Ransomware Behavior Attack Construction via Graph Theory Approach

RAPTOR: Ransomware Attack PredicTOR

Ransomware, a type of malicious software that encrypts a victim’s files and only releases the cryptographic key once a ransom is paid, has emerged as a potentially devastating class of cybercrimes in the past few years. In this paper, we present RAPTOR, a promising line of defense against ransomware attacks. RAPTOR fingerprints attackers’ operations to forecast ransomware activity. More specifi...

Parametric Attack Graph Construction and Analysis⋆

We present the first steps towards an implementation of attack graph construction and analysis technique based on inference rules. In our model, XML credentials describe basic attacks to the system, then inference rules allow composition of new attacks. We aim at modifying previously developed algorithm for the analysis of transitive trust models to the analysis of attack graphs. Important pecu...

The Anatomy of a Ransomware Attack

Extinguishing Ransomware - A Hybrid Approach to Android Ransomware Detection

Mobile ransomware is on the rise and effective defense from it is of utmost importance to guarantee security of mobile users’ data. Current solutions provided by antimalware vendors are signature-based and thus ineffective in removing ransomware and restoring the infected devices and files. Also, current state-of-the art literature offers very few solutions to effectively detecting and blocking...

Survey on Ransomware: A New Era of Cyber Attack

In today’s world, a most popular crime is Cybercrime. In this paper through a literature study, effect of ransomware is discussed. In this needy internet world, how crucial is to use a non-secure connection and how it will track a normal user or unaware user into the trap of hacker and after that losing money in terms of bit-coins. At last, with the damage cause by the latest attack of ransomwa...
