Intrusion detection systems installed on the information security devices that control the internal and external perimeter of the demilitarized zones are not able to detect the vulnerability of ZeroLogon after the successful penetration of the intruder into the zone. Component solution for ZeroLogon control is offered. The paper presents the research results of the capabilities for built-in Active Directory audit mechanisms and open source intrusion detection/prevention systems, which allow identification of the critical vulnerability CVE-2020-1472. These features can be used to improve the quality of cyber-physical systems management, to perform audits, as well as to check corporate domains for ZeroLogon vulnerabilities.

Rahman, Md. Mahmudur, Roy, Shanto, Yousuf, Mohammad Abu.  2019.  DDoS Mitigation and Intrusion Prevention in Content Delivery Networks using Distributed Virtual Honeypots. 2019 1st International Conference on Advances in Science, Engineering and Robotics Technology (ICASERT). :1–6.

Content Delivery Networks(CDN) is a standout amongst the most encouraging innovations that upgrade performance for its clients' websites by diverting web demands from browsers to topographically dispersed CDN surrogate nodes. However, due to the variable nature of CDN, it suffers from various security and resource allocation issues. The most common attack which is used to bring down a whole network as well as CDN without even finding a loophole in the security is DDoS. In this proposal, we proposed a distributed virtual honeypot model for diminishing DDoS attacks and prevent intrusion in securing CDN. Honeypots are specially utilized to imitate the primary server with the goal that the attack is alleviated to the fake rather than the main server. Our proposed layer based model utilizes honeypot to be more effective reducing the cost of the system as well as maintaining the smooth delivery in geographically dispersed servers without performance degradation.

Now a day, Wireless Sensor Networks are widely used in military applications by its applications, it is extended to healthcare, industrial environments and many more. As we know that, there are some unique features of WSNs such as limited power supply, minimum bandwidth and limited energy. So, to secure traditional network, multiple techniques are available, but we can't use same techniques to secure WSNs. So to increase the overall security of WSNs, we required new ideas as well as new approaches. In general, intrusion prevention is the primary issue in WSNs and intrusion detection already reached to saturation. Thus, we need an efficient solution for proactive intrusion prevention towards WSNs. Thus, formal validation of protocols in WSN is an essential area of research. This research paper aims to formally verify as well as model some protocol used for intrusion detection using AVISPA tool and HLPSL language. In this research paper, the results of authentication and DoS attacks were detected is presented, but there is a need to prevent such type of attacks. In this research paper, a system is proposed in order to avoid intrusion using machine learning for the wireless sensor network. So, the proposed system will be used for intrusion prevention in a wireless sensor network.

Zhu, Yan, Zhang, Yi, Wang, Jing, Song, Weijing, Chu, Cheng-Chung, Liu, Guowei.  2019.  From Data-Driven to Intelligent-Driven: Technology Evolution of Network Security in Big Data Era. 2019 IEEE 43rd Annual Computer Software and Applications Conference (COMPSAC). 2:103–109.

With the advent of the big data era, information systems have exhibited some new features, including boundary obfuscation, system virtualization, unstructured and diversification of data types, and low coupling among function and data. These features not only lead to a big difference between big data technology (DT) and information technology (IT), but also promote the upgrading and evolution of network security technology. In response to these changes, in this paper we compare the characteristics between IT era and DT era, and then propose four DT security principles: privacy, integrity, traceability, and controllability, as well as active and dynamic defense strategy based on "propagation prediction, audit prediction, dynamic management and control". We further discuss the security challenges faced by DT and the corresponding assurance strategies. On this basis, the big data security technologies can be divided into four levels: elimination, continuation, improvement, and innovation. These technologies are analyzed, combed and explained according to six categories: access control, identification and authentication, data encryption, data privacy, intrusion prevention, security audit and disaster recovery. The results will support the evolution of security technologies in the DT era, the construction of big data platforms, the designation of security assurance strategies, and security technology choices suitable for big data.

Baykara, M., Güçlü, S..  2018.  Applications for detecting XSS attacks on different web platforms. 2018 6th International Symposium on Digital Forensic and Security (ISDFS). :1–6.

Today, maintaining the security of the web application is of great importance. Sites Intermediate Script (XSS) is a security flaw that can affect web applications. This error allows an attacker to add their own malicious code to HTML pages that are displayed to the user. Upon execution of the malicious code, the behavior of the system or website can be completely changed. The XSS security vulnerability is used by attackers to steal the resources of a web browser such as cookies, identity information, etc. by adding malicious Java Script code to the victim's web applications. Attackers can use this feature to force a malicious code worker into a Web browser of a user, since Web browsers support the execution of embedded commands on web pages to enable dynamic web pages. This work has been proposed as a technique to detect and prevent manipulation that may occur in web sites, and thus to prevent the attack of Site Intermediate Script (XSS) attacks. Ayrica has developed four different languages that detect XSS explanations with Asp.NET, PHP, PHP and Ruby languages, and the differences in the detection of XSS attacks in environments provided by different programming languages.

Stewart, Chase E., Vasu, Anne Maria, Keller, Eric.  2017.  CommunityGuard: A Crowdsourced Home Cyber-Security System. Proceedings of the ACM International Workshop on Security in Software Defined Networks & Network Function Virtualization. :1–6.

In this paper, we propose and implement CommunityGuard, a system which comprises of intelligent Guardian Nodes that learn and prevent malicious traffic from coming into and going out of a user's personal area network. In the CommunityGuard model, each Guardian Node tells others about emerging threats, blocking these threats for all users as soon as they begin. Furthermore, Guardian Nodes regularly update themselves with latest threat models to provide effective security against new and emerging threats. Our evaluation proves that CommunityGuard provides immunity against a range of incoming and outgoing attacks at all points of time with an acceptable impact on network performance. Oftentimes, the sources of DDoS attack traffic are personal devices that have been compromised without the owner's knowledge. We have modeled CommunityGuard to prevent such outgoing DDoS traffic on a wide scale which can hamstring the otherwise very frightening prospects of crippling DDoS attacks.

A honeypot is a deception tool for enticing attackers to make efforts to compromise the electronic information systems of an organization. A honeypot can serve as an advanced security surveillance tool for use in minimizing the risks of attacks on information technology systems and networks. Honeypots are useful for providing valuable insights into potential system security loopholes. The current research investigated the effectiveness of the use of centralized system management technologies called Puppet and Virtual Machines in the implementation automated honeypots for intrusion detection, correction and prevention. A centralized logging system was used to collect information of the source address, country and timestamp of intrusions by attackers. The unique contributions of this research include: a demonstration how open source technologies is used to dynamically add or modify hacking incidences in a high-interaction honeynet system; a presentation of strategies for making honeypots more attractive for hackers to spend more time to provide hacking evidences; and an exhibition of algorithms for system and network intrusion prevention.

Cloud computing significantly increased the security threats because intruders can exploit the large amount of cloud resources for their attacks. However, most of the current security technologies do not provide early warnings about such attacks. This paper presents a Finite State Hidden Markov prediction model that uses an adaptive risk approach to predict multi-staged cloud attacks. The risk model measures the potential impact of a threat on assets given its occurrence probability. The attacks prediction model was integrated with our autonomous cloud intrusion detection framework (ACIDF) to raise early warnings about attacks to the controller so it can take proactive corrective actions before the attacks pose a serious security risk to the system. According to our experiments on DARPA 2000 dataset, the proposed prediction model has successfully fired the early warning alerts 39.6 minutes before the launching of the LLDDoS1.0 attack. This gives the auto response controller ample time to take preventive measures.
