Description

  The present invention relates to detection of a malicious program that propagates from one terminal to another terminal in a network in which a plurality of terminals are connected.

  There is a malicious program called worm for the purpose of self-replication. Worms spread using file sharing on network and network applications. When using file sharing, it grows as follows. First, a terminal infected with a worm searches for other terminals on the network that can share files. If there is something that can be shared, write the worm to a shared folder. Then, the setting of the terminal in which the worm is written is changed so that the worm moves upon restart.

  When using network applications, it proliferates as follows. First, a terminal infected with a worm searches for a network application server such as WWW or SQL. It then gains access to the vulnerability of the server, effectively controls it remotely, and infects terminals on the network with worms.

  As a countermeasure against such a worm, a method described in Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-072371 is considered. In the method described in Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-072371, a decoy of a shared file type is provided at a terminal on the network, the worm is attacked by the worm, and the worm is detected.

  On the other hand, with respect to various fraudulent acts such as computer viruses and junk mail, a countermeasure is taken in which virus check software is installed in each terminal. Furthermore, Patent Document 1 proposes the following method. First, the router once transfers the data received from the information communication apparatus that performs data communication to the security server. After checking the computer virus or the like, the server transmits the checked data to the data destination.

JP 2002-358253 A

  The terminal that is the source of the worm (hereinafter referred to as the infection source) often does not have virus check software installed and cannot detect the infection. Therefore, there is a problem that the network administrator cannot stop the infection unless the source of the infection is specified. However, in the method described in Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-072371, it is possible to detect that the network is infected with a worm, but it is difficult to specify the infection source in the following cases.

  That is, in a network having a DHCP server that dynamically assigns an IP address, even if the network administrator can specify the IP address of the infection source, the DHCP server has already assigned the IP address to a terminal other than the infection source. May be assigned. Therefore, the administrator cannot identify the terminal as an infection source simply because the IP addresses match.

  With the method of Patent Document 1, it is possible to detect a virus even if a terminal on which no virus check software is installed exists on the network. However, unless data communication is performed via a data relay device that relays data transmission in a network such as a router, data cannot be transferred to the security server, and there is a problem that virus checking cannot be performed. Furthermore, if data transmission between terminals is frequent, there is a problem that the load on the security server increases.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and is a system that supports detection of a worm by monitoring a network and acquiring and extracting information for specifying a worm infection source. The purpose is to provide.

The detection support system of the present invention that solves at least a part of the above problems is
A detection support system that supports detection of a worm that is a malicious program that propagates from the terminal to the terminal in a network to which a plurality of terminals are connected,
A terminal information management unit that dynamically acquires a variable address dynamically allocated to the terminal and terminal information that is unique to the terminal at a predetermined timing and manages the information in time series;
A communication information acquisition unit for acquiring communication information that is information related to communication data transmitted by the terminal, and that is information including a transmission source address represented by the variable address for the communication data;
A determination unit for determining whether any of the terminals is transmitting the worm according to the communication information;
A terminal information extraction unit for extracting, from the terminal information management unit, terminal information in which the variable address corresponds to a transmission source address of the worm when the determination unit determines that the worm is transmitted. It is characterized by that.

  In a network system in which a plurality of terminals are connected, as described above, a variable address such as an IP address that is not necessarily unique to the terminal may be used, and the terminal itself is uniquely identified only by this variable address. There are quite a few cases where you can't. According to the present invention, the variable address and the terminal information are repeatedly acquired and managed in association with each other, so that the worm is transmitted based on the source address of the worm represented by the variable address. It is possible to extract terminal information of possible terminals.

  That is, it is possible to obtain a history of terminal information assigned to the source address from the source address of the worm. Such a history of terminal information can be used as information for specifying an infection source.

  The variable address may be assigned to another terminal if the time zone is different, and if depending on the source address alone, a plurality of terminals may be extracted as suspicious terminals. If the date and time of transmission of the worm is known, it is also possible to specify the terminal information of a terminal that is further suspected as an infection source from such terminal information. For example, if the transmission date and time of communication data is included in the communication information, the terminal information extraction unit extracts the terminal information based on the transmission source address and the transmission date and time, so that the terminal information of the terminal that is further suspected as an infection source Can be extracted. At the time of extraction, terminal information acquired at the date and time closest to the transmission date and time may be extracted.

  The terminal information unique to the terminal includes identification information uniquely assigned to the terminal by a company, user information of a user who uses the terminal, a MAC address of a network interface card provided in the terminal, and the like. When the installation location of the terminal is fixed, the installation location may be used as terminal information. Such terminal information makes it possible to identify a terminal and contact a user or the like who uses the terminal. The extracted terminal information may be transmitted as information that can identify the infection source to a management server that manages the network, a device that has a function of identifying the infection source, or the like.

  Information managed by the terminal information management unit can also be used after the infection source is identified. For example, based on the terminal information of the infection source, the history of the variable address of the terminal can be extracted from the terminal information management unit. The history of the variable address can be effectively used for specifying the infection route of the worm with respect to the infection source and examining the possibility of secondary infection from the infection source. The history of the extracted variable address may be transmitted to a management server that manages the network, or may be transmitted to a device having a function of disconnecting the infection source from the network.

  The terminal information management unit obtains terminal information that is unique to the terminal, fluctuation information that is information that fluctuates at the terminal, such as the terminal installation location and user information, and associates the fluctuation information with the terminal information. You may manage by series. The user who uses the terminal may vary. Thereby, based on the terminal information of the infection source, it is possible to obtain useful information such as the place and user used at the time of infection.

  The terminal information may be acquired periodically, or may be acquired while changing the time interval from acquisition to acquisition.

The terminal information management unit of the detection support system described above,
A transmission request unit that requests the terminal to transmit the variable address and the terminal information;
The variable address that is transmitted in response to the request and a receiving unit that receives the terminal information may be provided.

  As a result, the variable address and the terminal information can be acquired via the network. The transmission request unit may request transmission of the variable address and terminal information to a plurality of terminals on the network all at once, or may sequentially request transmission to each terminal.

The communication information in the detection support system described above includes a destination address represented by the variable address for the communication data,
The terminal information extraction unit may extract terminal information whose variable address corresponds to the destination address of the worm from the terminal information management unit.

  In this way, terminal information of a terminal that may have received the worm can be extracted based on the destination address of the worm represented by the variable address. That is, a history of terminal information to which the destination address is assigned can be obtained from the destination address of the worm. Such terminal information history can be used as information on worm infection.

  The variable address may be assigned to another terminal if the time zone is different, and if depending on only the destination address, a plurality of terminals may be extracted as suspicious terminals. If the transmission date and time of the worm is known, it is also possible to specify the terminal information of the terminal that is further suspicious as the terminal that received the worm from such terminal information.

  The extracted terminal information may be transmitted to a management server that manages the network as information that can identify the terminal that has received the worm. This is because the terminal that has received the worm is also likely to have been infected with the worm, and the network administrator needs to respond appropriately to such a terminal.

  The information managed by the terminal information management unit can also be used as information about the terminal that has received the worm even after the terminal that has received the worm has been identified.

  The terminal information may be acquired periodically, or may be acquired while changing the time interval from acquisition to acquisition.

The monitor system of the present invention that solves at least a part of the above problems is as follows.
A monitor system for monitoring a worm that is a malicious program that propagates from the terminal to the terminal in a network to which a plurality of terminals are connected,
A communication acquisition unit that acquires communication data transmitted by the terminal, a transmission source address of the communication data, and a destination address of the communication data;
A holding unit holding the pattern file of the worm;
Based on the pattern file, an immediate determination unit for determining whether or not the worm is included in the communication data;
A communication history management unit that manages at least the transmission source address and the destination address acquired by the communication acquisition unit as transmission / reception information in time series;
A history discriminating unit that repeats at a predetermined timing, based on the transmission / reception information managed by the communication history management unit, whether or not a predetermined terminal is transmitting the worm. Features.

  There are two worm monitoring methods: monitoring the content of communication data and monitoring the communication history. Monitoring the contents of communication data has the disadvantage of requiring a worm pattern file, but it also has the advantage of early discovery of the worm. On the other hand, monitoring of communication history has the disadvantage that worm detection is slow, but there is also an advantage that worm monitoring is possible even without a worm pattern file. In the present invention, the content of the communication data is monitored by the immediate discriminating unit, and the history of the communication is monitored by the history discriminating unit, whereby the monitoring of the content of the communication data and the monitoring of the communication history are used together. In the present invention, the combined use makes it possible to compensate for these drawbacks and stably monitor the worm.

  The history determination unit may perform the determination periodically, or may perform the determination while changing the time interval from determination to determination. The device that has the function of identifying the infection source using the transmission source address of the communication data determined to contain the worm as the information that can identify the infection source of the worm by the determination of the immediate determination unit or the history determination unit It may be output. Alternatively, at least part of communication data transmission / reception information including a worm and at least part of illegal data transmission / reception information may be output.

The above monitoring system is
The history determination unit may include a history extraction unit that extracts the transmission / reception information related to communication data transmitted from the same terminal as the transmission / reception information used for the determination from the communication history management unit based on the transmission source address. good.

  In this way, it is possible to determine whether or not the terminal is transmitting illegal data based on transmission / reception information regarding communication data transmitted from one terminal.

The history determination unit of the monitoring system described above determines that the same terminal is transmitting the worm when the communication data is transmitted a predetermined number of times to a destination address that does not exist in the network. You can do it,
The history discriminating unit discriminates that the same terminal is transmitting the worm when the communication data is transmitted a predetermined number of times or more while changing the destination address based on a predetermined rule. You can do it,
The communication history management unit manages at least one of a protocol used for transmission / reception of the communication data and a destination port number of the communication data,
The history determination unit may determine that the worm is transmitted when a predetermined terminal transmits the communication data with a predetermined protocol or a predetermined destination port number.

  As a result, it is possible to determine that a terminal that is supposed to be infected with such a worm is transmitting illegal data.

  The predetermined rule described above may be a rule that sets destination addresses of communication data at regular intervals.

  The present invention can be configured as an invention of a detection support method and a monitor method in addition to the above-described configuration as a detection support system and a monitor system. Further, the present invention can be realized in various modes such as a computer program that realizes these, a recording medium that records the program, and a data signal that includes the program and is embodied in a carrier wave. In addition, in each aspect, it is possible to apply the various additional elements shown above.

  When the present invention is configured as a computer program or a recording medium on which the program is recorded, the entire program for controlling the operation of the detection support system or the monitor system may be configured, or a part that performs the functions of the present invention. It is good also as what comprises only. The recording medium includes a flexible disk, a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, a magneto-optical disk, an IC card, a ROM cartridge, a punch card, a printed matter on which a code such as a barcode is printed, a computer internal storage device (RAM or Various types of computer-readable media such as a memory such as a ROM and an external storage device can be used.

A. Example:
A1. overall structure:
FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an outline of a detection support system as an embodiment. The detection support system includes a monitor system 20a, an IP node scope 25a, and a management server 47, which are connected via a network.

  The IP node scope 25a periodically collects information on terminals in the LAN to which the detection support system is applied. The terminal information includes the IP address of the terminal, the installation location, user information, the MAC address of the network interface card provided in the terminal, and the like. That is, the IP node scope 25a monitors the LAN configuration. The monitor system 20a monitors communication between terminals in the LAN, and reports to the management server 47 when a worm is detected in the communication. The management server 47 is a server used by a LAN administrator for LAN management, and receives and displays a report from the monitor system 20a. The administrator sees this display and responds.

  In the example of FIG. 1, the IP node scope 25a collects terminal information of the user terminals 30a and 30b on the network every predetermined time. In the example of FIG. 1, the monitor system 20a monitors the communication between the user terminals 30a and 30b, and when the monitoring system 20a detects a worm in the communication between the user terminals 30a and 30b (see “1. Detection of FIG. 1). The monitoring system 20a requests the IP node scope 25a to transmit terminal information.

  Upon receiving the terminal information transmission request, the IP node scope 25a transmits the terminal information to the monitor system 20a ("2. Terminal information transmission" in FIG. 1). The monitor system 20a transmits the detected content and the terminal information received from the IP node scope 25a to the management server 47 as alert information (“3. Report” in FIG. 1).

  The alert information includes “ID / name” of the monitor system 20a, “date and time” when the monitor system 20a detects the worm, and information on the user terminal 30a that is the transmission source of the worm and the user terminal 30b that is the transmission destination of the worm. ing. Information regarding the transmission source and the transmission destination includes “installation location”, “IP address”, “protocol”, “port number”, “user information”, “MAC address”, and “terminal information collection history”.

  Among the information on the transmission source and the transmission destination, “protocol” and “port number” are information on communication information including the worm, and regarding “transmission destination”, the transmission protocol of transmission data, the transmission port, “transmission source” Indicates the reception protocol and reception port of the received data. Here, the communication information refers to information that is a combination of communication data that is data (for example, the body of an email) that the user actually wants to transmit, and information on “transmission destination” and “transmission source” of the communication data.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing a part of a LAN as an application example of the detection support system. A subnetwork sb1 and a subnetwork sb2 exist via the router 45a. A router 45b is also connected to the router 45a, and a plurality of terminals and network devices are further connected to the router 45b. DHCP servers 31a and 31c are provided in the sub-networks sb1 and sb2, respectively, and IP addresses are dynamically assigned to terminals in the sub-network. A DNS server 32 and a mail server 33 are also installed in the LAN.

  In the sub-networks sb1 and sb2, there are IP node scopes 25b and 25c, respectively, and user terminals 30a1, 30a2, 30b1, and 30c (hereinafter simply referred to as user terminals 30) and various servers in the sub-network to which they belong. Collect terminal information.

  One or more monitor systems 20b to 20e are installed in the same subnetwork. The monitor system 20e can monitor the content of communication via the repeater hub 35a. For example, communication information transmitted from the user terminal 30a1 to the user terminal 30a2 and communication information transmitted from the user terminal 30a2 to the switching hub 40a can be monitored. The monitor system 20b is connected to the monitor port of the switching hub 40a, and can monitor the contents of communication via the switching hub 40a. The monitor port is a port for monitoring communication via the switching hub provided in the switching hub. For example, communication information transmitted from the user terminal 30a1 to the user terminal 30b1 and communication information transmitted from the user terminal 30a2 to the router 45a can be monitored.

The monitor system 20c is connected to the monitor port p2 of the switching hub 40c, and can monitor the contents of communication via the switching hub 40c. For example, communication information transmitted from the user terminal 30c1 to the IP node scope 25c and communication information transmitted from the user terminal 30c1 to the router 45a can be monitored.
The monitor system 20d is connected to the router 45a and is set to be able to monitor communication via the router 45a. For example, communication information transmitted from the user terminal 30c1 to the user terminal 30b1 and communication information transmitted from the user terminal 30a1 to the router 45b can be monitored.

  The management server 47 is installed in the LAN and receives a report from the monitor system.

A2. Function block:
FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing functional blocks of the IP node scopes 25a to 25c (hereinafter simply referred to as the IP node scope 25). The IP node scope 25 is configured by installing software that realizes the following functions in a personal computer. Note that hardware that implements the following functions may be used, or a dedicated device may be prepared as the IP node scope 25.

  The transmission / reception unit 51 manages data transmission / reception with other terminals. The terminal information collection unit 52 requests terminal information connected to the subnetwork by broadcast and stores the received terminal information in a terminal information database (DB) 55. The terminal information extraction unit 54 extracts terminal information from the terminal information DB 55 in accordance with a request from the monitor systems 20 b to 20 e (hereinafter simply referred to as the monitor system 20), and transmits the terminal information to the monitor system 20. The network configuration DB 79 is a DB that stores information related to the IP node scope 25 and the monitor system 20 in the LAN. Details of the terminal information DB 55 and the network configuration DB 79 will be described later. The control unit 53 controls the operation of each function.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing functional blocks of the monitor system 20. The monitor system 20 is configured by installing software that realizes the following functions in a personal computer. Note that hardware that realizes the following functions may be used, or a dedicated device may be prepared as the monitor system 20.

  The transmission / reception unit 62 manages data transmission / reception with other terminals. When receiving the communication information, the communication content determination unit 65 determines whether or not a worm is included in the communication data included in the communication information. Specifically, the determination is made based on whether or not the worm pattern stored in the pattern file DB 75 is included in the communication data. Then, the terminal that transmitted the worm is stored in the infection source terminal DB 78 as the infection source terminal. If the flag called the immediate determination flag is turned off by the LAN administrator, the communication information is stored in the log DB 77.

  The monitor system 20 may receive an alert that a worm is present from a terminal in the LAN. When the immediate determination flag is OFF, the batch processing unit 61 determines whether or not a worm is included in the communication data in the communication information stored in the log DB 77 when an alert is received. Specifically, the determination is made based on whether or not the worm pattern stored in the pattern file DB 75 is included in the communication data. Then, the terminal that transmitted the worm is stored in the infection source terminal DB 78 as the infection source terminal.

  The history discriminating unit 59 is a terminal (hereinafter referred to as a suspected infected terminal) that is presumed to be infected with a worm based on the history information of the cross map DB 74 that stores information on the transmission source address and destination address of communication information. Is called). Then, the suspected infected terminal is stored in the infected source terminal DB 78 as an infected source terminal.

  The infection source identifying unit 60 identifies where the terminal stored in the infection source terminal DB 78 currently exists in the LAN by making an inquiry to the IP node scope 25. Then, the monitor system 20 that can disconnect the terminal of the infection source from the LAN is specified from the network configuration DB 79. Furthermore, a disconnection request is transmitted to the specified monitor system 20 so as to disconnect the terminal of the infection source from the LAN. The infection source identifying unit 60 also performs alert information reporting processing to the management server 47.

  When receiving the disconnection request, the communication disconnecting unit 64 disconnects the terminal of the infection source or the subnetwork itself to which the terminal of the infection source belongs from the LAN.

  The network device management unit 63 manages network devices specified in advance. For example, the switching system 40b in FIG. 2 manages the switching hub 40a, and the monitoring system 20d manages the router 45a. Management is performed by periodically collecting MIB values of network devices using protocols SNMP and RMON. The collected MIB values are stored in the network device DB 76. The control unit 58 controls the operation of each function.

A3. Database:
FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing the terminal information DB 55. The terminal information includes a “MAC address” of a network card provided in the terminal, an “IP address” of the terminal, “user information”, and “installation location”. “User information” and “installation location” are registered in advance in each terminal. The terminal information DB 55 stores the terminal information with the “date and time” when the terminal information is received from the terminal.

  Terminal information is collected every 4 hours by the IP node scope 25. Since there is a DHCP server in the LAN and the IP address of the terminal is dynamically assigned, even if the terminal information related to the same terminal is restarted, the IP address is changed after 4 hours There is a case. Also in the terminal information of FIG. 5, for example, the “IP address” of the terminal whose “MAC address” is “01: 23: 34: 56: 78: 93” has the “date and time” “2002.1.22.11:11”. : 12 "is" 192.168.10.1 ", but" Date & Time "is" 192.168.10.5 "when" 2002.22.15: 11: 12 ". Become.

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing the network configuration DB 79. In the IP node scope 25 and the monitor system 20, the IP address is statically set. In the network configuration DB 79, the IP address is registered. For example, “IP address” of the IP node scope 25b is displayed in the “IP node scope” column of “sb1”, and “IP address” of the IP node scope 25c is displayed in the “IP node scope” column of “sb2”. Is registered.

  As for the monitor system 20, “name / ID”, “disconnect flag”, and “IP address” are registered. “Name / ID” is the name of the monitor system 20. The “disconnection flag” is a flag indicating whether or not the terminal of the infection source can be disconnected from the network device. If the “disconnect flag” is “1”, the terminal of the infection source can be disconnected from the network device, and if “0”, it cannot be disconnected. That is, it is assumed that the port p1 and the port p3 in FIG. 2 can be disconnected from the monitor system 20b, but cannot be disconnected from the monitor system 20e. “IP address” is the IP address of the monitor system 20.

  In the “subnet mask”, subnet masks of the sub-networks sb1 and sb2 (hereinafter simply referred to as sub-network sb) are registered. In the “network number”, the network number of the subnetwork sb is registered. The “disconnected subnetwork” is information regarding the monitor system connected to the routers 45a and 45b (hereinafter simply referred to as the router 45), and indicates a subnetwork that can be disconnected by the monitor system. For example, the sub-networks sb1 and sb2 can be disconnected from the monitor system 20d by operating the router 45a. If there is no monitor system in the subnetwork sb that can disconnect the terminal of the infection source by operating the switching hubs 40a and 40c, the monitor system directly connected to the router, such as the monitor system 20d, Disconnect the network sb. In the “MAC address”, the MAC address of the router 45 is registered.

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing the cross map DB 74. The cross map DB 74 is a DB that stores information regarding the transmission source and the transmission destination. The "date and time" when the monitor system 20 received the communication information, the "MAC address" and "IP address" of the transmission source and destination, the "port number" and "protocol" of the communication data that can be read from the header of the communication information. Stored by the monitor system 20.

  7A shows the cross map DB 74 of the monitor system 20e, FIG. 7B shows the cross map DB 74 of the monitor system 20b, and FIG. 7C shows the cross map DB 74 of the monitor system 20d. .

  The monitor system 20e can receive communication information transmitted via the repeater hub 35a. For example, when the monitor system 20e receives communication information transmitted from the user terminal 30a1 to the user terminal 30a2, as shown in FIG. 7A, the “transmission source” includes the information of the user terminal 30a1 as “transmission destination”. ", Information of the user terminal 30a2 is stored.

  The monitor system 20b can receive communication information transmitted via the switching hub 40a, for example, communication information transmitted from the user terminal 30a1 to the user terminal 30b1. When such communication information is received, as shown in the first line of FIG. 7B, the information on the user terminal 30b1 is stored in the “transmission source” and the information on the user terminal 30b1 is displayed in the “transmission destination”. save.

  The monitor system 20b can also receive communication information transmitted from the subnetwork sb1 to the subnetwork sb2 and communication information transmitted from the subnetwork sb1 to the router 45b. For example, when the monitor system 20b receives communication information transmitted from the user terminal 30b1 to the mail server 33, information as shown in the second line of FIG. 7B is stored.

  When the monitor system 20b receives the communication information transmitted from the user terminal 30b1 to the mail server 33, the “MAC address” of “transmission destination” is the MAC address of the router 45a. Upon receiving this communication information, the router 45a rewrites the MAC address of the “transmission destination” in the communication information with the MAC address of the mail server 33, and rewrites the MAC address of the “transmission source” with the MAC address of the router 45a. Send to. Thereby, the communication information is transmitted to the mail server 33.

  The monitor system 20d can receive communication information transmitted via the router 45a. As described above, the router 45a rewrites the “MAC address” of “transmission source” and “transmission destination”, but the monitor system 20d receives both the communication information before rewriting the MAC address and the communication information after rewriting. Then, the “source” information is read from the communication information before rewriting and stored. On the other hand, the “destination” information is read from the rewritten communication information and stored.

  When the monitor system 20d receives the communication information transmitted from the mail server 33 to the user terminal 30a2, the data in the first line in FIG. 7C is saved, and the communication information transmitted from the user terminal 30b1 to the mail server 33. Is received, the data in the second row in FIG. 7C is stored. As the “date and time”, the date and time when the communication information before rewriting the MAC address is received is stored.

A4. processing:
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the terminal information storage process. This process is performed by the terminal information collection unit 52 of the IP node scope 25. When a predetermined time has elapsed since the previous terminal information storage process (step S1), the IP node scope 25 sends a terminal information transmission request to the terminals in the subnetwork sb to which the IP node scope 25 belongs (step S2). ). Then, the terminal information transmitted from each terminal is received in response to the terminal information transmission request (step S3) and stored in the terminal information DB 55. The predetermined time here is 4 hours.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing processing performed in the monitor system 20. When the monitor system 20 receives the communication information (step S12) and the immediate determination flag is ON (step S13), the monitor system 20 reads the information of “transmission source” and “transmission destination” from the header of the communication information, and the cross map DB 74. (Step S14).

  If the immediate determination flag is ON, it means that content determination is performed when communication information is received, and therefore content determination processing is performed (step S15). FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the content determination process. In the content determination process, it is determined whether or not a worm is included in the communication data (step S24). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the content of the worm pattern file stored in the pattern file DB 75 is included in the communication data.

  When the worm exists (step S26), the “MAC address” and “IP address” of the transmission source are stored in the infection source terminal DB 78. The “MAC address” of the transmission source may be a MAC address of the router 45 or the like.

  Returning again to FIG. When the immediate determination flag is OFF, content determination is performed when an alert indicating that a worm is present is received from a terminal in the LAN, and thus communication information is stored in the log DB 77 until then (step S77). Information stored in the log DB 77 is information that combines information stored in the cross map DB 74 and communication data.

  If communication information has not been received, the following processing is performed (step S12). When a request for disconnecting the terminal of the infection source is received from another monitor system 20 (step S17), disconnection processing is performed (step S19). The cutting process will be described later.

  If the request for disconnection of the terminal of the infection source has not been received, the following processing is performed (step S17). When a predetermined time has elapsed since the previous history determination process (step S20), the history determination process is performed (step S21).

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the history determination process. In the history determination process, the suspected infected terminal is determined as follows based on the information stored in the cross map DB 74.

  Of the records in the cross map DB 74, records having the same MAC address of the “transmission source” (hereinafter referred to as cross map records) are extracted from the records that are subject to history determination (step S42).

  Then, the “MAC address” field of the network configuration DB 79 is searched with the MAC address of the “source” of the cross map records (step S43). If there is no matching record, it can be understood that the MAC address of the “source” of the cross map record is not the MAC address of the router 45, that is, the MAC address of the terminal. In that case, the cross-map record is information of communication data transmitted from a single terminal.

  If the MAC address of the “source” of the cross map record is not the MAC address of the router 45 (step S44), that is, if the cross map record is information of communication data transmitted from a single terminal, history processing is performed as it is. Is performed (step S45).

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing history processing. Here, the suspected infected terminal is specified by three criteria. The first criterion is whether or not the “source” terminal has accessed a sub-network that does not exist in the LAN a predetermined number of times (step S80). If the access has been made a predetermined number of times or more, the “IP address” and “MAC address” of the “transmission source” are stored in the infection source terminal DB 78 (step S86).

  FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram showing a cross-map record of a “transmission source” terminal that is determined to be a suspected infection terminal based on the first criterion. In step S80, if the “IP address” of the “transmission destination” of the cross map record does not belong to any of the sub-networks sb in the network configuration DB 79, the “transmission source” terminal does not exist in the LAN. Determine that you are accessing. Note that the subnetwork sb of the network configuration DB 79 can be specified from the “subnet mask” and “network number” of the network configuration DB 79.

  In this way, the number of accesses to the sub-network that does not exist in the LAN is counted up. And when the obtained frequency | count is more than predetermined number, it preserve | saves in the infection source terminal DB78 as a suspicious infection terminal. The predetermined number of times is registered in the threshold DB 73, and processing is performed with reference to this.

  The second criterion in FIG. 12 is whether or not the “transmission source” terminal performs transmission by sequentially changing the “transmission destination” IP address a predetermined number of times or more (step S82). If the IP address of the “transmission destination” is changed sequentially, the “IP address” and “MAC address” of the “transmission source” are stored in the infection source terminal DB 78 (step S86).

  FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram showing a cross-map record of a “transmission source” terminal that is determined to be a suspected infection terminal based on the second criterion. In step S82, the “IP address” of “Destination” in the cross map records is searched, and the number of times that “IP address” is regularly changed is counted.

  In the example of FIG. 14, it can be seen that the values of the host address part of the IP addresses in the second and subsequent lines are changed one by one in order and are changed regularly. And when the obtained frequency | count is more than predetermined times, it preserve | saves in the infection source terminal DB78 as a suspected infection terminal. The predetermined number of times is registered in the threshold DB 73, and processing is performed with reference to this.

  The third criterion in FIG. 12 is whether or not the “source” terminal is accessing a specific port number (step S84). When accessing a specific port number, the “IP address” and “MAC address” of the “source” are stored in the infection source terminal DB 78 (step S86). The specific port number is a port number corresponding to a security hole or the like, and is registered in the threshold DB 73.

  FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a cross-map record of a “transmission source” terminal that is determined to be a suspected infection terminal based on the third criterion. In step S84, the “port number” of “transmission destination” in the cross map record is actually searched to determine whether or not a specific port number is being accessed. In the example of FIG. 15, the port having “1025” as the “port number” is accessed. Since this “port number” is registered in the threshold DB 73, it is stored in the infection source terminal DB 78 as a suspected infection terminal assuming that a specific port number is accessed.

Returning again to FIG. When the MAC address of the “source” of the cross map record is the MAC address of the router 45 (step S44), the corresponding MAC address estimation process is performed for each cross map record (step S46).

  When the MAC address is rewritten by the router 45, the transmission source terminal cannot be specified by the MAC address. Since the IP address is dynamically assigned by the DHCP servers 31a and 31c, the IP address cannot be used to specify the source terminal. Therefore, the MAC address of the “source” terminal is estimated using information of the IP node scope 25 that regularly collects terminal information such as “MAC address” and “IP address”. Further, the estimated MAC address is used for specifying the transmission source terminal.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the corresponding MAC address estimation process. The left side is a flowchart of the monitor system 20, and the right side is a flowchart of the IP node scope 25. In the corresponding MAC address estimation process, the monitor system 20 specifies the subnetwork sb to which the transmission source terminal that has transmitted the communication information belongs from the “IP address” of the “transmission source”, and sets the IP node scope 25 of the subnetwork sb. Specify (step S90).

  Then, the terminal information after the date and time when the previous history determination was made is requested to the IP node scope 25 specified in step S90 (step S92). When receiving a terminal information transmission request (step S97), the IP node scope 25 extracts corresponding terminal information from the terminal information DB 55 (step S98) and transmits it to the requested monitor system 20 (step S99). ).

  The monitor system 20 receives the terminal information (step S93), and estimates the “MAC address” of the transmission source terminal from the “IP address” and “date and time” of the “transmission source” (step S94). The method for estimating the “MAC address” is as follows.

  The terminal information includes “date and time”, “MAC address”, and “IP address”. On the other hand, the record of the cross map records includes the “IP address” and “date and time” of “source”. From the terminal information, a record having an “IP address” that matches the “IP address” of the “source” is extracted, and the record of “date / time” closest to the “date / time” of the “source” is further extracted from the record. Pick out. Then, the “MAC address” of the record is estimated as the “MAC address” of the source terminal.

  The processing from step S90 to step S94 described above is performed for all records of cross map records (step S95).

  Returning again to FIG. When the MAC address estimation process (step S46) is completed, a record having the same “MAC address” of “source” is extracted (step S47). Since the extracted record has the same “MAC address”, it is information of communication data transmitted from a single terminal. Then, the history process described above is performed (step S48). In the history processing here, only the MAC address is stored in the infection source terminal DB 78. This is because the IP address may be changed in the same terminal in the history and is not necessarily limited to one.

  The processes in steps S47 and S48 are performed until all the cross map record records are completed (step S49). Then, the processing from step S41 to step S49 is performed for all the records that are subject to history determination in the cross map DB 74 (step S50).

  The history determination may be performed for all records in the cross map DB 74, or may be performed for records other than the records for which history determination has already been performed. Even when the history determination is performed on all the records in the cross map DB 74, the corresponding MAC address estimation process of the record that has already been the target of the history determination has been completed. Therefore, it is not necessary to perform the corresponding MAC address estimation process for those records.

  Further, although the request for terminal information in step S92 is repeatedly performed, if the terminal information has already been received from the IP node scope 25, it is not necessary to perform the request. The terminal information already obtained may be used.

  Returning again to FIG. Through the content determination process (step S15) or the history determination process (step S21), the IP address and the MAC address when the infection source terminal transmits the communication information are registered in the infection source terminal DB 78. Based on the information registered in the infection source terminal DB 78, next, infection source identification and reporting processing is performed (step S16). The infection source identification process is a process for identifying where the infection source terminal currently exists. Since the infection source terminal may be moved and connected in the LAN, it is a necessary process.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing an infection source identification process and a report process. First, in the infection source identification process, a record is read from the infection source terminal DB 78 (step S100), and if a record exists (step S101), the IP node scope 25 is inquired about the subnetwork sb to which the infection source terminal belongs (step S102). .

  That is, all the IP node scopes 25 are read from the network configuration DB 79, and the terminals having the MAC address of the infection source terminal in the subnetwork sb for which the terminal information is collected for the IP node scopes 25. Inquire whether or not exists.

  Upon receiving the inquiry, the IP node scope 25 searches for the latest terminal information and searches for a corresponding MAC address. If it exists, the name of the subnetwork sb from which the terminal information is collected is transmitted to the monitoring system 20 that made the inquiry. If it does not exist, do nothing.

  The monitor system 20 receives the name of the subnetwork sb. Then, the monitor system 20 transmits a disconnection request for the infection source terminal to the monitor system 20 that can disconnect the infection source terminal among the monitor systems 20 belonging to the subnetwork sb (step S103). The MAC address of the infection source terminal is attached to the disconnection request (and the IP address if the IP address is registered in the infection source terminal DB 78).

  Alternatively, the monitor system 20 transmits the name of the subnetwork sb to be disconnected to the monitor system 20 that can disconnect the subnetwork sb itself (step S103).

  The monitor system 20 capable of disconnecting the infection source terminal is a monitor system 20 in which the “disconnect flag” in the network configuration DB 79 is “1”. If there is no monitor system 20 capable of disconnecting the infection source terminal in the subnetwork sb, a disconnection request is transmitted to the monitor system 20 capable of disconnecting the subnetwork sb itself.

  For example, in the network configuration DB 79 of FIG. 6, if there is no monitor system 20 in which the “disconnect flag” is “1” in the sub-network sb2, the “disconnect sub-network” field is searched, The monitor system 20 that can disconnect the sub-network sb2 is specified. In FIG. 6, it can be seen that the monitor system 20d can disconnect the sub-network sb.

  The monitor system 20 performs a reporting process after the disconnection request. In the reporting process, the monitor system 20 sends a terminal information transmission request to the IP node scope 25 in the LAN (step S106). The transmission request is made together with the MAC address of the infection source terminal.

  Upon receiving the terminal information transmission request (step S109), the IP node scope 25 extracts a record having a MAC address that matches the MAC address of the terminal of the infection source from the terminal information DB 55 (step S110), and requested it. It transmits to the monitor system 20 (step S111). If there is no record, a message indicating that there is no record is sent.

  The monitor system 20 that has received the terminal information from all the IP node scopes 25 (step S107) outputs the alert information to the management server (step S108). The alert information is information having the contents shown in FIG. One or more pieces of terminal information of the infection source terminal acquired in steps S106 and S107 are transmitted as a terminal information collection history. The “installation location” and “user information” in FIG. 1 are included in the terminal information, and may be transmitted as the terminal information collection history.

  When the terminal of the infection source is specified by the history determination process, the “transmission source” and “transmission destination” information of the alert information is a plurality of pieces of information of cross map records.

  When the terminal of the infection source is specified by the content determination process, the destination terminal information is also transmitted as the terminal information collection history. The terminal information of “destination” is acquired as follows. First, the “destination” IP node scope 25 identifiable from the “destination” “IP address” is inquired about the “MAC address” of the terminal having the “IP address”. Then, a terminal information transmission request having the “MAC address” is sent to the IP node scope 25 in the LAN, and the terminal information is acquired.

  The processes from step S102 to step S108 described above are performed for all infection source terminals stored in the infection source terminal DB 78.

  On the other hand, the monitor system 20 that has received the disconnection request performs disconnection processing (step S19 in FIG. 9). FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing the cutting process. The monitor system 20 that has received the disconnection request refers to the network device DB 76 and identifies a network device that can issue a disconnection instruction (step S122). This is because a network device that can issue a disconnection instruction is a network device managed by itself.

  When disconnecting at the router 45 (step S123), that is, when disconnecting the subnetwork sb itself to which the infection source terminal belongs, the router 45 is instructed to disconnect the port of the subnetwork sb to which the infection source terminal belongs (step S127). ). For example, when the monitor system 20d in FIG. 2 disconnects the subnetwork sb1, the monitor system 20d instructs the router 45a to disconnect the port p4.

  When not disconnecting by the router 45 (step S123), that is, when the infection source terminal is disconnected by the switching hubs 40a and 40c, the “MAC address” of the infection source terminal is designated in the switching hubs 40a and 40c, and the terminal belongs. An instruction to disconnect the port is issued (step S128).

  For example, when the monitor system 20b in FIG. 2 wants to disconnect the user terminal 30a1, it designates the MAC address of the user terminal 30a1 to the switching hub 40a and issues a disconnection instruction. Since the switching hub 40a can specify which port the terminal is communicating with by the MAC address of the terminal, the switching hub 40a disconnects the port p1 by the disconnection instruction.

  When only the IP address of the infection source terminal can be specified and the MAC address is unknown, the MAC address can be specified from the IP address by ARP.

  In FIG. 9, when the immediate determination flag is OFF (step S13), the received communication information is stored (step S18), and batch processing is performed. FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing batch processing. The flowchart on the left side is a flowchart of the monitor system 20, and the flowchart on the right side is a flowchart of the IP node scope 25.

  The terminal that has received the communication information including the worm detects the worm and transmits a mail including an alert to the mail server 33. The alert includes “date and time” when communication information including the worm is received, “thread type” of the worm, “MAC address” and “current IP address” of the terminal that has received the worm.

  The mail server 33 transmits a mail including the received alert to the specific monitor system 20. The specific monitor system 20 is registered in the mail server 33 as a master monitor system, and performs the following processing.

  The master monitor system that has received the mail including the alert (step S130) extracts “date and time”, “thread type” of the worm, “MAC address” and “current IP address” of the terminal that received the worm from the mail. (Step S131).

  Then, the history of the IP address of the terminal having the “MAC address” is acquired from the extracted “MAC address”. Therefore, a request for transmission of terminal information having the MAC address is made to all IP node scopes 25 (step S132).

  The IP node scope 25 receives the transmission request (step S140), and extracts terminal information having the MAC address (step S141). Then, the terminal information is transmitted to the monitor system 20 that has made the transmission request (step S142).

  The monitor system 20 receives terminal information from all IP node scopes 25 and creates a history of IP addresses of terminals that have received the worm (step S134). The terminal information can be created because it includes “date and time” and “IP address”.

  Then, the IP address history of the terminal that received the worm is transmitted to all the monitor systems 20 in the LAN (step S135). The monitor system 20 that has received the IP address history performs the same processing as the master monitor system.

  First, based on the IP address history of the terminal that received the worm, communication information transmitted to the terminal that received the worm is extracted from the log DB 77 (step S136). This is because communication information including the worm exists in the communication information transmitted to the terminal that has received the worm. The extraction may be performed based on “date and time” in the log DB 77 and “IP address” of “transmission destination”.

  Then, the above-described content determination process is performed on the extracted communication information (step S137). The content determination process is performed on all communication information extracted in step S136 (step S138). Further, the above-described infection source identification and reporting process is also performed (step S139).

A5. effect:
According to this embodiment, terminal information of a terminal on the network is acquired, and when a terminal that transmits illegal data that may contain a worm is found, the terminal information of the terminal is output. It becomes possible to do. The terminal information can also be used as information for identifying the worm infection source. In addition, by monitoring the contents of communication data or the communication history, it is possible to find a terminal that is sending unauthorized data and output information for identifying the source of worm infection.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, it is also possible to specify the infection source based on the information output as described above. By specifying the source of infection, it is also possible to disconnect the source of infection from the network.

  In addition, when network traffic increases and communication contents cannot be determined every time communication data is received, communication data between terminals is stored. When a worm is detected by a virus check software or the like from a predetermined terminal on the network, information that can be used to identify the infection source of the worm is also output by analyzing communication data and the like. It is possible.

B. Variation:
As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to such embodiment at all, and in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention, it can implement in various forms. Of course. For example, the inquiry processing of the subnetwork sb in step S102 may be omitted after the content determination processing in step S15. This is because, in step S15, the content determination process is performed immediately after receiving the communication information, so the possibility that the terminal that transmitted the worm is moving in the LAN is low.

  In addition, when the infection source terminal is specified by the history determination process, the disconnection process may not be performed. This is because there are many cases where there is no need to disconnect from the network because it is only supposed to be infected with a worm.

  When the history determination process ends, the contents of the cross map DB 74 may be deleted. After receiving the alert and performing the content determination process, the content of the log DB 77 may be deleted.

  The detection support system may be used in combination with the method described in Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-072371, to take worm countermeasures.

  The “transmission destination” of the alert information by the history determination process may be at least a part of the cross-map records, or may not have the “transmission destination” information. On the other hand, the terminal information may also be attached to the “transmission destination” of the alert information by the history discrimination processing.
