Embodiment Construction

[0030] The ROP protection method based on attack tree of the present invention, see figure 1 , including the following steps:

[0031] Step 1, select the program and system library files to be protected

[0032] It is specifically mentioned here that the system library file is also used as an input. The reason is that the system library file comes with the operating system, and there are also gadgets instruction fragments in it. Some remote attacks target system library files if the attacker finds gadgets instruction fragments in the system library files and hijacks the control flow, so that the attacker can still perform control flow hijacking attacks without knowing the source code.

[0033] Step 2, extract the gadgets instruction fragments in the program to be protected and the system library file

[0034] To extract the gadgets instruction fragments in the program to be protected and the library file, an existing tool can be used, such as the mona plug-in. The mona plug...

Abstract

The invention discloses an ROP (Return-Oriented Program) protection method based on an attack tree and belongs to the field of software security of computers. The ROP protection method comprises the following steps: extracting gadgets instruction segments from a program to be protected and a system library file; determining the type of each extracted gadgets instruction segment, and selecting a plurality of sensitive system functions; carrying out attack modeling by utilizing the extracted gadgets instruction segments through a method of constructing the attack tree, and analyzing all attack methods to obtain key gadgets; finally, protecting the key gadgets. The program is protected by utilizing an attack modeling manner, so that the difficulty that an attacker hijacks a control flow is enhanced and the protection efficiency is improved, and finally, the program control flow is safer.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of computer software security, and relates to a Return-Oriented Program (ROP) attack technology in response to control flow hijacking, in particular to an attack tree-based ROP protection method. Background technique [0002] Today's software has penetrated into all aspects of life, and plays an increasingly important role in people's diet, travel, transportation and other fields. Control flow hijacking attack is an important threat to software security, how to enhance the protection ability of software has become an important work. [0003] In the prior art, DEP and ASLR are usually used to deal with control flow hijacking attacks. DEP prevents the memory page from being both writable and executable by setting the attributes of the program memory page, so that the method of using the writable page to attack fails. The purpose of ASLR is to randomize the address space of the program, so that the address space obtain...
