Computer Security Articles

I just returned from the RSA Conference in San Francisco where the focus was on cloud security, identity theft, data protection, and online fraud prevention. The Expo floor was busy, with lots of foot traffic and a higher-than-expected level of energy. Especially from the guy who escaped a straightjacket while balancing atop a high-rise unicycle and pitching a security product. We all have to multi-task.

More than half of my meetings were in hotel suites and other locations away from the Moscone Center. Power-walking between venues, it took me a while to realize that the biz-hipsters in hair gel and rock-star sunglasses were not the new wave in computer security–they were from the AdTech conference in the Moscone Center West. Yes, geeks, infosec is still in our hands.

The “gubment” was there–in the towering National Security Agency booth/condo. They could neither confirm nor deny jamming my iPhone.

More seriously, Defense Secretary Robert Gates was interviewed during the week on CBS News about cyber-spying. It’s worth noting that the same basic techniques are used by spies stealing government secrets and crimeware operators stealing consumer identities. If the government cannot stop spies from stealing secret plans for our latest fighter planes or infiltrating presidential campaigns, what chance do ordinary citizens have protecting their bank accounts?

I’d like to thank Neil Rubenking, PC Magazine Lead Analyst and AppScout contributor, for taking the time to meet with us, talk about SafeCentral 2.0 and post his observations on AppScout.

Clip 7/7 Speaker: Nguyen Anh Quynh (Researcher, Japan National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology) This talk presents eKimono, a new malware scanner for Virtual Machine (VM). By putting eKimono outside of the protected VM, we can fix, or raise the bar in other cases, the most significant flaws in the legacy anti-malware solutions. Advantages offered by our scanner include, but not limited to, the followings: firstly, eKimono is tamper-resistant against malware inside VM, even if the malware compromises the VMs kernel. Secondly, it is harder to be fooled, because eKimono does not rely on the services provided by VM. Last, but not least, our scanner is invisible from VM, so that malware inside never know that they are being monitored. The architecture and implementation of eKimono will be discussed in length. We will show how our scanner easily supports hypervisors like Xen, KVM and QEMU out-of-the-box. The talk will also demonstrate that it is trivial to support other types of VM, such as VMWare, thanks to its extremely flexible design. Technically, eKimono is a top component of a multiple framework architecture. The talk analyses all the layers and explains how we solve challenges in designing and implementing eKimono. The extended application of the below layers is also examined to prove that our frameworks are not just useful for eKimono, but can also be the base to create many new tools, such as such as live memory forensic and VM administration …

Speaker: Georg Wicherski The increasing amount of new malware each day does not only put anti-virus companies up to new limits handling these samples for detection by creating new signatures. But also for network security providers and administrators, getting information on how samples affect the networks they try to protect is an increasing problem. Dynamic analysis of malware by execution in sandboxes has been an approach that has been successfully applied in both of these problem scenarios, however classic sandbox approaches clearly suffer from severe scalability problems. Most of these rely on setting up a real target system such as the Windows XP operating system as a virtual machine with additional software that does logging of performed actions. While these are easy to develop and set up, they require a separate virtual machine instance for each malware sample to be analyzed and therefore do not scale up with today’s requirements in terms of malware growth. Anti-Virus vendors tried to circumvent performance issues for file analysis by developing custom emulators that can be deployed on a customer end-host for detection and do not require a whole operating system inside a virtual machine. These emulators however often are software interpreters for the x86 instruction set and run therefore into execution speed limitations on their own. Additionally, they suffer from detectability because they try to emulate every single Windows API but suffer from accuracy issues …
