Abstract

Cybersecurity threats from malware attacks has become one of the most serious issues in the Internet nowadays. Most types of malware, after intruding an individual computer, attempt to connect the corresponding Command and Control (C&C) servers using IP addresses or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) and receive further instructions (e.g. attacking target IP addresses and FQDNs) from them in order to conduct subsequent cyber attacks. In recent years, it has been clarified that DNS traffic has been used for communication between the malware infection computers and the C&C servers. In this research, we focus on these peculiarities and propose a method for detecting malware infected computers by monitoring unintended DNS traffic on wireless networks by collaboration with DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. By deploying the proposed system on campus wireless networks, the computers within DHCP configured environment can be detected when they are infected by some types of malware and it attempts to communicate with the corresponding C&C servers using DNS (Domain Name System) protocol. In this paper, we describe the detailed design of the proposed method and the future work includes prototype implementation as well as evaluations.
无线网络中监控非预期DNS流量的异常检测
来自恶意软件攻击的网络安全威胁已成为当今互联网最严重的问题之一。大多数类型的恶意软件在入侵个人计算机后,会尝试使用IP地址或完全限定域名(FQDN)连接相应的命令和控制(C&C)服务器,并从它们那里接收进一步的指令(例如攻击目标IP地址和FQDN),以便进行后续的网络攻击。近年来,已经澄清了DNS流量用于恶意软件感染计算机与C&C服务器之间的通信。在本研究中,我们关注这些特性,并提出了一种通过与DHCP(动态主机配置协议)服务器协作监测无线网络上意外DNS流量来检测恶意软件感染计算机的方法。通过将该系统部署在校园无线网络中,可以检测到DHCP配置环境中的计算机被某些类型的恶意软件感染,并尝试使用DNS(域名系统)协议与相应的C&C服务器进行通信。在本文中,我们描述了所提出的方法的详细设计和未来的工作包括原型实现和评估。
