The development of Internet

A cow was lost in Jan 14th 2003. If you know where it is, please contact with me. My QQ number is 87881405.
QQ is one of the most popular IM in China.

DDOS

Hacking case: HOW?

 The following intrusion methods increased rapidly in recent year and became one of the major intrusion technology
 Large-scale intrusion by exploiting

vulnerability of client software  Large-scale intrusion by decoying users to install malicious code through P2P, IM, Email network

Case example
 A virus on QQ (a most popular IM) were created to spread malware in order to creat an IRC botnet: 60,000 hosts were infected. Wi.ourmid.com Please visit

Those who dont know a lot about technology make profit by damage the network security directly. Those who know technology make profit by selling technology.

Buy(download) exploit code and malicious code from other one Buy victim hosts from other one

Master intrusion technlolgy by themselves Physical access

Hacking without knowledge of technology

Case example: Netbank accounts stealing

 Case outline:
 In August, a malicious code were widely distributed and more than 300

Netbank accounts were stolen.  The suspect intruded into a website and put malicious code on the main webpage.  When users browsing the website, the malicious code will be installed automatically onto the users hosts.  The malicious code will steal all kind of Netbank accounts and post onto another website hacked by the suspect.

 However:
 The suspect know nothing about hacking technology.  The suspect bought the malicious code and victim websites totally

from other hackers.  The suspect only working step by step according to the manual provided by other hackers.

Hacking cases: WHY?

50 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 other For fun, for name. Making profit by extortion, stealing file,free international phone call,etc Online demonatration Identity theft(Online game, netbank,stock)

Hacking cases: WHERE? How did they connected to Internet?

70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 2004 2005 DDN or ADSL Net caf Wireless connection

Mobile/Wireless crime increased at the same time.

Hacking cases: TARGET?

Personal computers become the major part of victim in computer crime in recent year.

Personal Public Commercial Educational Governmental Other

Preference of hackers
Damage to Internet Security Small damage Less profit. (Newbie) Small Damage More Profit (Experienced hacker) Severe damage Less profit. ( Exploit buyer) Severe damage More profit. (Almost none)

Profit

Why did they become criminal?

 They think:
 Its not a crime, its just a game.  A lot of people do it on Internet, so I can do it.  I know its a crime, but I need money.  I can hide myself very well.  No one will investigate it.

What we learn from these data

 Computer crime and traditional crime are intermingle with each other.
 XSS vulnerability with phishing  DDOS/IRC botnet with extortion 

 Current protection technology have not successfully protect against following attack yet.
    

Sql injection XSS Distribute malware over P2P/IM network Social engineering

What we learn from these data

 Those who dont know a lot of technology cause most of the damage to Internet directly.
 Their major aim is to make profit by stealing

identity, Netbank account, online stock account, online game account etc.  Most of them dont realized that there activity cause severe damage to Internet security.

What we learn from these data

 Exploit/Malicious code seller is one of the most big threat to cyber security.
 Investigation of exploit and malicious code

should be emphasized by cyber police.

 Personal computer is becoming the major target of computer crime.

 Antivirus software will play a more important

role in cyber protection.

How can anti-virus industry help cyber police?

 Report to police authority before publishing the detail information about the malcode/virus
 We have investigate the source of several

virus this year.  However, the detail information about the virus were published and the suspect never access the related network resource anymore.  If you reporting to us beforehand, the source of most identity stealing malicious code can be revealed.

How can anti-virus industry help cyber police?

 Save the trail of virus.
 When we try to investigate a Botnet in 2003, we try to

trace the source of the malicious code.  However, malicious codes on a lot of victim hosts were killed by the anti-virus software.

 For example, save the following information

 Time stamp  Hash value.  Etc.

How can anti-virus industry help cyber police?

 Compare the character of different kinds of virus in order to find out the virus produced by the same author.
 A criminal is not grown up in one day.  They always create more than one kind of

virus.

How can anti-virus industry help cyber police.

 Integrate basic forensic analysis function into antivirus software.
 For example, extract the automatic running program

list, there time stamp and hash value.  When the user report an incident to anti-virus company, you will get more chance to collect the malicious code.

 Integrate antivirus technology into popular P2P, IM, Email and WEB server.
 Just kill the malicious code on personal computer fail

to throttle the spread of malicious code.  The malicious code distributed through P2P, IM, Email and WEB server can hardly be monitored and throttled.

Game Over
Bye bye!
