Example text

System Information Leak. Revealing system data or debugging information helps an adversary learn about the system and form an attack plan. • Trust Boundary Violation. Commingling trusted and untrusted data in the same data structure encourages programmers to mistakenly trust unvalidated data. NET Misconfiguration: Creating Debug Binary. Debugging messages help attakers learn about the system and plan a form of attack. NET Misconfiguration: Missing Custom Error Handling. NET application must enable custom error pages to prevent attackers from mining information from the framework's built-in responses.

For example, a botnet running crimeware can simulate user visitation of web pages and clicking on advertisements, for which the attacker collects payment. Click fraud is discussed in more detail in Chapter 11. 5. Data Ransoming The term ransomware refers to crimeware that renders a compromised computer's data unusable, with the attacker subsequently offering to restore use of the data for a fee. Typically, ransomware achieves this aim by encrypting data on a hard drive, with decryption following if the data's owner pays the ransom.

Often, such software will be polymorphically packed, meaning that some obfuscating transformation will be applied to the involved (binary) files to evade simple signature-based detection by antivirus and anti-malware vendors. In response, some antivirus vendors have developed technologies geared toward behavior-based detection of malicious code [380]. As mentioned earlier, the presence of crimeware can be further obscured by the use of a rootkit, which hides the crimeware to evade detection. Rootkits generally require administrative privileges to install, and they can run in several different ways: • User-mode rootkits replace administrative applications that can monitor system activities with analogous applications that do not report the presence of the crimeware.
