Description

Description
METHOD FOR INTERCEPTING MALICIOUS CODE IN COMPUTER SYSTEM AND SYSTEM THEREFOR
Technical Field
[1] The present invention relates to a computer system for intercepting a malicious code. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for intercepting a malicious code which might propagate into computers through a network to damage the computer system, thereby minimizing the damage, and a system therefor.
[2]
Background Art
[3] The term "malicious code" generally refers to a program code that is intentionally created in order to do damage to the computer system. The malicious code includes a virus, a worm, a Trojan horse, a hacking program, and so on.
[4] If a system is infected with a malicious code, the malicious code breaks or distorts a variety of resources within the system, thereby doing damage to the system. Accordingly, many cure-oriented vaccine programs for recovering the system infected with a malicious code have been developed.
[5] However, a certain period of time is consumed until a cure method and recovery- oriented vaccine program of the system infected with a new malicious code is developed. In other words, it takes time for a cure method to have been developed since a malicious code was found and the damage was reported.
[6] Malicious codes are created, distributed, and do damage to a system in shorter period of time due to widespread use of the Internet and the improvement of network technology nowadays. Therefore, even while vaccine programs are developed and distributed, a lot of systems are already infected with the malicious codes. The malicious codes are transferred to other systems, leading to a significant amount of damage.
[7] Furthermore, in the case of vaccines, the amount of system resources for recovery processes of damaged systems are increased and information about scores of thousands of malicious codes is consistently maintained. Accordingly, several systems left without the help of vaccines due to lack of resources and difficulties in management.
[8] There have been urgent needs for creating a solution to minimize damages occurring in the described series of processes above since the appearance of a malicious code until the development, distribution, and application of a new vaccine program.
[9] In response to the current problems, a new method, apparatus, and system has been invented either to intercept the invasion of malicious codes or to prohibit the activity of the malicious codes within the system for minimizing damages to a computer system by the malicious codes from the time of the discovery of the malicious codes to the time of the full development of vaccine programs. [10]
Disclosure of Invention
Technical Problem [11] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for intercepting a malicious code in order to protect a computer system from the invasion of the malicious code in real-time. [12] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for intercepting a malicious code in order to quarantine the operation of the malicious code within the computer network system.
[13] Still another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for intercepting the invasion and the operation of the malicious code in accordance with a policy for intercepting the malicious code. [14] Still another object of the present invention is to provide a system for intercepting the malicious code, which creates an effective policy, for intercepting the malicious code, to be transmitted and applied to the computer system in real-time. [15] Other objects and advantages of this invention will be apparent from the ensuing disclosure and appended claims. [16]
Technical Solution [17] To achieve the above objects, according to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a malicious code interception method comprising the steps of: [18] detecting a malicious code distributed through a network,
[19] analyzing the malicious code for an interception policy,
[20] generating the interception policy for intercepting the malicious code based on the analyzed result,
[21] transmitting the interception policy to a computer system through the network, and
[22] replacing the interception policy with the vaccine program in the case where a vaccine program for the malicious code is generated. [23] Furthermore, according to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a malicious code interception apparatus including: [24] a malicious code detector for classifying a program as a malicious code if the program that enters a computer system through a network has a bad effect on the computer system, [25] a policy management unit for managing an interception policy received from an external terminal or a server,
[26] an interception/preemption occupancy execution unit for intercepting the malicious codes according to the interception policy,
[27] a log file management unit for generating an interception history, for analyzing an activity pattern of the malicious code in real-time and for recording the interception history of the malicious code in accordance with the interception policy, and
[28] a communication unit for transmitting the log file of the cure measure of the malicious code to the external terminal or the server providing the interception policy, and for receiving the interception policy from the external terminal or the server.
[29] In a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a malicious code interception system including:
[30] an interception policy management apparatus for generating an interception policy to intercept the malicious code by means of the analysis of a method and a activity pattern of the malicious code that invades a computer system through a network, and for transmitting the interception policy to the computer system, and
[31] a computer system connected to the interception policy management apparatus through the network, for informing the interception policy management apparatus of the fact that the malicious code has been detected, intercepting the malicious code according to the interception policy received from the interception policy management apparatus, generating an intercepted history as a log file, and uploading the interception history on the interception policy management apparatus.
[32] Therefore, the present invention is advantageous in that it can minimize damage on a computer system exposed to a malicious code, and an infection period.
[33] As ascribed above, according to the present method, apparatus, and system for intercepting the malicious codes are advantageous in that they can minimize the amount of damage to a computer system that is exposed to the malicious code when a vaccine program has not yet been generated, because the interception policy is generated and applied at the very moment when a particular activity pattern of the malicious code spread through a network is detected.
[34] Furthermore, the present invention for protecting even from the invasion of the malicious code is advantageous in that it can significantly reduce the recovery cost that must be inevitably paid when treatment is impossible with any vaccine.
[35] In addition, since a subject to be precluded is focused on a malicious code and the activity of the malicious code, computer system resources may be less distorted or changed. It is therefore possible to minimize damage incurred by variation in the system resources.
[36] Furthermore, a manager can select an interception policy needed for a system and can apply the selected interception policy. In addition, a malicious code can be precluded rapidly even in a system to which a vaccine program against the malicious code is not applied due to limited system resources. Accordingly, damage by variation can be minimized.
[37] Additionally, in the present invention, e-mail including warning sentences is written and is then sent to a recipient with an original e-mail being attached thereto, unlike the related art method in which e-mail that has been infected with malicious codes or e- mail that is considered as a malicious code is deleted, or a portion of an original e-mail is changed. Therefore, the present invention is advantageous in that it can preclude malicious codes through e-mail while minimizing inconvenience incurred by complete interception of the original e-mail.

The interception policy management apparatus 100 also consistently finds the activity patterns or characteristics of the malicious codes, and reinforces the interception policy. The computer system 200 intercepts malicious codes by applying the in- terception policy in such a way to be suitable for characteristics of each system. The network 300 performs consistent information exchange between the interception policy management apparatus 100 and the computer system 200. The computer system 400 is connected to the computer system 200 via a network. Furthermore, the interception policy management apparatus 100 is a server computer for generating an interception policy by analyzing a path and a method in which malicious codes detected on the network invade a computer system, and a pattern in which the malicious codes that have invaded the computer system is active.
[48] The interception policy management apparatus 100 comprisesa malicious code analyzing unit 110, an interception policy generating unit 120, an interception policy update unit 130 and a communication unit 140.
[49] The malicious codes analyzing unit 110 analyzes a pattern in which malicious codes are active can be known by extracting an IP used to gain access to a system by the malicious codes, a port number, a network protocol method, a network protocol, a name or a file nameof a program related to the malicious codes, the title of e-mail, the contents of e-mail, a file attached to an e-mail, a folder used by malicious codes, registr y, Mutex, semaphores, event information generated by malicious codes, and/or the like.
[50] If one or more of an invasion path, an invasion method of malicious codes, and an activity pattern of the malicious codes are detected, the interception policy generating unit 120 of the interception policy management apparatus 100 generates an interception policy based on the detected information. At this time, the interception policy management apparatus 100 generates an interception policy including the information about the name and version of an expected vaccine program for the malicious codes.
[51] The interception policy update unit 130 of the interception policy management apparatus 100 updates an interception policy by periodically complementing or deleting the interception policy in real-time whenever information about malicious codes is updated.
[52] The interception policy management apparatus 100 transmits a generated interception policy via the communication unit 140 to the computer system 200 from which malicious codes will be precluded. Furthermore, the interception policy management apparatus 100 distributes an interception policy to the computer system 200 via the communication unit 140 whenever the interception policy is upgraded. If a vaccine program corresponding to a malicious code is generated, the interception policy management apparatus 100 deletes an existing interception policy, downloads the vaccine program or patches an existing interception policy, thereby supplementing vulnerable parts. If the activity of a malicious code epidemic is stopped, the in- terception policy management apparatus 100 deletes an interception policy according to the malicious code so that the interception of the malicious code is stopped.
[53] The computer system 200 of the present invention precludes the malicious code effectively in such a way to be suitable for characteristics of each system. The computer system 200 is connected to the interception policy management apparatus 100 via the network 300 and exchanges data with the interception policy management apparatus 100. The computer system 200 is connected to the plural numbers of computer systems 400 via the network 300, and the interception policy can be distributed if the plural numbers of computer systems 400 request the interception policy.
[54] The computer system 200 includes a detector 210, an interception policy selection unit 230, an execution unit 250, a backup/recovery unit 260, a log file management unit 270, and a transmission unit 280.
[55] The detector 210 detects the malicious code which intrudes into the system. The interception policy selection unit 230 selects only an interception policy suitable for its own systemfrom interception policies received from the interception policy management apparatus 100.
[56] The execution unit 250 proceeds with the execution for intercepting the malicious code according to the interception policy. That is, the execution unit 250 must intercept only a malicious code in order to minimize variation in resources of the computer system 200 so that the computer system 200 is normally operated.
[57] The backup/recovery unit 260 serves to restore information about a specific file, a registry, and/or the like when the information about the specific file, the registry, and/ or the like is deleted due to unnecessary interception while the execution unit 250 intercepts malicious codes. In addition, the backup/recovery unit 260 backups the files and the registry that look suspiciously like the malicious code before the files and the registry are deleted, and recovers the files and the registry after they are once deleted if a manager chooses to do that.
[58] The log file management unit 270 generates a log file of the interception policy that was applied to the malicious code depending on its method, path, or activity pattern in which it invaded and was active in the computer system 200. The log file management unit 270 also manages the log files that contain a number of interception modules for performing the interception policy and collects real-time analysis of the results of the intercepting malicious codes.
[59] FIG. 2 is an internal block diagram of a malicious code interception apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 2, the malicious code interception apparatus 500 may be a computer such as a laptop computer, or a specific server connected to a number of terminals, which can be connected to the network 300. The malicious code interception apparatus 500 executes interception against detected malicious codes. The malicious code interception apparatus 500 is a unified system of a portion of the interception policy management apparatus 100 and the computer system 200 shown in Fig. 1 for one computer system to execute interception policy except that the apparatus 100 generates interception policy.
[60] The malicious code interception apparatus 500 may further include a malicious code detector 510, a malicious code analysis unit 520, a policy management unit 530, an interception/preemption execution unit 540, a display unit 550, a backup/recovery unit 560, a log file management unit 570, and a communication unit 580.
[61] The malicious code detector 510 classifies a program as a malicious code if the program that enters the malicious code interception apparatus 500 (i.e., the computer system) through the network has a bad effect on the computer system.
[62] The malicious code analysis unit 520 analyzes a method in which the malicious code detected in the malicious code detector 510 invades the computer system, an invasion path, a pattern in which the malicious code is active within the computer system, and so on. Furthermore, if a log file is received from the log file management module 570, the malicious code analysis unit 520 determines whether there exists a new activity pattern of the malicious code by analyzing the log file.
[63] The policy management unit 530 receives an interception policy corresponding to the malicious code from an external terminal or a server and manages the received interception policy, or updates the interception policy such as modification and deletion of the policy.
[64] The interception/preemption execution unit 540, which corresponds to the execution unit 250 of the computer system 200 shown in Fig. 1, includes at least one of a network interception module 541, an e-mail interception module 543, a file/folder interception module 545, a registry interception module 547, and a resource preemption module 549.
[65] If an event set in the interception policy is generated due to a program entering the computer system (i.e., the malicious code interception apparatus 500) through the network, the network interception module 541 precludes the computer system from gaining access to the network by precluding an access port number, an IP address on the network, a protocol represented by TCP/UDP, and so on, according to the interception policy, and transmits the result to the log file management module 570.
[66] The e-mail interception module 543 is a mail server that transmits e-mail according to the interception policy. The e-mail interception module 543 requests the e-mail to be first transmitted to the e-mail interception module 543 before being transmitted to a computer system of a recipient. If a malicious code is found by analyzing information about an intercepted e-mail, the e-mail interception module 543 generates a warning e- mail, as a file that cannot be executed, and transmits the e-mail to the computer system of the recipient with the warning e-mail being attached thereto.
[67] The file/folder interception module 545 precludes a program, a process or a file, which tries to gain access to a specific file or folder defined in the interception policy or to generate or modify a specific file or folder, from gaining access to the specific file or folder. The file/folder interception module 545 also releases the sharing of a specific folder, deletes a program, a process or a file itself, which is classified as malicious code, thus precluding the malicious codes, and then transmits the results to the log file management module 570.
[68] The registry interception module 547 precludes malicious codes, which try to gain access to a registry defined in the interception policy or to generate or modify a registry, from gaining access to the registry, or precludes the malicious codes from generating or modifying the registry. Furthermore, the registry interception module 547 precludes the activity of the malicious codes by directly precluding the registry and transmits a series of interception results to the log file management module 570.
[69] The resource preemption module 549 precludes malicious codes from being active within the system, by preempting necessary resources that are required for the malicious codes to be active within the system. If the interception policy is provided to the computer system, the resource preemption module 549 preempts resources used by malicious codes such as Mutex, an event, semaphores and a specific registry in order to preclude the malicious codes from being normally active. For example, the resource preemptionmodule 549 uses the resources previously so that the malicious codes determine that they are already active within the computer system. Accordingly, the activity of the malicious codes within the computer system is hindered.
[70] The display unit 550 displays for the users the information about a particular malicious code either that has already invaded or that is quarantined after the invasion.
[71] The backup/recovery module 560 restores the lost files or registry information in case they were deleted by the unnecessary intercepting of the interception/preemption execution unit 540. Backup/recovery module 560 can also have the file and the registry information saved even before the information of a particular file or registry is deleted.
[72] The log file management module 570 records the history of all the results of the interceptions of the malicious codes invading the computer system by the interception policy, and creates real-time log file of the record for analyzing the activity patterns of the malicious code.
[73] The communication unit 580 transmits the log file providing the interception policy to an external terminal or a server, or receives the interception policy from the external terminal or the server.
[74] Each component of the malicious code interception apparatus 500 is combined as one device, but it does not have to be physically one. For example, the interception/ preemption execution unit 540 and the policy management unit 530, as a separately combined entity from the others, can interact via data transmitting device.
[75] The operation of the system constructed above according to the present invention will be described below.
[76] FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a malicious code interception method according to an embodiment of the present invention. If a malicious code is generated and distributed and an abnormal operation or irregular status by the malicious code is found in the computer system 200, it is determined that the abnormal patterns showing a constant activity is caused by a malicious code. If it is determined that the abnormal patterns arecaused by a malicious code, the malicious code is analyzed in reviewing a variety of factors such as a method or entry path in which the malicious code enters the computer system, the name of process in which the malicious code will be active, e- mail information, files and folders used, Mutex used and an event (S300). An interception policy including information about a subject to be precluded, a precluding method, information about a vaccine program corresponding to the malicious code, and so on is generated based on the analysis result of the step (S300), and then it is registered (S310).
[77] The generated interception policy is transmitted to a terminal from which the malicious code must be precluded (i.e., a computer system such as a desktop computer or a laptop computer) (S320).
[78] If the analysis result of the step (S300) is upgraded, the interception policy is upgraded in real-time. The computer system 200 gains access to the interception policy management server 100 that manages after generating the interception policy pe riodically or in real-time in order to download the upgraded interception policy from the interception policy management server 100.
[79] The computer system 200 selects an interception policy, which will be applied to the system, from the received interception policies. Even when the computer system 200 gains access to the interception policy management server 100 in order to download an upgraded interception policy, the computer system 200 can download only the selected interception policy (S330). The computer system 200 prevents the invasion of the malicious code or precludes the activity of the malicious code by employing the interception policy (S340). Furthermore, the computer system 200 generates a log file by policing the selected interception policy, an interception activity by the interception policy, the activity pattern of the malicious code, and so on, and uploads the generated log file onto the interception policy management server 100 (S350).
[80] The interception policy management server 100 analyzes the log file, upgrades the interception policy based on the analysis result, and transmits the upgraded interception policy to the computer system 200 (S360). The range and accuracy of the interception policy become higher while the contents of the interception policy are added and supplemented from the log file. The interception policy is consistently upgraded until a vaccine program corresponding to the malicious code is generated and distributed or it is determined that the activity of the malicious code has disappeared. Therefore, if the generated vaccine program is downloaded, the computer system 200 may stop the use of the interception policy or delete the interception policy itself (S370, S380).
[81] The present invention can be easily carried out by an ordinary skilled person in the art. Many modifications and changes may be deemed to be with the scope of the present invention as defined in the following claims.
