and entropy based detection. Signature based detection can not detect new packing. And entropy based detection has a problem with false positive. We provides detection method using entropy statistics of entry point section and 'write' properties of essential characteristic of packed file. And then, we show packing detection tool and evaluate its performance.

This paper analyzes the attack method of pastejacking and proposes a clip toaster that can effectively defend it. When programming, developers often copy and paste code from GitHub, Stack Overflow, or blogs. Pastejacking is an attack that injects malicious data into the clipboard when a user copies code posted on the web, resulting in security threats by executing malicious commands that the user does not intend or by inserting dangerous code snippets into the software. In this paper, we propose clip toaster to visualize and alertusers of threats to defend pastejacking that threatens the security of the developer's terminal and program code. Clip Toaster can visualize security threat notifications and effectively detect and respond to attacks without interfering with user actions.
