Abstract:
Computer communication is done by first synchronizing one computer with another computer. This synchronization contains Data Packages which can be detrimental if done continuously, it will be categorized as an attack. This type of attack, when performed against a target by many computers, is called a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack. Technology and the Internet are growing rapidly, so many DDoS attack applications result in these attacks still being a serious threat. This research aims to apply the Threshold method in detecting DDoS attacks. The Threshold method is used to process numeric attributes so obtained from the logfile in a computer network so that data packages can be classified into 2, namely normal access and attack access. Classification results using the Threshold method after going through the fitting process, namely detecting 8 IP Addresses as computer network users and 6 IP addresses as perpetrators of DDoS attacks with optimal accuracy.

Abstract:
Computer network attacks differ in the motivation of the entity behind the attack, the execution and the end result. The diversity of attacks has the consequence that no standard classification exists. The benefit of automated classification of attacks, means that an attack could be mitigated accordingly. The authors extend a previous, initial taxonomy of computer network attacks which forms the basis of a proposed network attack ontology in this paper. The objective of this ontology is to automate the classification of a network attack during its early stages. Most published taxonomies present an attack from either the attacker's or defender's point of view. The authors’ taxonomy presents both these points of view. The framework for an ontology was developed using a core class, the “Attack Scenario”, which can be used to characterize and classify computer network attacks.

Abstract:
Advances in technology in the field of information technology services allow hackers to attack internet systems, one of which is the DDOS attack, more specifically, the smurf attack, which involves multiple computers attacking database server systems and File Transfer Protocol (FTP). The DDOS smurf attack significantly affects computer network traffic. This research will analyze the classification of machine learning Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Fuzzy Tsukamoto in detecting DDOS attacks using intensive simulations in analyzing computer networks. Classification techniques in machine learning, such as SVM and fuzzy Tsukamoto, can make it easier to distinguish computer network traffic when detecting DDOS attacks on servers. Three variables are used in this classification: the length of the packet, the number of packets, and the number of packet senders. By testing 51 times, 50 times is the DDOS attack trial dataset performed in a computer laboratory, and one dataset derived from DDOS attack data is CAIDA 2007 data. From this study, we obtained an analysis of the accuracy level of the classification of machine learning SVM and fuzzy Tsukamoto, each at 100%.

Abstract:
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is a type of active attack, an attack that can overwhelm a system by flooding a computer or server with network traffic, disrupting user services. The goal of this attack is usually to disable services and disconnect from the compromised­­­­­­­­ computer or network. The impact is very large for companies or agencies that offer services. Victims of these attacks are unable to provide the services they are supposed to. Due to a bug or constraint on the server you are trying to use and one of the ways to deal with these attacks is to use a computer network firewall, which is useful for protecting computers from various outer space attacks. If the computer has a firewall security system, it is likely that no one on the Internet can access the data on the connected computer or web server. Firewall, works like a partition or wall that blocks the computer from the Internet. This "firewall" allows you to control what data, information, and activity can be transferred from the Internet to your computer and vice versa. With better data security and can avoid DDOS attacks that want to be carried out by irresponsible parties.

Abstract:
Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is one of the technology to ensure the security of computers. IDS is an early detection system in the event of a computer network attack. The IDS will alert the computer network administrator in the event of a computer network attack. IDS also records all attempts and activities aimed at disrupting computer networks and other computer network attacks. The purpose of this study is to implement IDS on network systems and analyze IDS logs to determine the different types of computer network attacks. Logs on the IDS will be analyzed and will be used as leverage to improve computer network security. The research was carried out using the Network Forensic Investigation Framework proposed by Pilli, Joshi, and Niyogi. The stages of the Network Forensic Investigation Framework are used to perform network simulations, analysis, and investigations to determine the types of computer network attacks. The results show that the Network Forensic Investigation Framework facilitates the investigation process when a network attack occurs. The Network Forensic Investigation Framework is effectively used when the computer network has network security support applications such as IDS or others. IDS is effective in detecting network scanning activities and DOS attacks. IDS gives alerts to administrators because there are activities that violate the rules on the IDS.

Abstract:
Smurf attack belongs to popular Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack, and they can cause devastating impact on computer systems. Inspired by the principles of immune danger theory, a novel risk evaluation model, referred to as DTRESA, for smurf attacks is proposed in this paper. Within the presented model, dangerous smurf attacks are compared to bacterium (or virus) of the immune danger theory, which induce danger signal by simulating cellular distress or cell unnatural death; through immune recognition of artificial lymphocytes, the attacks are detected, and the attack risk is evaluated by calculating the danger signal of host computers. Simulation results and theoretical analysis show that the proposed model is feasible. Thus, it provides a novel solution to DoS detection and computer network security risk assessment.

Abstract:
Stealing attack against controlled information, along with the increasing number of information leakage incidents, has become an emerging cyber security threat in recent years. Due to the booming development and deployment of advanced analytics solutions, novel stealing attacks utilize machine learning (ML) algorithms to achieve high success rate and cause a lot of damage. Detecting and defending against such attacks is challenging and urgent so governments, organizations, and individuals should attach great importance to the ML-based stealing attacks. This survey presents the recent advances in this new type of attack and corresponding countermeasures. The ML-based stealing attack is reviewed in perspectives of three categories of targeted controlled information, including controlled user activities, controlled ML model-related information, and controlled authentication information. Recent publications are summarized to generalize an overarching attack methodology and to derive the limitations and future directions of ML-based stealing attacks. Furthermore, countermeasures are proposed towards developing effective protections from three aspects—detection, disruption, and isolation.

Abstract:

Computer systems are often analyzed as purely virtual artifacts, a collection of software operating on a Platonic ideal of a computer. When software is executed, it runs on actual hardware: an increasingly complex web of analog physical components and processes, cleverly strung together to present an illusion of pure computation. When an abstract software system is combined with individual hardware instances to form functioning systems, the overall behavior varies subtly with the hardware. These minor variations can change the security and privacy guarantees of the entire system, in both beneficial and harmful ways. We examine several such security effects in this dissertation.

First, we look at the fingerprinting capability of JavaScript and HTML5: when invoking existing features of modern browsers, such as JavaScript execution and 3-D graphics, how are the results affected by underlying hardware, and how distinctive is the resulting fingerprint?

Second, we discuss AES side channel timing attacks, a technique to extract information from AES encryption running on hardware. We present several reasons why we were unable to reproduce this attack against modern hardware and a modern browser.

Third, we examine positive uses of hardware variance: namely, seeding Linux's pseudorandom number generator at kernel initialization time with true entropy gathered during early boot. We examine the utility of these techniques on a variety of embedded devices, and give estimates for the amount of entropy each can generate.

Lastly, we evaluate a cyberphysical system: one which combines physical processes and analog sensors with software control and interpretation. Specifically, we examine the Rapiscan Secure~1000 backscatter X-ray full-body scanner, a device for looking under a scan subject's clothing, discovering any contraband secreted about their person. We present a full security analysis of this system, including its hardware, software, and underlying physics, and show how an adaptive, motivated adversary can completely subvert the scan to smuggle contraband, such as knives, firearms, and plastic explosives, past a Secure~1000 checkpoint. These attacks are entirely based upon understanding the physical processes and sensors which underlie this cyberphysical system, and involve adjusting the contraband's location and shape until it simply disappears.

Abstract:
With the transition from traditional media and the increasing number of digital devices, the threats against digital infrastructure is greater than ever before. New and stricter security requirements are placed on digital platform in order to protect sensitive information against external cyber threats. Threat modeling is a process which involves identifying threats and weakness of a system with the purpose of eliminating vulnerabilities before they are exploited. The Meta Attack Language is a probabilistic threat modeling language which allows security researchers to instantiate specific attack scenarios through the use of attack simulations. Currently there is no support for gathering coverage data from these simulations other than manually checking the compromised state of all objects present in a simulation. The purpose of this work is to develop a coverage extension in order to simplify the threat modeling process. The coverage extension is able to produce coverage estimates from attack simulations executed on specific Meta Attack Language threat models. These metrics are adaptations of existing code- and model coverage metrics commonly used for software- and model testing. There are limitations in what type of data can be effectively presented (such as for exponentially growing data sets) due to the simplicity of the models.
Övergången från traditionella medier till digitala plattformar har lett till en ökad hotbild mot digital infrastruktur. Vikten av att designa säkra plattformar och enheter för att skydda känslig information har lett till framkomsten av nya strängare säkerhetskrav. Hotmodellering är en process med syfte att förebygga att svagheter i ett system utnyttjas av externa parter genom att identifiera brister i systemet. Meta Attack Language är ett hotmodelleringsspråk med stöd för simulering av specifika attack scenarion genom attacksimuleringar. I nuläget finns inget stöd för insamling av täckningsdata från dessa simuleringar. Syftet med detta arbete är att utveckla en tilläggstjänst för insamling av täckningsdata i syfte att underlätta hotmodelleringsprocessen. Den utvecklade tillägstjänsten kan ge en uppskattning av hur väl en modell täcks av en mängd simuleringar. Täckningsvärderna som används av tilläggstjänsten är anpassningar av befintliga mätvärden som används inom uppskattning av källkods- och modelltäckning. Nuvarande implementation har ett flertal begränsningar gällande presentationen av viss typ av data, till exempel exponentiellt växande mätvärden. Detta beror på att modellerna inte är anpassade för denna typ av testning.

Abstract:
Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) is the most recent generation of Internet protocol. The transition from the current Internet Version 4 (IPv4) to IPv6 raised new issues and the most crucial issue is security vulnerabilities. Most vulnerabilities are common between IPv4 and IPv6, e.g. Evasion attack, Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) and Fragmentation attack. According to the IPv6 RFC (Request for Comment) recommendations, there are potential attacks against various Operating Systems. Discrepancies between the behaviour of several Operating Systems can lead to Intrusion Detection System (IDS) evasion, Firewall evasion, Operating System fingerprint, Network Mapping, DoS/DDoS attack and Remote code execution attack. We investigated some of the security issues on IPv6 by reviewing existing solutions and methods and performed tests on two open source Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDSs) which are Snort and Suricata against some of IPv6 evasions and attack methods. The results show that both NIDSs are unable to detect most of the methods that are used to evade detection. This thesis presents a detection framework specifically developed for IPv6 network to detect evasion, insertion and DoS attacks when using IPv6 Extension Headers and Fragmentation. We implemented the proposed theoretical solution into a proposed framework for evaluation tests. To develop the framework, "dpkt" module is employed to capture and decode the packet. During the development phase, a bug on the module used to parse/decode packets has been found and a patch provided for the module to decode the IPv6 packet correctly. The standard unpack function included in the "ip6" section of the "dpkt" package follows extension headers which means following its parsing, one has no access to all the extension headers in their original order. By defining, a new field called all_extension_headers and adding each header to it before it is moved along allows us to have access to all the extension headers while keeping the original parse speed of the framework virtually untouched. The extra memory footprint from this is also negligible as it will be a linear fraction of the size of the whole set of packet. By decoding the packet, extracting data from packet and evaluating the data with user-defined value, the proposed framework is able to detect IPv6 Evasion, Insertion and DoS attacks. The proposed framework consists of four layers. The first layer captures the network traffic and passes it to second layer for packet decoding which is the most important part of the detection process. It is because, if NIDS could not decode and extract the packet content, it would not be able to pass correct information into the Detection Engine process for detection. Once the packet has been decoded by the decoding process, the decoded packet will be sent to the third layer which is the brain of the proposed solution to make a decision by evaluating the information with the defined value to see whether the packet is threatened or not. This layer is called the Detection Engine. Once the packet(s) has been examined by detection processes, the result will be sent to output layer. If the packet matches with a type or signature that system admin chose, it raises an alarm and automatically logs all details of the packet and saves it for system admin for further investigation. We evaluated the proposed framework and its subsequent process via numerous experiments. The results of these conclude that the proposed framework, called NOPO framework, is able to offer better detection in terms of accuracy, with a more accurate packet decoding process, and reduced resources usage compared to both exciting NIDs.

Abstract:
One of the most popular attack vectors against computers are their network connections. Attacks on computers through their networks are commonplace and have various levels of complexity. This research formally describes network-based computer attacks in the form of a story, formally and within an ontology. The ontology categorises network attacks where attack scenarios are the focal class. This class consists of: Denial-of- Service, Industrial Espionage, Web Defacement, Unauthorised Data Access, Financial Theft, Industrial Sabotage, Cyber-Warfare, Resource Theft, System Compromise, and Runaway Malware. This ontology was developed by building a taxonomy and a temporal network attack model. Network attack instances (also know as individuals) are classified according to their respective attack scenarios, with the use of an automated reasoner within the ontology. The automated reasoner deductions are verified formally; and via the automated reasoner, a relaxed set of scenarios is determined, which is relevant in a near real-time environment. A prototype system (called Aeneas) was developed to classify network-based attacks. Aeneas integrates the sensors into a detection system that can classify network attacks in a near real-time environment. To verify the ontology and the prototype Aeneas, a virtual test bed was developed in which network-based attacks were generated to verify the detection system. Aeneas was able to detect incoming attacks and classify them according to their scenario. The novel part of this research is the attack scenarios that are described in the form of a story, as well as formally and in an ontology. The ontology is used in a novel way to determine to which class attack instances belong and how the network attack ontology is affected in a near real-time environment.

Abstract:
Modern processors use architecture like caches, branch predictors, and speculative execution in order to maximize computation throughput. For instance, recently accessed memory can be stored in a cache so that subsequent accesses take less time. Unfortunately microarchitecture-based side channel attacks can utilize this cache property to enable unauthorized memory accesses. The Spectre attack is a recent example of this attack. The Spectre attack is particularly dangerous because the vulnerabilities that it exploits are found in microprocessors used in billions of current systems. It involves the attacker inducing a victim’s process to speculatively execute code with a malicious input and store the recently accessed memory into the cache. This paper describes the previous microarchitecture side channel attacks. It then describes the three variants of the Spectre attack. It describes and evaluates proposed defenses against Spectre.

Abstract:

In recent years, we have witnessed a rise in quantity and sophistication of cyber attacks. Meanwhile, traditional defense techniques have not been adequate in addressing this status quo. This is because the focus has remained mostly on either identifying and patching exploits, or detecting and filtering them. These techniques are only effective when intrusions are known or detectable. However, unknown (zero-day) vulnerabilities are constantly being discovered, and known vulnerabilities are not often patched promptly. Even worse, while defenders need to patch all vulnerabilities and intrusions paths against unknown malicious entities, the attackers only need to discover only one successful intrusion path in a system that is known and static. These asymmetric advantages have constantly kept attackers one step ahead of defenders.

To reverse this asymmetry in cyber warfare, we aim to propose new proactive defense paradigms that can deter or deceive cyber attackers without relying on intrusion detection and prevention and by offering cyber agility as a system property. Cyber agility allows for system configuration to be changed dynamically without jeopardizing operational and mission requirements of the system. In this thesis, we introduce two novel cyber agility techniques based on two paradigms of cyber deterrence and cyber deception. Cyber deterrence techniques aim to deter cyber threats by changing system configurations randomly and frequently. In contrast, cyber deception techniques aim to deflect attacks to fake targets by misrepresenting system configurations strategically and adaptively.

In the first part of this dissertation, we propose a multi-strategy, multi-parameter and multi-dimensional host identity mutation technique for deterring reconnaissance attacks. This deterrence is achieved by mutating IP addresses and anonymizing fingerprints of network hosts both proactively and adaptively. Through simulation and analytical investigation, we show that our approach significantly increases the attack cost for coordinated scanning worms, advanced network reconnaissance techniques, and multi-stage APT attacks.

In the second part, we propose a formal framework to construct active cyber deception plans that are goal-oriented and dynamic. Our framework introduces a deception logic that models consistencies and conflicts among various deception strategies (e.g., lies) and quantifies the benefit and cost of potential deception plans.

In the third part, we demonstrate and evaluate our deception planning framework by constructing an effective deception plan against multi-stage attacks. Through our experimentation, we show that the generated deception plans are effective and economical, and outperform existing or random deception plans.

Abstract:
Publishing data that contains information about individuals may lead to privacy breaches. However, data publishing is useful to support research and analysis. Therefore, privacy protection in data publishing becomes important and has received much recent attention. To improve privacy protection, many researchers have investigated how secure the published data is by designing de-anonymisation methods to attack anonymised data. Most of the de-anonymisation methods consider anonymised data in a syntactic manner. That is, items in a dataset are considered to be contextless or even meaningless literals, and they have not considered the semantics of these data items. In this thesis, we investigate how secure the anonymised data is under attacks that use semantic information. More specifically, we propose a de-anonymisation method to attack transaction data anonymised by set-based generalisation. Set-based generalisation protects data by replacing one item by a set of items, so that the identity of an individual can be hidden. Our goal is to identify those items that are added to a transaction during generalisation. Our attacking method has two components: scoring and elimination. Scoring measures semantic relationship between items in a transaction, and elimination removes items that are deemed not to be in the original transaction. Our experiments on both real and synthetic data show that set-based generalisation may not provide adequate protection for transaction data, and about 70% of the items added to the transactions during generalisation can be detected by our method with a precision greater than 85%.

Abstract:
This poster presents how a disconnected computer, that has no network access, can be attacked to retrieve data. Air-gapped devices are thought to be an impenetrable setup because the device is disconnected from the network and cannot be reached by an attacker. Therefore, an infected airgapped computer cannot affect others around it preventing any potential information leaks. People believe/assume that leaking information from an air-gapped machine is impossible. This research effort invalidates this assumption by exploring possible covert channels to get data from victim machines. We take advantage of a hidden acoustic channel that employs the computer speakers and a tiny audio recording device to communicate sensitive data over inaudible near-ultrasonic signals. Data stored on this device can then be processed and displayed as useful information on the attacker’s computer. Hacking methods and the search for new system exploits are being continuously developed and new techniques to obtain data unlawfully are on the rise. Therefore, this work alerts organizations regarding potential threats that they typically ignore by assuming that air-gapped systems are safe. In the past, security researchers have not devoted sufficient time and effort to innovate counter measures for such niche but capable attacks. Spreading awareness is one of the main objectives of this project. This is done by demonstrating that data can be stolen from an ‘air-gapped’ computer, by using methods that people neglect to consider when coming up with plans to protect their computers from attackers. An experiment, such as this, will hopefully push the security field researchers and developers to explore the uncommon methods of unlawful data acquisition and their prevention.
