DUPIN: Attack Learning Is Still Needed! Demonstrating Few-Shot after Unsupervised Pretraining Is A Nimble Forensics Learner

Abstract

We propose a novel approach to learning-based attack forensics called DUPIN. DUPIN performs unsupervised pre-training on an enormous amount of audit events in the form of provenance graphs. It then proceeds to a few-shot learning stage, leveraging a small number of labeled attack examples to fine-tune its detection capabilities. We pretrain DUPIN on up to 38 - 52 days of audit logs (7.3TB total) and evaluate it against various baselines on 25 APT campaigns across four different data sources, facilitating the scalable evaluation.

The Impact of Magma: A Ground-Truth Fuzzing Benchmark

Magma is an open-source and ground-truth fuzzing benchmark that enables uniform fuzzer evaluation and comparison. Magma was originally released with a research paper published at ACM SIGMETRICS 2021. This short paper explains the motivation, the design, and the impact of Magma, with a description of extensions to the original benchmark.

Permutation polynomials over finite fields from low-degree rational functions

This paper considers permutation polynomials over the finite field $F_{q^2}$ in even characteristic by utilizing low-degree permutation rational functions over $F_q$. As a result, we obtain two classes of permutation binomials and six classes of permutation pentanomials over $F_{q^2}$. Additionally, we show that the obtained binomials and pentanomials are quasi-multiplicative inequivalent to the known ones in the literature.

Using Hyper-V Sockets for Real-time Data Extraction from a Malware Analysis Sandbox

We present how Hyper-V sockets can be used as a real-time communication channel for a malware analysis sandbox. We show that, compared to WinSock TCP sockets, Hyper-V sockets are not subject to TCP/IP-layer blocking and are not enumerated by common TCP connection listing tools. We compare the throughput of the two communication channels as a function of buffer size.
