Title
n-ROPdetector: Proposal of a Method to Detect the ROP Attack Code on the Network
Abstract
Targeted attacks exploiting a zero-day vulnerability are serious threats for many organizations. One reason is that generally available attack tools are very powerful and easy-to-use for attackers. In this paper, we propose n-ROPdetector that detects ROP (Return-Oriented Programming) attack code on the network side. ROP is a core technique used in zero-day attacks. The n-ROPdetector is noticeable method to detect ROP code efficiently on the network side rather than on the host machines side. To evaluate the n-ROPdetector and to show its effectiveness, we used the attack code samples from the attack tool Metasploit and the n-ROPdetector detected 84% of ROP codes in Metasploit.
