ROPecker: A Generic and Practical Approach For Defending Against ROP Attacks

Abstract: Return-Oriented Programming (ROP) is a sophisticated exploitation technique that is able to drive target applications to perform arbitrary unintended operations by constructing a gadget chain reusing existing small code sequences (gadgets). Existing defense mechanisms either only handle specific types of gadgets, require access to source code and/or a customized compiler, break the integrity of application binary, or suffer from high performance overhead. In this paper, we present a novel system, ROPecker, to efficiently and effectively defend against ROP attacks without relying on any other side information (e.g., source code and compiler support) or binary rewriting. ROPecker detects an ROP attack at run-time by checking the presence of a sufficiently long chain of gadgets in past and future execution flow, with the assistance of the taken branches recorded in the Last Branch Record (LBR) registers and an efficient technique combining offline analysis with run-time emulation. We also design a sliding window mechanism to invoke the detection logic in proper timings, which achieves both high detection accuracy and efficiency. We build an ROPecker prototype on x86-based Linux computers and evaluate its security effectiveness, space cost and performance overhead. In our experiment, ROPecker can detect all ROP attacks from real-world examples and generated by the generalpurpose ROP compiler Q. It has small footprints on memory and disk storage, and only incurs acceptable performance overhead on CPU computation, disk I/O and network I/O.

Cyber physical system - smart cloud traffic control

Abstract: A cyber physical system for smart cloud traffic control is proposed. It is an intellectual (smart) road infrastructure for monitoring and control of traffic in real-time through the use of global systems for positioning and navigation, mobile gadgets and the Internet in order to improve the quality and safety of vehicle movement, as well as for minimizing the time and costs when vehicles are moved at the specified routes. The main innovative idea is step-by-step transfer of traffic lights from the ground to a virtual cloud space for vehicle management, equipped with a mobile gadget or computer, which displays on the screen map, route, coordinates of the road user and real traffic signals. A set of innovative technologies to address the social, humanitarian, economic, energy, insurance, crime and environmental problems through the creation and application of cloud-based digital traffic monitoring and management is developed. All of these technologies and functional components are integrated into the system automaton model of cyber physical system for interaction between an infrastructure cloud of exact monitoring and digital control and vehicle gadget or computer.

Bootstrapping Adoption of the Pico Password Replacement System

Abstract: In previous work we presented Pico, an authentication system designed to be both more usable and more secure than passwords. One unsolved problem was that Pico, in its quest to explore the whole solution space without being bound by compatibility shackles, requires changes at both the prover and the verifier, which makes it hard to convince anyone to adopt it: users won’t buy an authentication gadget that doesn’t let them log into anything and service providers won’t support a system that no users are equipped to log in with. In this paper we present three measures to break this vicious circle, starting with the “Pico Lens” browser add-on that rewrites websites on the fly so that they appear Pico-enabled. Our add-on offers the user most (though not all) of the usability and security benefits of Pico, thus fostering adoption from users even before service providers are on board. This will enable Pico to build up a user base. We also developed a server-side Wordpress plugin which can serve both as a reference example and as a useful enabler in its own right (as Wordpress is one of the leading content management platforms on the web). Finally, we developed a software version of the Pico client running on a smartphone, the Pico App, so that people can try out Pico (at the price of slightly reduced security) without having to acquire and carry another gadget. Having broken the vicious circle we’ll be in a stronger position to persuade providers to offer support for Pico in parallel with passwords.

Automatic construction of printable return-oriented programming payload

Abstract: Return-oriented programming is a kind of codereuse technique for attackers, which is very effective to bypass the DEP defense. However, the instruction snippet (we call it gadget) is often unprintable 1. This shortcoming can limit the ROP attack to be deployed to practice, since non-ASCII scanning can detect such ROP payload. In this paper, we present a novel method that only uses the printable gadgets, as such it can circumvent the non-ASCII detection. However, this method is non-trival because printable gadgets count for about 10 percents of all the gadgets we can find in existing code(e.g., library or program code). Additionally, not only the gadget address but also data should all be printable in our ROP payload. To construct the printable ROP payload, we propose reverse derivation method to transform original shellcode to printable ROP payload. The transformation is driven by state machines, which indicate the status of data flows. Experimental results show that our method can construct the printable ROP payload that has the same functionality as the real-world malicious shellcode, in addition, the construction process is totally automatic.

The Rise of the Gadget and Hyperludic Me-Dia

Abstract: Though digital “gadgets” have become one of the most important sectors of consumer electronics, the concept itself has been largely overlooked. This article traces the history of the gadget from its nineteenth-century origins as a placeholding name to its use for a class of technical objects, through to its incorporation of electronics and its contemporary success. Building upon Jean Baudrillard’s analysis, the article explores how digital technology has changed the gadget’s nature and capacities. It argues that the digital gadget’s success lies in its hyperfunctionality, hyperludic experience, and relationship with me-dia. It analyzes the digital gadget’s role in the reorientation of the broadcast ecology around personalized media worlds and experiences, arguing that its mode of play represents an integration of the life, activities, bodies, and attention of the individual that extends beyond that achieved by broadcast media

Mechanism and kinematic analysis of a robotic gadget for assisting hand movements of persons with severe disabilities to promote their community participation

Abstract: Hand movements such as those necessary to use smart devices or credit cards are vital to modern-day daily life, both for able-bodied people and those with disabilities. Therefore, we have developed a robotic gadget for assisting people with severe disabilities by supporting the hand movements needed for everyday life and social activities, and thus promote those persons’ participation in the community. To select the optimal services to be provided, we implemented focus-group interviews, targeting people with spinal cord injuries above the C4 vertebrae. Based on the extracted optimal services, we developed a robotic gadget to assist with a wide range of hand movements. The robotic gadget consists of a complex work module (offering three degrees of freedom) to assist with a range of hand movements, and a robotic arm (also with three degrees of freedom) to move the complex work module. The robotic arm incorporates a “tendon mechanism” whereby wires are used to minimize the size of the robotic arm joint. A parallel link mechanism automatically controls the position of the complex work module so that the smart device always faces the user regardless of the rotation of the robotic arm. The use of the parallel link mechanism also reduces the number of actuators required to keep the complex work module facing the user. The complex work module incorporates a card holder, which can load and eject up to four cards, and uses micro piezo motors to minimize its size. By implementing kinematic analysis, we calculated the position and orientation of an end-effector that can determine the space in which the complex work module operates. In this study, we verified the performance of the robotic gadget by building a prototype. The robotic gadget for supporting hand movements can be installed on a wheelchair or within the user’s range of activity, and is expected to help severely disabled people as it improves their access to smart devices, assists them with the hand movements needed to partake in social activities, increases their interactions with able-bodied people, and promotes their participation in the community.

Design and Implementation of Efficient Mitigation against Return-oriented Programming

Abstract: An ROP attack creates gadget sequences which consist of existing code snippets in a program, and hijacks the control flow of a program by chaining and executing gadget sequences consecutively. Existing defense schemes have limitations in that they cause high execution overhead, an increase in the binary size overhead, and a low applicability. In this paper, we solve these problems by introducing zero-sum defender, which is a fast and space-efficient mitigation scheme against ROP attacks. We find a fundamental property of gadget execution in which control flow starts in the middle of a function without a call instruction and ends with a return instruction. So, we exploit this property by monitoring whether the execution is abused by ROP attacks. We achieve a very low runtime overhead with a very small increase in the binary size. In our experimental results, we verified that our defense scheme prevents real world ROP attacks, and we showed that there is only a 2% performance overhead and a 1% binary size increase overhead in several benchmarks.
